CMM crashes on probe changer lids

Hello to you all,

I've recently installed the HR-MP 6 port probe changer on one of our CMMs. It was calibrated and successfully changed probes without issue. However, when I close the lids, instead of pushing the covers over when picking up a probe, it moves over slightly above the lid then crashes on top. I've tried playing with the (before and after pick-up distances) and (edit the probe data) to try and "force" the CMM to slide the lids over before picking up a probe. I would assume the probe changer should operate with the lids closed but for now I'm leaving them open. Is there anything I need to change to make this work with the lids closed?

  • So I tried taking a hit on the top of the rear support tab of the port, which is lower than the divider the door closes against, and it's still not working Confused


    Tape the doors open and see if they actually drop and pickup the probes, if not you either have the wrong probe rack chosen or your not calibrating it correctly, or your rack isn't parallel to the machine.
