Measurement procedure
1.
Mount the fully assembled probe on the milling machine table such that the probe head is securely
located
2.
Install the inductive displacement transducer so that is 2mm from the probe (mid-range) as indicated
on the probe local readout. Route the analogue output from the probe to the Guardian data collection
node. Run Iscope on the local PC. All data recorded using peak hold averaging at 5kHz Fmax.
3.
At pre-defined probe immersions tap the probe gently to excite the natural frequency. At each probe
immersion realign the displacement probe and record an image of the frequency spectrum showing
excited frequencies.
4.
5.
Replace the seal and remove the bottom bush. Repeat step 3.

Table 1 shows the natural frequencies that were detected during the trial. Note that at 60mm and 50mm
immersion with the head fully assembled the results were inconclusive with secondary frequencies (shown
in the next column) also showing up. With the seal removed there were no distinct frequencies to show at
60mm and 40 mm immersion. With the bush removed all frequencies were quite distinct.

Conclusions
1.1. The top seal has the beneficial effect of reducing the effective length of the top of the probe as
well as acting as a dampener. With the top seal removed the low frequency response was much
increased in amplitude.
1.2. The bushing has the beneficial effect of effectively reducing the length of the probe. Without the
probe in place, the natural frequencies were much reduced in frequency but dramatically
increased in amplitude.
1.3. With the probe in fully built configuration there was very little response with immersions of
60mm and 50mm. A response was noted at 70mm. The response at 40mm immersion was slight.
1.4. Due to the effect of the probe top cantilever effect, the probe head should be restrained during
normal operation to avoid fatigue failure which may result from excessive vibration at natural
frequencies.
1.5. Even with the worst case scenario there was no response at or near the vortex shedding frequency
as calculated.
