Qualification Sphere Standard settings

Is there a standard setup for calibrating tips on a qual sphere? Number of hits? Prehit/retract? Move speed? Touch speed? Levels? Number of shank hits? start/end angles? etc...

Or is it all about preference? Min of 5 on 2 levels?

Also is there a way to add avoidance in a certain axis during calibration? I have a 10mm star probe and when measuring T5 at a90b180 the Tp20 is hitting the 1 inch shpere while trying to come around the back side of the sphere. So if I could drop it in the Z before it makes that move, I could get to the last hit without it crashing.

Any help is appreciated!

  • Settings depend on your machine and tolerance for the product you will be measuring. For avoidance in the calibration cycle: Probe Utilities>Setup: Clearance Distance. <-These settings apply to all probes once set.
    There is a lot of useful information in this forum for ways to determine optimal calibration settings, most of which will need to be tested out with your own equipment.
    The Clearance Distance settings should be the 'fix' for the crash you are seeing.
