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.
Measuring the location of a sphere accurately needs 12 hits (old rule here : 3 times the number of point that define a feature (3 for a plane and a circle, 4 for a sphere...)
Calibrating a probe is the same than measuring a sphere, except that the sphere that you are measuring is the tip... So I would say that 5 by far not enough !
