2.6 Measuring the Plane Displacement
(Plane Scanning Measurement)
Measurethedisplacementvalue(maximum–minimum)ofaatsurface.Byscanningthesurfaceofthe
workpiece with the stylus, the highest (maximum) and lowest (minimum) points can be detected. The
displacementiscalculatedfromthedi󰀨erence(maximum–minimum).
This section explains the procedure to measure displacement A using the surface plate as the origin
(ABS measurement system).

Begin measuring.
1 Loosen the clamp knob.
2 Loosen the clamp screw.
3 Turn the probe unit up/down wheel, and slow-
ly bring the stylus into contact with the mea-
suring surface until there is a "beep" sound
(keep the stylus in contact with the surface).
