VAST XXT TL3 LENGTH

[[Re...]]

I would like to know how much risk I'm at exceeding the length limit for a stylus system on a VAST XXT TL3. The stylus system needed is a straight probe at 165mm in length to be used at a rotated horizontal position. The total weight of the system is at 13.2 grams. How much measuring accuracy am I losing and what damage risk do I have on the Module. I could purchase some carbon fiber extensions which would reduce the total weight to 8.9 grams. Would this weight difference significantly reduce my risk or am I DOA.

Max horizontal length is; 65mm. Max weight is; 15 grams.

If you must use it, use gage correction.

According to the documentation I have (it's a little old) the TL3 has a length limit of 150mm but, only allows 65mm Horizontal.

Weight limit is 15G so, I believe you're within limits there but, keep in mind that the weight consists of the probe and adapter plate.

Once you go to the side (horizontal) balance plays a big role in performance and you really should have equal weight to each side for a fixed sensor.

Accuracy and repeatability could most likely only be proven with trial & error.

I have the probe straight off of the T3 module but rotated 90 degrees with the RDS head.

Here is a picture of the setup.
