KIRBSTER, this is what I made to hold the qualification artifact. We calibrate at the beginning of every program so the operators were taking in and out of the box it came in and I didn't want them to drop it so I made this box to hold the sphere and I taped it to the granite plate right next to the plate. I also took one of the smaller pillars and machined threads to the top to accept the qualification sphere. Now the qualification sphere has 1/4-20 threads that screw right into the center hole on the plate.
This is why I am so interested in the probe rack because I know I can make one and it would help with breaking probes. We have a lot of broken probes from when the operator switches from one styli to another.
Im sure it takes some time to get it correct. I would probably use round magnets too (because that's what I have). If I do end up trying this I will shoot you a message. I think it will be some time before I can get to it, we are slammed right now and I have no time for anything but programming and measuring.
Thanks for sharing that.
