Improper use
The CMM must not be used for purposes other than the proper use.
Examples for use contrary to the proper use:
– The machine axes must not be used to move objects.
– The z axis of the CMM must not be used to lift objects.
– The CMM must not be used to measure living objects or parts of
the body.
Probe system
The probe system is a hightech product which may only be used only
for its intended purpose.
Probing
CMM probe systems are designed to determine the coordinates of a
workpiece. This is usually achieved via a probing, during which the
workpiece is probed by a probe element (stylus tip). In some cases
optical measuring techniques are used.
Linear scales
The probe system comprises several components, such as the probe
head and linear scales. The linear scales are integrated in the machine
axes of the CMM and protected by covers. These covers must be
attached when the CMM is in operation to prevent it from being used
improperly.
Probe
The probe consists of several components: adapter plate, probe styli
and probe joints. A probe may be equipped with one or more styli.
The probe element is located at the end of the stylus.
Functions of the probe:
– The adapter plate holds and positions the probe exactly in the
probe head.
– Workpiece probing is carried out by the probe element.
Probe head
The probe head is inserted in the quill. The probe used for probing is
inserted below the probe head. Handle the probe head and probe
very carefully.
Functions of the probe head:
– Holding the probe.
– Exact positioning of the probe.
