broke a tip , i feel so bad :(

I just wanted to relief my chest by saying what happened to me this morning , i cant stop blaming myself , we have 0.5 tip for led measurment i was creating an ittertaive program and had lot of parts to finish before leaving , so after running the code and hititng all the points , it comes the step where the cmm wante to verify each id , i validated the first hit then tried to move close to the next one but "manually" to "rush out" before validating (beacuse travel speed was slow) the joystick was at full speed and tried to approach the next hit point ,but boom i accelarted right into the part and tip broke , i wash shocked , its the only available , i still havent report this yet because its weekend , im having the worst day now ,

im that kinda of person who takes work so seriously that it affects my own mood if something went bad ,

i even think of purchasing it , can i order it as an individual ?

  • I've broke more than my share of tips. It's going to happen. You'll fat finger a move or the part isn't where you expected it to be. I have even managed to break off a PH9 indexing head by telling the machine to make a 10 inch clearance move instead of a 1 inch move and then running at full speed. Broken tips are just a cost of doing business. I've learned to keep a couple of spares. Seems like the only tips that get broke are the ones that there is no spare for.

  • Better if you tell him then he finds out on his own. May still be mad but you are more likely to be respected for being honest.
