[Da...] Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 We are looking at inspecting some very strongly magnetic parts on our micura with a Vast XT head. I've already designed some aluminum fixtures so we can position the parts for inspecting. We have Carbon probe tips and extensions to get further away from the part. (the carbide in zeiss probes is drawn to the magnet quite well!) Now I am worried about the head. Can I damage it with too high of a magnetic field passing through or near it?

[Je...] Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 You are not likely to damage it but you can affect your measurement if you exceed the gauss rating of the sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Je...] Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Please sign in to view this quote. I have to issue some correction to my previous statement. Damage CAN occur. See following for details. I do not have a written spec handy but one of our subject matter experts relayed the following information based on your inquiry. Use a scale/ruler and a teslameter to determine distance from workpiece to achieve < 20mT (Distance1) and < 1mT (Distance2). Do not ever navigate the sensor within less than "Distance1" to the workpiece or damage may occur. Keep probe length sufficient to keep sensor outside "Distance2" to prevent sensor data collection influence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
