What to expect on calibration?

Hi all,

searched around but didn't find much. Hex is coming to calibrate our machines in the next months. I haven't been involved in this before. I started CMM programming a year ago. What to expect? Should i remove all my fixtures from the surface plate? Is there anything i should do before they come? How long does it usually take to calibrate a machine? How long if it needs adjustments?

Thank you all

If you have a large surface plate on the granite, mark the corners before you remove it, especially if you have dedicated fixtures that go in a specific XY location. Otherwise you'll need to redo all your manual alignments. Those bolts have a lot of play in them.

I'll do that, thank you
