RTP1 care and maintenance

The RTP1 probes are sensitive measuring devices and should be handled with care:

  • Avoid dropping the RTP1 probe or colliding with workpieces or parts of the CMM structure
  • Particular care should be given to probe end. Avoid contact with the end,
  • Visually examine the stylus tip for accumulation of dirt or dust
  • Ensure measurement surfaces are dry and clear of debris before being inspected with the RTP1 probe

If the probe is suspected of giving poor performance, or if it has been used on unclean surfaces:

  • Gently wipe the end with a lint free cloth dampened with clean alcohol to remove any debris
