Touch Probes
The touch probe is threaded into the end of the coolant
tube and is used during the cycle start operation. The probe
assembly consists of the following parts :
1. EL188F1 - Threaded Bushing (Left Hand Thread)
2. EL188F3 - 3/16 probe (for # 6 bar)
3. EL188F4 - 1/64 probe (for # 4 and # 5 bar)
4. A930H022 - Spring Pin (used with the 7/64 probe only)
The 7/64 dia. probe is recommended for use with # 4 and # 5
rebar while the 3/16 pin is for use with # 6 bars.
Touch Probe with 7/64 pin
To remove the touch probe assembly from the coolant tube,
slide the special tool (EL188R) over the end of the touch
probe and align the slots. Turn clock-wise (Left Hand Thread)
until the bushing falls free of the coolant tube and pull the
assembly out with the special tool.
Touch probes are normally replaced when the probe
becomes bent or broken. To assemble a touch probe follow
the instructions that follow. To reinstall, follow the same
procedure as removing. Just remember to tighten the probe
by turning the special tool counter-clockwise.
To assemble the touch probe, start the end of the probe into
the front of the threaded bushing (opposite the threaded
end). Place the tip of the probe on a hard surface and lightly
hammer the bushing down onto the pin until you feel the
bushing and pin lock into position.
