STYLUS ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION AND ALIGNMENT PROCEEDURES
Important:
Read the complete procedure before starting.
The DP-7 is factory adjusted for the stylus and stylus extension that are supplied with it.
Using other stylus components will probably require some adjustment. When assembling
stylus extensions do not twist or apply torque to the carbon fiber or ceramic composite
section. Use the supplied 0.035” hex wrenches to tighten the stylus assembly as explained
below.
Required Tools:
3/16” open end wrench
0.035” hex wrench (two of these)
0.001" or better Dial Indicator with Magnetic Base
0.500" Dedicated Tool Holder
STEP 1:
Thread the 0.25” ruby tip stylus into the carbon fiber stylus extension. Use the
supplied 035” hex wrenches to tighten the stylus assembly, insert a wrench through the hole
nearest to the joint to be tightened. See photos below. Never apply torque to the carbon fiber
section of the stylus extension assembly. Apply force with thumb and finger to the hex
wrench ends to tighten the threads. Do not bend the hex wrenches. If the hex wrenches are
bending too much force is being applied. Be careful not to drop or bend the stylus assembly.
It is very rigid and will be damaged by mechanical shock and stress.
STEP 2:
Install the DP-7 Probe into a dedicated 0.500" tool holder and into the machine
spindle.
