Adding Probe Angles AFTER Calibration Sphere has been moved

Good morning everyone,

After searching the forum (seems using google to do it gets better results!), I can't find a clear answer to this question that has been asked many times Confused Rolling eyes :

After calibrating A0B0, and additional angles - If I move the sphere, but discover I need additional angles, I would recalibrate all previous angles, and the new angles.

However, I read people saying this is unnecessary - as long as I recalibrate A0B0, and select "Yes, the sphere has moved" (because it has!), and measure the NEW angles..

that the previously calibrated angles and the newly added angles will all related to each other.

Is this true? Is this explained in the help file? What is the source of your information?

Thank you for your time!

    As I saw in the other threads, it seems everyone has a strategy or opinion that differs a little. I guess the safest unquestionable thing to do is continue calibrating all probe angles, however, it may not be necessary in some circumstances.

    I do not work in a production environment, so probes configurations are changing daily, and new challenges require new angles! Slight smile Thank you all!




    Took me 9 probe tips to get 95% of the jobs done. Low to no production. Seriously, sit down and think about it you might realize it only takes a few and every now and then you might have to build a 'custom' non standard tip. The size of your CMM doesn't change.
