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 ?
  • As an addendum to my "If you ain't crashing you ain't trying" post....

    I've been trying VERY hard the past two days. TWO 0.5x20s, one while proving a program, the other fell off this morning as I was trying to fix the other one.

  • Don't feel bad, the guy before me broke a LSP-X-1H sensor for $9K!
  • A guy at my previous place of employment (before I worked there) did a full speed move (500mm/s) into an angle plate that was bolted to the granite. The impact tore the whole Z column off the machine. They ended up repairing and upgrading the machine but it was only a few K$ short of a whole new machine. How he kept his job, I don't know.

    Moral of all of these posts is that mistakes will happen and as long as you learn from your mistakes, they are good mistakes. None of us are perfect and never will be, we are all human. We can only strive to be the best we can and sometime breaking things is part of the education process.
