Daily calibrations

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?

  • I calibrate before every part. We don't run production so every program has different tip angles.
  • You didn't answer my question, first of all....NASA ? Remember ? These microns mean nothing to 99% of the industries out there...figure out your uncertainty....add in the machine accuracy, repeatability, the ttp uncertainty....and then you will see the light and understand that worrying about 2 microns is like worrying how far off the earth of its normal axis.... Consider yourself enlightened....and condesended....BUT, if you think it is not a waste of time, have it at...but my 35 years of experience on a cmm in many industries, tells me its a waste of the company's money
