At the beginning of each of my shifts, I calibrate my stylus to 0.001 mm. 80% of the time I only use it in position a0 b0. And when it shows 0.002 (or even 0.003) I start wiping everything in the world until it is 0.001. Sometimes it takes a long time. How do you solve this problem?
So, I have a yes/no question at the top of every program that asks them if they want to calibrate. If they say "yes", it executes autocal commands. "No" will skip over autocal and run the rest of the prg. Operators are instructed to calibrate every time they use the machine if they're first walking up to it, no exceptions.
This is quite extreme, but it has kept me out of trouble.
