Two-Piece Nose Assembly

The two-piece nose assembly was designed to simplify the process of

inserting a probe through the use of an assembly fixture (Figure 41).

The nose assembly consists of a body, which inserts into the scanner,

and a flat, stainless steel disk which holds the cantilever. The disk is

held to the body magnetically and can be separated by holding the disk

at its edges and gently pulling it from the body.

Figure 41 Two-piece nose assembly, removal tool and assembly fixture.

The nose assembly disk is shown on the fixture; the body is shown to

its left.

Inserting the Body of the Two-Piece Nose Assembly

As with the one-piece nose assembly, the body of the two-piece

assembly is held in the scanner by an O-ring. To insert the body, first

place the scanner in the scanner mounting fixture (Figure 32 on

CAUTION

The retainer spring can snap back with enough force to damage the

probe, so be sure to release the spring slowly and gently.
