How to Calibrate Probe using 2 Spheres

I am using a "T" calibration tool with one sphere towards the front and one towards the back. I need to calibrate A90B0 & A90B180. How do I go about doing this? Thanks for your help and I will attach a picture as soon as I can. Using PC-DMIS 2014.

  • Do I need to add the tool with 2 spheres? Whoever added the tool added as two separate tools instead of one tool.



    No, it's good as it it.


    Select master probe, then select sphere 1, teach its position with the master probe (i.e. Qualify T1A0B0 of master probe saying Yes, sphere has moved)
    Now select sphere 2 and repeat (i.e. Qualify T1A0B0 of master probe saying Yes, sphere has moved)


    Both sphere positions are now defined with the same tip so should relate correctly to one another.
