be tested. DeFelsko recommends the use of the included putty to
remove dust, debris, or residual blast media from the surface. Firmly
press the putty onto the surface using your fingers, and remove.
NOTE:
Ensuring a clean surface is especially important when using
the PosiTector RTR 3D to measure 2D and 3D parameters (pg. 13)
or generating SDF files (pg. 12) for post processing.
2. Burnish the replica tape (create a replica)
Select the appropriate grade of replica tape based on the target pro-
file. See tape instructions for assistance.
Pull a single adhesive-backed replica tape free of its release paper.
A "bull's eye" circle of paper should remain on the release paper (it
is not used for measurement).
Apply replica tape to the surface. Press the adhe-
sive-backed ends of the tape to hold it firmly in
place during the burnishing process.
Firmly compress the foam using the rounded end of the included
stainless steel burnishing tool or acrylic burnishing ball. Apply
seconds to fully compress all parts of the foam on most surfaces.
After burnishing is complete, remove the replica tape from the
surface.
NOTE:
The acrylic burnishing ball is recommended when obtaining
2D/3D parameters or generating SDF files.
3. Prepare the Gage
NOTE:
It is important to clean the anvils and camera lens before
each measurement of 2D and 3D parameters or generating SDF files.
