Wear of the probe tip can affect accuracy of the thickness measurements. Therefore,
the wear tip should be replaced if it shows areas of damage, denting, or abrasion.
There are three wear tip models available:
•
Standard wear tip, Olympus P/N: 86PR1-WC (U8780324)
• Chisel wear tip, Olympus P/N: 86PR1-CWC
(U8780326)
. This wear tip is used for
applications where the probe tip needs to fit into a slotted or recessed contoured
area, and where the standard tip will not fit.
• Extended wear tip, Olympus P/N: 86PR1-EWC [U8780344]. This wear tip has a
hard ceramic insert for greater wear resistance when the probe is contacting hard
materials like metal or glass.
4.4 Wear Tip Replacement
To replace the wear tip, simply unscrew, counterclockwise, the knurled section of the
probe tip and replace it with the appropriate replacement wear tip and hand tighten it
in a clockwise direction. The Magna-Mike 8600 must be recalibrated once the wear tip
has been removed or replaced. It is also recommended that the unit be recalibrated if
the wear tip has been tightened or loosened.
The user must select the type of wear tip to be used. The standard wear tip and the
extended wear tip both use the STANDARD wear tip setting in the MEASUREMENT
SETUP screen. By default, the Magna-Mike 8600 is set to the standard wear tip,
