embodiment of the present disclosure does not require a hall effect probe any probe which is sensitive to or which can detect the magnetic field produced by the magnet 26 90 may be used in the present disclosure one alternative probe is a three axis magnetic sensor hybrid hmc2003 produced by solid state electronics center a division of honeywell the other portions of the magnetic indexer 10 are reproduced while simply replacing the hall effect probe 18 with the alternative probe if the alternative probe such as the hmc2003 is able to determine a magnetic axis in more than one relative axis then only one probe may be necessary on the magnetic indexer 10 it is still understood however that the single alternative probe still defines a central probe axis for determining the magnetic axis 26 a 90 a the alternative probe is still able to detect the field produced by the magnet 26 90 and is able to indicate the magnetic axis 26 a 90 a it will also be understood that the magnet used in the present disclosure must have their magnetic axis 26 a 90 a properly and precisely aligned therefore it may be desirable to first test the magnet 26 90.
