POSITIONING OF THE SENSOR HEAD
The correct position and orientation of the sensor head on the part surface is essential to
ensure an accurate reading is taken.
6.1
Correct Sensor Head Position & Orientation.
When measuring flat parts ensure that the sensor head is perpendicular to the surface.
When measuring external radius, it is important to ensure that the sensor head is
perpendicular to the surface of the part being measured.
Incorrect Sensor Head Orientation:
a non-perpendicular orientation will result in an
erroneous measurement.
An internal radius will return a value for which compensation must be made.
Thickness displayed on the
meter will be the thickness
of the measured part.
Thickness displayed on the
meter will be the thickness of
the measured part.
Thickness displayed on the meter will
be the thickness of the measured
part plus the gap between the sensor
head and the part.
