23. Motion of Steel Vs. Magnetic Target Balls
Steel balls roll
Magnetic balls slide
and spin on their pole
Rolling movement
less drag
Sliding movement
more drag
Note: Magnetic balls have a higher potential to scratch and compress materials
typically only use magnetic balls on thicker none compressible materials
above 0.500 in. or 12.7 mm

24. Target Offset (Orientation, Gravity, Surface Roughness)
Accuracy Factors:
•Thickness range
• Accuracy decreases with range
• Significant over 0.500 in. (12.7 mm)
• Offset increases with range
•Probe Position
• Use Q-CAL to compensate when probe
orientation significantly changes.
•If you calibrate vertically and the probe will
be used horizontally then after Calibration
,Q-Cal when probe is horizontal
•Surface Conditions
• Rougher surface produces more drag and
more offset

25. Min Capture
• To minimize measurement error on thicker materials
– Always use MIN capture mode
– Scan probe in all direction around measurement point
– Scanning will allow the target to pass through probe center capturing the minimum
and true thickness
• Hold target ball at a measurement point and scan probe on other side and
capture min thickness

26. Wire Target
• New Wire Target can be inserted into holes for;
– Gun drilling application
– Turbine blade cooling holes (non-turbulated)
– Thickness range up to 0.240 in (6.1mm)
– Can not measure within 1.00 in. (25.4mm) of end of wire

27. New Wire Cal Fixtures
Wire on/Cal Fixture
• Centers wire and hold wire during wire on calibration
• Hold wire centered over calibration Shims

28. Caution Using Wire Targets
• Wire may not lay flat against the inside diameter of a hole due to:
– Surface roughness
– Machined turbulated cooling holes in turbine blades
– Bent or kinked wire targets
• Wire Target could be used to measure the wall thickness and the height of the
turbulator in turbine blades

29. Caution Using Wire Targets

end of the wire.

30. Target Disk and Automotive Tear Seams
• Target Disk rolls in thin tear seams
• Two different target disks
– 80TD1 0.50 in (12.7 mm) flat disk
– 80TD2 0.250 in (6.3 mm) V-Edge disk
• Can be used with or with the
standard wear tip or the chisel wear
tip
• Other application measuring wall
thickness in thin channels

31. New Disk Calibration Fixtures
•New caps hold the disk In the proper position when calibrating.
•New 86ACC-D-KIT comes with both disks types and new calibration fixtures
Two slots

34. 8600 Automatically Save Calibration Files
The 8600 Magna-Mike stores the last calibration file for each of the target
balls, disks or wire type. Each time a new calibration is done the old stored
calibration file is replaced. The user can recall any of the stored calibration
files and easily change between different target balls, disks or wire targets.

36. Programmable Instrument Lock with Password
The 8600 has more capability and features and some customers may be
concerned that their users may alter some important settings by accident.
The supervisor can set a password and choose what features the users
have access to. They can also lock features without using a password as
well.
