Horizontal CMM Experience? Looking for info...

Mystic_Muffin
Anyone have experience running a horizontal CMM?

We have a customer that's run one of our fixtures and it checked good here and at 3rd party, but they're getting a bunch of Z axis points out.

I know their machine hasn't been calibrated in 5 years, but are there any horizontal CMM quirks that cause sagging in the Z or anything? I know nothing about horizontal setups... The deviation is around .15 in the center and around .35 down the X.... again, only points primarily with a Z approach.

Thanks for the insight.... I'm confused :/

  • A conclusion to the story if anyone was interested:

    We sent the ball bar test and program and their machine was out from our numbers. They said our test was flawed, our owner said he had more faith in my abilities than their CMM guy. They grudgingly accepted our numbers and that's that.

    Thanks for the help and for making me look like I have any idea what I'm doing with life. <3
