Dispose batteries acc. to legal requirements.
CAUTION
Destruction of the measuring system
Be careful to correct position of gasket.
Keep battery space absolutely clean and dry.
Grease gasket surface of the cover slightly before insert.

Mounting and commissioning
16 by Blum-Novotest 2012
1. Clean probe carefully and remove battery cover
2. Remove batteries
3. Clean and dry battery case carefully with absorptive paper
4. Insert new batteries – take care of polarity!
5. Install battery cover straight (check O-Ring and grease if necessary)
6. Automatic display of the basic adjustments (chap. 3.6)

3.2 Mounting of the tool holder
CAUTION
Destruction of the measuring system
The probe is not allowed to be twisted for mounting of the tool holder.
Holding screw (A) must be aligned with the centering screws.

If the measuring system is in the working area we recommend visual contact to the
receiver.
1. Insert probe into tool holder (System BTH 50 resp. BTH 25)
2. Tighten screw (A) slightly only
3. Mount stylus (see chap. 3.4)

Adjustment of the run-out at TC61 with optical presetter!
4. Insert probe into spindle (TC60 / TC62 / TC63 / TC64 only)
5. Turn probe by 360°
6. Observe display of run-out – stylus is not allowed to be deflected.
7. Adjust concentricity (4 internal hexagon screws 2 mm)
e.g. X-direction (fig. 3.4):
Release centering screws (1) and (3) slightly only.
Alignment by reciprocal release and tightening of centering screws (2) and (4).
Y-direction (fig. 3.5):
Release centering screws (2) and (4) slightly only.
Alignment by reciprocal release and tightening of centering screws (1) and (3).
Run-Out TC60 / TC62 / TC63 / TC64: < 10 µm
Run-Out TC61: < 100 µm
8. Tighten holding screw (A)
Concentricity adjustment is fixed now.
9. Check concentricity.
10. Carry out calibration cycle

3.4 Mounting of the stylus
CAUTION
Damage of the measuring mechanism
•TC60: When mounting the stylus into the probe, it is absolutely
necessary to lock the probe with the mounting tool (B) to avoid
torsion of the measuring mechanism.
•TC63-30 / TC76:
When mounting the stylus into the probe, it is absolutely necessary
to use the interlocking disk (A) (backlash-free).
Pls. take care of the orientation of the interlocking disk (A)
(shark360° = top)
•Remove interlocking disk before measurement
•Calibrate probe after mounting of stylus!
•Damaged styli are not reusable!
