The proper care
Do you take good care of your hardware and software?
Do you expect your measuring systems to provide precise results? Of course you do. But don't forget that both your hardware and software require regular maintenance to ensure optimum performance. That is why we have prepared a "good morning routine" for you. This checklist will help you give your systems the care they need. Can't do it all on your own? Don't want to? We'll show you how we can assist you with our maintenance services.
Good morning routine
Develop a routine in the measuring lab by regularly repeating the following steps. This way your system will run smoothly, longer and consistently delivers accurate measurement results.
Check the room temperature
The temperature in the measuring lab is normally 20°C. Deviations of ± 2°C are normally ok.
Clean measuring machine and accessories
Cleaning the stylus tips, workpieces, guideways, and workpiece fixtures is extremely important.
Check the filters
Inspect the filters for discoloration and contamination, clean them on a regular basis and replace them when needed.
Qualify the sensor
Use the calibrated reference sphere to qualify the reference sensor. The other sensors are all qualified as per the reference sensor.
Get coffee
Time for a pick-me-up. Unfortunately, we can't help you with the quality of the coffee.
Don't forget to back up the data
All of a sudden, all your data is gone along with all your hard work – sound familiar? That's why you should always save your data.
Log the data
Record everything you've done so that you can repeat measurements under the same conditions in the future.
