Place and hold the compensated probe in
the compensation cone or any conical
socket.
Start with the elbow of the Gage to one
side and press the FRONT button.
Slowly sweep the elbow so that it ends up
on the opposite side.
N
OTE: Measurements automatically
record as the elbow moves.
• In the dialog box, watch the status bar.
Sweep the elbow all the way to the
opposite side.
Slowly sweep the elbow back to the
starting side.
• In the dialog box, watch the status bar. Sweep the elbow all the way back to
the starting side.
The SPAT automatically completes once you have moved the Gage through the
entire range. The set of measurements from each sweep are compared for
repeatability. If the sets are not repeatable, you must repeat the test.
N
OTE: The Gage movement should feel fluid. Be careful not to stress the Gage
while taking these points or get too close to an end stop since stresses can be
amplified near end stops.
Note the deviations in X, Y, and Z. The (Max-Min)/2, or Single Point
repeatability value, of each coordinate should be lower than the S
INGLE POINT
value printed on the Gage.
Click the YES button to generate and save a detailed report of the test to a
comma-separated values text file (*.csv file), or the NO button to end the test.
