Disc calibration issue

Just started yesterday. When I try to calibrate my disc (A-5000-7310) the machine will take a hit on the bottom of the disc then it will take 3 more hits on the bottom of the disc towards the edge of the disc, then it measures the outside of the disc.

Any ideas???

  • Ive seen this solution posted from someone in the forum before. I dont recall the thread but here is the example they gave and it has helped me with calibrating disc probes

    " How to find start / End Angle on Disc Probe Calibration


    you can use this calculation to figure out your start-end angle.


    example:

    18mm disc dia x 2mm thick
    Calibrate using only 70% of the disk thickness (out of square comp.)

    2mm x .70 = 1.4mm

    half of 70% thickness
    1.4mm / 2 = .7mm
    Half probe dia.
    18mm/2=9mm
    Calculate the angle from horizontal center line to half disk thickness

    SineA= .7/9
    A=4.4º

    Start angle -4.4º
    End angle 4.4º


    Remember to put to DCC only for measurement "
