2.0 Mounting and dismounting of the probe The interface on the epsilon and phi axis allows the mechanical and electrical connections between the arm and the probes. The interface allows a fast and repeatable mounting of the probes. During the mounting-demounting of the probes, the arm must be in the rest position and the magnetic brake (if present) must be active. For the mounting or demounting of the probes aren’t required keys or special tools.

2.0.1 Mounting of the probe

• Verify that the surfaces of the spheres, cylinders and magnets are clean and without impurity.

• Verify the correct alignment between the two red marks and the seat on the electrical connector (1).

• Plug the probe (2).

• Screw-in the fastening ring nut (3).

• When the ring nut (3) starts to turn freely, this means that the probe is correctly assembled.

2.0.2 Dismounting of the probe

• Push up the ring nut (1) and unscrew it.

• Locking the delta axis (d) continue to unscrew

the ring nut. When the ring nut starts to turn freely, this means that the probe can be removed.

• Pull the probe (2). Important: during the mounting – demounting don’t rotate the probe to avoid damage to the mechanical interface or the electrical connector. During the mounting-demounting phases maintain the probe in a horizontal position.

Important advise Before connect the probe, please make sure that the surfaces of the spheres, cylinders and magnets are clean and without impurity. If needed use a soft cloth to clean the surfaces. Please pay attention to don’t place the probe on dirty surface or near magnetics impurity. After the use, or if the probe isn’t used, replace the probe inside its box.

If the mounting surfaces are dirty, the repeatability of the probe mounting system could be lost.

2.1 Control buttons The arm has the control buttons on the delta axis (d), or on the handgrip (7 axes arm). The function of the buttons may change depending the measuring software that it is utilized. The red low profile button commands the electromagnetic brake (2.2). 2.2 Electromagnetic brake (if present) and rest position The electromagnetic brake is a device that can be applied to the rotation of beta axis (b) of the measuring arm. It is activated/deactivated by a red low profile button (2.1), and locks the second axis of the arm in any required position. If the red LED is bright, the brake is on. The brake is very useful when the arm is used in situations where repetitive movements could be tiring, and where the risk of accidental contact can be avoided by reducing the freedom of movement in one axis. The brake is activated automatically if the rate of movement of the arm is excessive. When the measuring arm is not moved or is repositioned in the rest position, after a few seconds the brake is automatically applied. The brake is also automatically applied when the power supply is disconnected.


Pagina 17 di 19

Attention: release the brake when the beta axis (b) must be rotated.

Do not rely on the brake to stop the arm falling. Any damage resulting from such an event will not be covered by the manufacturer's warranty. The brake is not effective at all angles, and is only designed to slow the rotation of Joint 2. Always release the brake before moving the arm from / to the home position. When the measuring arm is not used, please position it in the rest position. 2.3 Troubleshooting Power led fails to light 1 Verify the cable connection of the power supply to the

arm and the electrical network. 2 Verify that the cable are connect to the measuring arm.

The arm is not connected to the notebook – the communications led fails to light

1 Check for proper connection of data cable 2 Verify that the USB data communication occurs on the COM1 port.

Software problem – third party software errors

1 Please refer the user manual supplied with the software.

The points aren’t acquired 1 Check that the probe is correctly fixed on the arm.

2 Check the function “semaphore”. In some software this function disable the points acquirements in the extra stroke of the axes beta, gamma and epsilon (b,g,e).

Measure errors 1 Check that the arm and the pipe are in stable

position. 2 Ensure the connection between the probe and the

arm

3 If necessary recalibrate the probe.

The machine don’t reset the axes 1 remove and reconnect the power to the machine
