Probing oblique work-
piece surfaces
It is also possible to probe oblique surfaces perpendicular to the prob-
ing surface. This is done by means of the measuring software. The
workpiece coordinate system is aligned corresponding to the work-
piece surface ➤ Operating instructions for the measuring software.
Clamp the workpiece on the measuring table before probing. Other-
wise, the workpiece may be shifted by the probing. Correct measure-
ment is not possible if the workpiece is shifted.
Types of measurement
Overview
VAST probe system
Three types of workpiece measurements are possible with the VAST
probe system:
– Single point probing
– Multipoint measurement
– Scanning
Dimensions, positions
and form
Information can be obtained on the size and position. Furthermore,
the workpiece form can be determined by a combination of scanning
and special software.
Single point probing
Single point probing means that only one point is probed. Then the
probe moves away from the workpiece. This procedure must be
repeated if additional points are to be probed.
Self-centering probing, e.g. grooves, small bores, is a special single
point probing application.
Complete measurement Single point probing makes it possible to measure a workpiece com-
pletely. All dimensions of the workpiece are calculated by means of
the probed single points. No information can be obtained regarding
form. For this, scanning and a special software are required.
