Section 10 – Probes and Probe Stracks
Mounting The Stack
A probe-horn assembly or probe-booster-horn as-
sembly (stack) can be mounted into a customer-
provided machine to ensure stability and proper
alignment during operation or for automated op-
eration. A stack is secured in a machine by clamp-
ing the probe (and booster, when present) at des-
ignated locations. Clamping at these designated
locations provides stability to the stack and at the
same time does not interfere with the transmis-
sion of ultrasonic vibrations of the stack compo-
nents. The following rules apply when mounting
a probe system stack.
1. A probe may be clamped anywhere along its
body (except the 41S30). If it has a side
mounted BNC, then it may require a thin
mounting ring if it is to be clamped near the
top. It may also be clamped below the BNC
connector.
2. Secure a probe-horn stack by clamping the
probe in two places.
3. Secure a probe-booster-horn stack by
clamping the probe in one place and the
booster in one place.
4. Never clamp the horn.
NOTE
Never hold a probe by the housing or booster
by the mounting rings when tightening or loos-
ening from an adjoining component (see Figures
10–6 and 10–7 to identify these parts). Always
use the proper spanner wrenches when tight-
ening or loosening the horn or booster.
