I have a problem with the "SP600" probe head.
The diameters are, regardless of whether they are scanned or with an auto-element circle, it is always exactly 0.010mm smaller than it should.
Tested on a purchased ring with a certificate
Calibration says 1my standard deviation.
Maintenance says everything is ok.
Temperature compensation is off, but the room temperature is 20.5 ° C
Is it possible that the calibration is set incorrectly?
or is it a hardware error?
The lower matrix just define the orientation of the head from cmm axes.
A "static head" (or measuring head) is a kind of cmm, with 3 deformable parallelograms perp between them (this def is wrong for a SP25 !)
When the ball touches the part, the parallelograms are deformed, so the cmm moves in a direction that equilibrates them.
The orientation of parallelograms is measured while the lower matrix calibration.
So this calibration is done only with A0B0...
Take a look at this old doc, it's really interesting about parameters and matrix...
