Registration + transmis-
sion
The probe head holds the adapter plate and the mounted probes.
Furthermore, the probe head registers the deflection of the adapter
plate and the probe during probing. A signal is sent to the computer
after each deflection.
Standard version of the probe system
The probe system is delivered with different components. The stan-
dard equipment comprises:
The probe system can be extended.
VAST probe system
Application
Universal The VAST probe system can be used universally. Measurements per-
formed with this system provide information on the dimensions,
position and form of a workpiece.
Special applications:
– In case of adverse ambient conditions: e.g. vibrations (floor vibra-
tions and sound).
– For measuring many measuring points – multipoint measurement,
scanning.
– If high accuracy is required.
– If long, heavy probes are used.
Special probes In addition to conventional probes, a temperature-sensing probe may
be used. The temperature-sensing probe is used to measure the work-
piece temperature.
