Spirol® pins (see page 9)
The T bolt provides adequate clamping for all
normal circumstances. However two Spirol®
pins (supplied in the probe kit) may be fitted
on installations where there is a requirement
to remove and remount the TS27R. To fit the
Spirol® pins, drill two holes in the machine table
to correspond with two of the probe base holes.
Place the Spirol® pins in the holes and refit the
probe base.
