5 Doing a measurement

The result of the grinding process depends on the following factors:
• grinding paste
• number of revolutions
• grinding period
• diameter of the ball
• normal force exerted by the ball
The weight of the ball will be taken up by the shaft and the sample. The greater the distance
between sample and shaft, the greater is the normal force on the sample.
Clamp the sample carefully into the sample holder. Adjust the sample and place the (clean!)
ball. Then put a small amount of the grinding paste on the top of the ball. See that the paste
does not slide down to the traction rings on the driveshaft.
Select the desired program or set the measuring parameter.
Start the grinding procedure. The grinding period will be counted down to zero. Neither the
ball nor the driveshaft may be touched during the grinding process.
When the grinding process is complete, remove and clean the ball. The diameter of the
spherical cap can be measured after cleaning the sample.
