Global HTA Probe Crash Error

Hi, all. I am brand new to this forum and brand new to CMMs. I have been coming across an error with the Hexagon Global HTA where it detects a probe crash (running PC-DMIS and Blades) when there is no contact made with the part. I'm just curious if anyone else has come across this issue or if this is some known issue that has a fix for it. I'm unsure if this error is the result of excessive vibration (I don't believe it is but have been unable to reproduce the error while monitoring vibrations using Pulse) or if there is some software bug that is causing the error...or even if one of the optical probes is going bad.

I wish I had more information, but since I'm new to all of this, I just wanted to pick the brains of the forum users to see if there is any information out there. Thanks.

  • So just to update anyone interested, I'm a fool. These machines use Quindos, not PC-DMIS...oops. Hexagon came to look at the machine and there was a failed pressure electric switch, and the rotary table pressure was a little too high which was causing the rotary table bearing to vibrate during operation. He replaced the switch, turned down the pressure, and the machine ran fine all night, so it looks like it's good now. Thanks for your replies, though.
