[SH...] Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Can I unlock the screw in the adaptor plate highlighted in the photo, purpose of unlocking is I want to straight the stylus that I fix in the cube in the first photo. The style is 24 degree inclind to the y-axis I can't straight it ,while tightening the cube it became inclind. is there is any other option to straighten the cube other than unlock screw?? Unlocking the screw is a legal method?, I tried it but it is very hard, I think they use locktight to tight it.IMG_20200304_224444.jpgIMG_20200304_223725.jpg Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/16360-adaptor-plate-screw-unlocking/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Are you talking about the 3 screws on the backside of the adapter plate? If so, yes, that is what those screws are for. I find the screws to be very tight sometimes but you can loosen them.

[Ow...] Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I've unlocked and rotated them for 15 years and never had any issues. Just have to be careful and not over tighten them. I believe there is a torque spec on how tight they're supposed to be but, I've never used spec other than "a bit more than finger tight".

[Ro...] Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Yes. It doesn't happen often but cubes do come loose. you can re-set them straight or at any angle you wish. At my last job we actually had a fixture that would key into the dowel pins on the top side of the base plate and a sliding 'Jig' would come in and set the cube straight. I cant find a picture of the fixture on google, but i know it was a Zeiss fixture. Update, i did find a picture of something similar, actually much better than the one we had. It clearly is built to leave access the 3 screws.fgdhfgdhfgh.JPG Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/16360-adaptor-plate-screw-unlocking/#findComment-90834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mi...] Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Loosen away. This is how we do it with the fix assist. Also note that you should (maybe) have a torque screwdriver that you torque up the 3 screws with. Mine came in a kit that was bought a few years back. Its preset to the 2Nm Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/16360-adaptor-plate-screw-unlocking/#findComment-90836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 You can loosen those screws to adjust your probe angle just fine. Again, I recommend probing a cylinder on the reference sphere to make sure you are at your desired angle (I do this even on my probes set to 0 degrees). Or, I see that you have rotary adapter attached to you your other probe. That will work too.

[Ma...] Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 You can loosen the screws and rotate your entire stylus configuration about Z or you can use a rotary adaptor to rotate all or a portion of your configuration.
