– Clean the grooves and vacuum-clean possible contamination from
the boreholes.
Stylus tips
Stylus tips may be contaminated, e. g. by dust particles. Furthermore,
material rubbed off of the probed workpiece may accumulate on the
stylus tip, especially during scanning.
NOTE
The styli must be handled carefully. If force is applied, the glued bond
between the stylus tip and the stylus shaft may be dissolved and the sty-
lus shaft may bend or even break.
Do not apply any force when cleaning.
NOTE
If the styli are not being used, store them in a safe place, ideally in the
packaging intended for this purpose.
– Clean the stylus tips with a lint-free cloth.
– Use a cleaning agent if required.
Make sure that the stylus tip is free from cleaning agent residues.
If material from the workpiece settles on the stylus tip, it can be re-
moved with a suitable solvent.
Removing aluminum
deposits Aluminum deposits can be removed with a solvent. Make sure that the
solvents do not act too long since the glued bond between the stylus tip
and the stylus shaft may be affected. When cleaning, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles.
2. Immerse a cloth (e.g. cotton cloth) in a solvent and clean the stylus
tip with the cloth.
3. Then rinse the stylus tips immediately with water and dry them.
Reference sphere
The reference sphere must be clean and in perfect condition to ensure
correct qualification.
– Clean the reference sphere with a lint-free cloth.
– Use a cleaning agent if required.
Make sure that the reference sphere is free from cleaning agent
residues.
