Bumpy landings with probe docking station?

Bob_Loblaw
We have a Renishaw MCR20 probe rack that has developed a bit of a quirk: occasionally, one of the probe tips will have a rough landing while it's being placed back into the rack. The part doesn't fully slide into its home position, so there will be a rough takeoff the next time this tip is loaded. This is sporadic, so it's more of a nuisance rather than a real problem.

Any ideas what's causing this? Is there anything I can do to fix the issue?

  • Do you have a "master probe" defined? (check out the attachment)
    If not, when your CMM gets shut down and restarted, the "Home" location shifts a bit. When this happens, it will shift the location of everything on the machine by the same amount. Eventually you end up having to run a probe rack calibration. it's a very simple process that is embedded in PCDMIS, just follow the prompts.
    To calibrate your rack: Click Operation dropdown menu, then Calibrate/Edit, and finally "Probe Changer" follow prompts.
