SP25 calibration issue

Please note that this thread is not in the OFF TOPICS section, so only clever answers are welcome !!!

I greet you all, colleagues.
I have a small problem that tends to come and go when calibrating angles. I work with many styli and use a 9-slot magazine for this. Each stylus has about 10 different angle positions. When I did the calibration, two angles on different probes were out of tolerance. One probe has a CM25-2 probe and the other CM25-3. And at the same time, PSDMIS accepts the calibration result without asking the operator. The next day I did a similar calibration and the result was OK.And always out-of-tolerance angles equal to A90 or more than A90 It is very strange . I have been working in this mode for 3 years and there were no such problems. And this year it started. I check the probes visually and do the cleaning before each calibration the same way always. What could be the problem ?
  • That was me, getting tired of baby-sitting. You have a right to your perspective, and if it was the off-topic perhaps it would have been more tolerated, but I don't have time to deal with this here.
  • what are you trying to say to me don?
  • The situation repeats itself. It's time for scheduled calibration. I started the calibration, selected the master probe and indicated YES (the sphere changed the position to take a point manually) The calibration was successful, but when it came to the SP25M-2_L40_D1-D1 probe, the probe crashed into the top. That is, the machine with this probe sees the point of the center of the sphere in a different position. I don't have an understanding of what is happening.
  • I had to calibrate again each corner of the probe SP25M-2_L40_D1-D1 separately (using YES the sphere changed position)
  • The situation repeats itself. It's time for scheduled calibration. I started the calibration, selected the master probe and indicated YES (the sphere changed the position to take a point manually)


    That's the right way for the beginning !

    Then, you should load the SP25M-2_L40_D1-D1, and calibrate it manually, saying NO, the sphere didn't moved (use 5 hits, it's enough for a manual calibration and for this calibration only, select "reset to theo").
    Then, try a classical DCC calibration, always saying "NO, sphere didn't moved" and unselect reset to theo, to keep actual offsets).

    It's friday, have a nice weekend, all !

    Is your probe configuration correct? Possibly check again. Otherwise measure in Man+DCC and then again in DCC+DCC.
  • In general, I completely disassembled the probe. Then I assembled it from new elements. Then I manually calibrated by pressing "YES" the sphere changed its position for each corner and indicated a reset to theo. (But the sphere did not move) Then I started the calibration in automatic mode for all probes in the store, including for SP25M-2_L40_D1-D1. Only for the probe master I took a point on the sphere manually, for the other probes I indicated "NO" the sphere did not move. (reset on theo turned off) AND EUREKA !!!!! Calibration was successful for all probes and angles. 11 hours were spent on this work))))))))) It was the longest calibration))))))
  • I want to thank everyone who took part in solving my problem. Thank you all and have a great week! I wish everyone the most accurate calibrations of all :-)
