[Cl...] Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 We have a larger Contura G2 with an MSR mini rack and three, 3 socket holders. We need to add two more 3 socket holders for dedicate stylus systems (we need a separate set of styli to use on specific jobs to avoid contamination, current jobs are implants). What are my options? I know I can add a longer arm on the existing MSR, which will allow me to add another 3 socket bay, but beyond that, what can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Da...] Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I believe you can put in a second level , provided it is further out from the existing holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Cl...] Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Thanks Dave. Can I place a second rack in a different axis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ow...] Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I used to have a probe rack in the X axis at the back and one in the Y axis to the very right side on a larger accura 1 . So, yes , it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ro...] Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Get rid of all your short horizontal bars and replace them with longer bars, its really quite cheap (as compared to anything else in quality) you can buy a 36 inch piece of 40x40 T slot tubing for $23 + shipping. Or, since you're in GR there is almost definitely an Alro in your town, they should have the same stuff for even less. plus you'll have to go get it, so that should get you out of the shop for a solid hour lunch. https://www.alufabinc.com/product/40mm- ... extrusion/jkjhghfgfg.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Je...] Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Please sign in to view this quote. What Roberto said! That's my next move when I need another rack slot. Also, I cut the MSR rack down to gain extra measuring envelope. I pushed ours as far back as the machine would handle in the Y direction then cut the riser down so all initial rotations are done above the rack and don't need clearance anywhere else. No reason to have the probe rack 18" off the plate for a head that cant handle styli over 6" long other than styli change time. Measuring envelope is more important to me than the 1 second it adds to a stylus change.DSC02691.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
