7 INSTALLATION OF MEASURING HEAD AND ACCESSORIES
7.1 Definition of mechanical parts
A. Measuring head
It detects the actual dimensions of the workpiece and converts them into electric signals which are sent
to the electronic unit through a connection cable.
B. Support
It is used to fasten the measuring head on the machine tool or on a carriage. It can be equipped with
horizontal and/or vertical adjustment for a correct positioning of the measuring head.
C. Carriage
It is used to bring the measuring head to measuring position.

ATTENTION
While installing the measuring head connection cable, which is usually subject to systematic
movements, make sure that the minimum bending radius of the cable is not lower than the
following: minimum bending radius = cable diameter x 15
B. Pneumatic retraction
Some types of measuring head can be provided with pneumatic retraction which is controlled through the
air supply plant of the machine tool.
7.2.2 Carriage
The carriage must be suitably controlled by the hydraulic or pneumatic system of the machine tool. The
function of the two fittings (forward or backward shift) is determined by experience.
