Determine actual value
Example:
Dimension from spacers to toothed head 24.7 mm
Sender plug-in depth - 24.0 mm
Difference 0.7 mm

The difference between the depth value and the sender plug-in depth must be 1 ±0.2 mm.
In this case, insert a spacer with a thickness of 0.1 mm to achieve the specified value.

4. Establishing the specified value: 1 ±O.2 mm
To achieve the specified value, spacers available in thicknesses of 0.1 mm and 0.4 mm from the spares department may be used.
