my small tip =(

hello all
my small tip (0.5mm) always measures stuff bigger than it really is. (about .006-0.1mm) even tho i just calibrated it.
it calibration results it get good std, but the the diameter always measures to 0.480 mm.
anyone has any tips & tricks for my small tip? Disappointed

  • Different ruby sizes & styli lengths than advertised its a normal thing. Machine ought to calibrate & calculate how much to compensate. Like others have said check probing parameters, sphere size & touch speeds. Cal touch speeds have to be the same as with program touch speeds to start. Moreover, Hexagon level 2 training manual's got touch speeds for different probe sizes & probe heads under Autocalibration section. I use very low touch speed in calibration & programming to prevent styli bending. I also calibrate with more points than minimum on the sphere.
