The probes used for contacting flat surfaces are those producing point contact. Such probes are
either ball, barrel or disk shaped (see standard and optional accessories).
In measuring mode 1, the measurements are taken exclusively by probing. All measurements must be
taken in the same direction.
In measuring mode 2, the measurements can involve one or two contacts and can be recorded with
or without inverting the probe direction.

Probes appropriate for contacting cylindrical surfaces are identical to those used for flat surfaces.
If the diameter of bores or shafts has to be determine in addition to their height, the two contacts
have to be made at the diametrically opposed culmination points.
To determine the culminating point, proceed as follows:
• Use the handwheel 8 to rapidly move the measuring head and the probe
• Use the knurled ring to bring the probe into contact – slightly off centre –
with the bore or shaft to be measured, but not right up to the switch point.
• Pause for a second or so.
• Move the measuring head forward by continuing to turn the knurled ring slowly
until an acoustic signal confirms the taking of the reading.
• After about 1 second, the probing force will be displayed graphically
on the control-panel display.
• Keep the probing force within the limits and manually move the part or the
TESA-Hite Magna 400 / 700 so that the probe passes through the culmination point.
Once the symbol or
appears on the display, the system will have automatically
detected the maximum or minimum point of the bore or shaft to be measured.
• The measuring head can now be withdrawn.
• Repeat the operation in the other direction to determine the diameter.
