RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] digitizer design and FAB

Peter -

I wish I knew what "Sollbruchstelle" means. If there's a crash,
then you should expect the probe to break off without damaging the
rest of the system. I don't think a "snap on" probe could be
easily made to be very stiff. I would just design in an extra
threaded coupling between the probe and the body (like a hex
standoff for electronics), with a "weakened" male thread going
into the body, and a means for spinning out the broken stud after
failure. This way, you would have to replace the coupling, which
should be cheaper than the body or the probe.

Hi Carlos
Perfect Design ! (had one of the lucky moments I could reach the
file area of egroups.) But a crash can always happen so You might
perhaps think of a "Sollbruchstelle"
(I don´t know the english word) So that an easy to replace part of
the stylus should break in case of that.

Peter
