Screwing technique
The probe components have threads. In this way the components can
be screwed together. Depending on the probe system, different
thread sizes are used: M2, M3 and M5.
– M5: VAST
Probe kits
There are different probe kits, e.g. for small and large workpieces, for
each probe system.
Technical data of probe components
The probe components differ with regard to material and geometry,
e.g. length and diameter of the probe element. The probe weight var-
ies accordingly.
The following table shows the technical data of some available
probes. This data shows the influence of the material and the geo-
metric sizes (e.g. length of the probe) on the probe weight. A table
with the technical data of other probe components is included with
the probe kits.
Probe kit Order no. Use
MPH, small 600891-9021 for VAST; small work-
