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

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!
  • That bull excrement - for now each tip must be qualified individualy, I believe (but don't quote me on this) that it's in the pipe line to be able to qual several tips at specific angles and it will calculate the rest.


    +1, each tip must be qualified with PC-DMIS.

    What NinjaBadger speaks of is already commercially available via the Renishaw Revo or certain kinds of Zeiss scanning probes but not from Hexagon. Yet.
    Perhaps someday we'll bring some equivalent tech to market. Perhaps... something even better.
