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?

  • dear friends, some of you wrote 13 and some of you write 25 strokes. Where do our talk about? Can you share a flagged image?


    Using a prime number for things will force the software to take it's data and come to an absolute mathematical calculation instead of giving it the opportunity to round like it could with an even number. Due to this best practice, I qualify my master with 13 hits & my slave probes get 11 hits. In my programs, datums will get 7, 11, or 17 hits (depending on the geometry). Measured features will get 5, 7, or 11 hits (depending upon geometry).
  • Interesting, I use all TP20s and have never heard this before. Can you please expand upon this a little bit more? How does 6 hits eliminate the tri-lobing effect for smaller circles?
