Inserting / removing the probe
Safety measures and information
The probe is held in place by an electromagnet or solenoid. If the
measuring software initiates insertion or change of the probe, the
magnetic force is reduced. The full magnetic force becomes effective
after 20 seconds.
The measuring software is required for inserting and changing a
probe.
• Please also read the corresponding chapters in the operating
instructions for the measuring software.
Important!
Probes must not be assembled on the probe head. The probe head
could be damaged.
• Insert only finished probes equipped with all necessary probe ele-
ments.
• Do not attach any probe elements to the probe as long as it is
inserted in the adapter plate receptacle.
Important!
A VAST probe automatically falls off of the adapter plate receptacle
after a specified period of time.
• Hold the probe immediately after activating change in order to
avoid damage to the probe, the workpiece or the measuring table.
The period after which the probe falls off is set in the measuring soft-
ware.
Inserting the probe
The procedure for inserting a probe is basically the same for all probe
systems. This procedure must be initiated by the measuring software.
