Rotating Probe 6.481 3 Edition 09/00 The rotating probe is positioned close to the test specimens surface and rotates at high speed. In order to test the entire surface either the test piece can be moved past the rotating probe if the probe system is mounted stationary or the probe (which is mounted on a slide for instance) can be moved past the test surface if the test piece is fixed in test position.

Rotating Probe 6.481 5 Edition 09/00 Rotating Probe Controller For controlling the functions of the Rotating Probe a controller is necessary. There are two different versions available: Designation Type Number Order Number Application Rotating Probe Controller 6.481.01-1001 126 938 0 simple version with power switch, motor switch and control lights (power, motor, error); connecting socket for synchronization-cable (rot. sync.) to the test electronics Rotating Probe Controller 6.481.01-1011 145 999 6 extended version with additional connecting socket for control cable to transmit the following...

6 Rotating Probe 6.481 Edition 09/00 Possible Combinations for Connection The following combinations to connect a Rotating Probe are possible. STATOGRAPH ECM Line Driver Cable Adaptation Application no no very short distance (at maximum 1 m) between Rotating Probe and test electronics no yes the normal case; distance between Rotating Probe and Cable Adaptation at maximum 1 m; distance between Cable Adaptation and test electronics up to 100 m yes yes exceptional case; necessary only if limited space does not allow to mount the Cable Adaptation close to the Rotating Probe It is not possible to...

Rotating Probe 6.481 7 Edition 09/00 Synchronization Cable When using the simple version of Rotating Probe Controller 6.481.01-1001 in connection with the STATOGRAPH S/CS the Synchronization Cable 6.421.01-9903 is mandatory to connect the Adapter 6.420.26-9712 or 6.420.21-9718. Control Cable M When using the extended version of Rotating Probe Controllers 6.481.01-1011 in connection with the STATOGRAPH S/CS the Control Cable M 6.410.01-9916 serves to transmit the extended functions (Rot.Sync., masking, error condition, motor on/off); in this case the Synchronization Cable 6.421.01- 9903 is not...
