Mitutoyo 902329 Probe

[FlyingHaggis]

Hi


Would anyone know the connection info for the 4 pin connector or better yet have a manual for the probe.


thanks

I think I have a similar probe, will check by the weekend. They work a bit differently if its the same as mine - one connector goes to the top shaft, one to the probe side. It closes this circuit when the probe is triggered.

Many thanks.

I only just recieved this one and looking forward to it being more consistent than my current cheapy solution.

[Chaz]

Cool. Out of interest, where did you get it? Ebay seller from Harrow by any chance?

[FlyingHaggis]

A closure auction of a small engineering company.

@chaz

any luck with checking your probe ?

[Nick952]

I've got one of those and a copy of the Operation Manual.

I'll scan the manual for you as soon as I get a chance this week.

Sorry, I had not.

Great that Nick can help. Ill check anyways and see which one I have.

Please share the manual Nick, I might have the same :-)

Thanks

@Nick

Many thanks - looking forward to reading it.

Ok, I've scanned and loaded the manual to my dropbox account.

Hope this helps.

Nick.

Got it.

Thank you - everything is so easy when you can see the cct diagram.

[FlyingHaggis]

Many thanks for the doc.
Indeed it's a continuity type so all is working.

The manual doesn't cover how to centre the probe.
I have about 0.07mm offset.

What's the method for correcting ?

[Nick952]

Page 6 suggests that there is no intended adjustment, but that does not mean that it's not possible (check for runout on the arbour first, just in case).
The adjustment if any, is probably internal and used during assembly.

Seems to use the workpiece and machine to complete an electric circuit on contact, so be aware that it won't work on plastics, wood etc. Should be decent quality though!

[FlyingHaggis]

It is indeed built very well, much more sturdy than my existing one.
Yes, it's only usable on conductive materials.

I'll have to check the run-out on the collet to find whats contributing to my error.

Just had time to have a close look at my probe.

The top plate (that has the arbour attached), is fixed to the main body by 3 screws.
With these 3 screws loosened off, just enough to allow movement, but not "rattling loose", the main body can be adjusted independently of the top plate and arbour, until the probe tip clocks true, then re tighten the screws.

[FlyingHaggis]

i saw the 3 screws
there is a set top and bottom
and the body seems to be 3 sections pancaked together

but mine seems to have got it self very much stuck together.
