Mounting the probe rack (option)
The probe rack is mounted by ZEISS service engineers during the ini-
tial start-up. If the probe rack is to be installed in another location or a
second probe rack is to be installed, you have to observe certain
points.
Prerequisites for the probe rack
What are the requirements for the probe rack?
The requirements must be known before installing a probe rack.
– When using probes with long horizontal styli, it may prove impossi-
ble to use all holders.
Possibly two probe
racks
The requirements of the measuring job influence the number of num-
ber of holders which can be used and the height of the probe rack. It
may be necessary to install two probe racks.
Clarify questions in
advance
The following questions must be clarified before installing the probe
rack:
– Number of holders used for the measurement?
Space required by the widest probe?
– Number of probes required for workpiece measurement?
How to install the probe rack
The profile rail is attached to the guideway side. Two threaded holes
are provided for this purpose. Threaded bolts are then screwed into
the threaded holes and secured with a lock nut

rack” on page 5-12 .
Installation procedure
The holders are preassembled on the profile rail. The profile rail can be
attached directly to the guideway side.
Important!
Exact probe rack alignment is necessary to enable trouble-free probe
change. The deviation must not exceed 0.1mm over the total length
of the profile rail.
• Align the probe rack so that the deviation of the profile rail does
not exceed 0.1mm.
