Abbe principle
HEIDENHAIN length gauges enable you
to work according to the Abbe measuring
principle: The measured object and scale
must be in alignment to avoid additional
measuring error.
Fastening
The CT 6000, MT 60 and MT 101 length
gauges are fastened by two screws onto a
plane surface. This ensures a mechanically
stable installation of even these large
length gauges. Special holders are available
for fastening the MT 60 and MT 101 to the
MS 100 gauge stand for the HEIDENHAIN-
METRO (see Accessories).
The CT 2500 is mounted by its standard
clamping shank with 16h8 diameter. A
holder is available for fastening the
HEIDENHAIN-CERTO to the gauge stand
(see Accessories).
The AT, ST, MT 1200 and MT 2500 length
gauges feature a standard clamping shank
with 8h6 diameter. These HEIDENHAIN
length gauges can therefore easily be used
with existing measuring fixtures and
stands.
As an accessory, HEIDENHAIN offers a
special clamping sleeve and screw. It
facilitates fastening the length gauge
securely without overstressing the
clamping shank.

Operating attitude for HEIDENHAIN-
CERTO
The HEIDENHAIN-CERTO can be operated
at any attitude. However, the mounting
position with horizontal length gauge and
upward facing mounting surface should be
avoided because in such a case no
guarantee can be made for accuracy.
