Clean stylus systems in shop floor environment

Hello colleagues,

We have a number of DuraMax machines in operation in our production environment. Despite intensive extraction, there is always some oil in the air, which builds up on the stylus systems over time.

The carbon fibre extensions (ZEISS REACH CFX) are particularly affected. Some of them start to feel a bit sticky after just one year of use. Occasionally, there are problems with the contacts on the old XXT plates that do not yet have gold-plated contacts.

How do you clean your XXT plates and, in particular, the carbon fibre extensions?
We clean the probes with steel shafts and ruby balls using 99% alcohol. 

An automatic probe cleaning system would, of course, be a real hit in a shop floor environment. For example, every five times a probe system is used, the probe would first move to a cleaning station. Well, we can always dream 🙂
