Important!
Certain safety measures have to be observed to avoid damage to the
CMM and the measuring table.
• Observe the permissible workpiece weight

page 3-2 .
• Lower the workpiece onto the measuring table carefully. Lower
heavy workpieces at a maximum speed of
2mm/s .
The CMM may be damaged if the workpiece is set down hard.
• Make sure that the workpiece or lifting device does not strike the
bridge, quill, or drive side of the CMM.
Even light jolts may affect the functioning of the CMM.
• Place the workpiece upright on the measuring table.
• Do not slide the workpiece on the measuring table.
The surface of the table could be scratched when sliding the work-
piece, thus impairing the measuring accuracy of the CMM.
Clamping the workpiece
Important!
The maximum permissible torque for the threaded holes in the mea-
suring table is 40Nm.
• Tighten the screws to a maximum torque of 40Nm.
Workpieces made of soft materials may be deformed by chucks, thus
falsifying the results of the measurement.
• If necessary, use special chucks to avoid deforming of the work-
pieces.
Chucks
Chucks are screwed onto the measuring table using the threaded
(M12) holes.
Metal, plastic, wood
Chucks are generally made of metallic materials. Chucks made of
plastic or wood may also be used if necessary.
Workpiece positioning
Position the workpiece so that all required measurements can be car-
ried out without changing the workpiece position.
