[Re...] Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 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. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/19000-vast-xxt-tl3-length/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Max horizontal length is; 65mm. Max weight is; 15 grams. If you must use it, use gage correction. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/19000-vast-xxt-tl3-length/#findComment-106964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ow...] Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 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.

[Re...] Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 I have the probe straight off of the T3 module but rotated 90 degrees with the RDS head. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/19000-vast-xxt-tl3-length/#findComment-106968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
