We bought a used Sheffield D28 that has a Tesastar-M probe head. We mostly use star probes, so dont really need a rotating head. And I've heard that this model head can be a problem... thinking of switching to a PH6 or at least getting a used one to have as a backup if the Tesastar conks out. But I dont know whats involved in swapping out different probe heads... Any info about this would be appreciated.
Sounds like it was abused.
I talked to our Service Manager, replacing it with a Renishaw wrist is a complex undertaking. Your call...
Just curious as to how you are calibrating that L-probe with it pointing at Z+? Where is the shank of the sphere?
You have to create a new tool definition: a version of your qual sphere with a horizontal vector, then mount the sphere horizontally to match. Then locate it with your master probe by saying "Yes Moved DCC hit", then calibrate the up-facing tip angle of the L-star by saying "No not moved."
two questions - can you define how long a long extension bar is, and does the line about long extension bars apply to the SM-80?
200mm bars kill wrists of all brands, over time.
Some wrists last longer than others. Tesa models usually don't fare well for longevity under load.

Josh Carpenter Josh, whats involved in 'resetting the parameters' of a tesastar-m (as
UKCMM mentioned0? Is it something that's done on the -e control box or on the head itself? any help would be appreciated.
