centers of same feature from 2 different probes - don't match

seppley
About to put in a tech support ticket, but they are slow so.... it is a race to see if you can fix this first.

2mmx30mm probe measure outside cylinder. Then measure the same cylinder with a 4mmX40mm probe. The measured diameters are exactly the same.. but the measured centers are 0.006" different in X and 0.006" different in Y.

this is so not cool, i don't know how long this has been going on or what is causing it. I thought that it was my calibration, so i recalibrated and said "Yes tool has moved" and manually "found" the cal tool just to be on the safe side.... still the same results.

HELP!

  • there is another thing that I noticed, but I think it all depends on your machine and probing system. I was tough that if I want to add new probes or if I simply want to calibrate one or two tips, all I have to do is take my master probe calibrate it at A0B0, tell it "yes" the sphere has been moved, then calibrate all other tips at A0B0 then ADD new Angles and voila, all of my tips are correlated to each other.

    But I am finding that this does not work with my set-up. I think it's a probing issue. Any one has noticed that?
