Master Probe

Scott Brown
Good Afternoon

I have read a number of posts regarding probe calibration and using a Master probe to relate multiple probes. I have a few questions that I did not find the answers in the posts.
Question #1 - If you are using the Master probe for measurement does it affect the relationship of the other probes if you re-calibrate A0/B0 of the Master Probe after answering "N0" to the calibration sphere move. For example - Start of shift the Master probe is calibrated at A0 / B0 and you answer "Yes" the tooling sphere has moved. Now you open a program that uses the master probe for measurement. You want to perform a calibration on the angles that are used in the program. Perform a Marked Used which includes A0/B0. You answer "No" the tool has not moved and perform calibration. Is the relationship of the other probes and angles lost???

Question #2 - Is it necessary to calibrate Master Probe every time the machine is homed??

Thanks for your help

  • Hi, posting in an old thread but I'm trying to find the info, still very new.

    If I moved the calibration sphere, and then calibrated a new tip (NOT the master). What would be the process of correcting this?

    Thanks,

    If you've answered YES to "has sphere moved...yada, yada" the probe it had active when you answered YES is your new 'Master Probe'. Probably not what you want.
