Special Features Of Vast Probe System; Setting The Measuring Force - Zeiss CenterMax Operating Instructions Manual

NOTE
Why does the measur-
ing force have to be
set?
Questions regarding the prevention of measuring
errors
– Has the reference point travel been carried out?
– Has the reference measurement been carried out?
– Has the calibration been carried out correctly?
– Has tensor calibration for the VAST probe system
been carried out?
– Have all probe styli been calibrated?
– Has the correct probe stylus been selected?
– Has the same axis clamping as for calibration been
selected?
– Has the same measuring force as for calibration been
selected? – Only for VAST probe system.
– Has temperature compensation been carried out?
If you answered all of the above questions with "yes", measuring
errors can be excluded to a large extent.

Special features of VAST probe system

Setting the measuring force

The measuring force has to be set for measuring probe systems such
as VAST. The value of the measuring force must be entered in the
➤
measuring software
ware.
The measuring force must be set prior to calibrating the probe. Set
the measuring force for each probe individually if required.
During probing, the probe element causes changes of the workpiece
form. The extent of these form changes influences the precision of
the calculated values. In order to avoid falsified measuring data, the
measuring force should be adapted to the characteristics of the work-
piece material.
