Measuring the Height
There are 2 types of height measurement: one where the ball of the probe is brought into contact with
the top position of the workpiece for the top surface measurement, and one where the ball is brought
into contact with the lower position for the bottom surface measurement. As an example, the proce-
dure for measuring top surface height A (85 mm) and bottom surface height B (115 mm), shown be-
low, using the surface plate as the ABS reference is explained.
