Probe fails calibration

Trying to calibrate a probe that is used on normal production program. It is a 6mm x 150mm probe using an extended force TP20 module. It keeps failing calibration. When I look at the results, for the A90B0 wrist angle, the StdDev is .0047 (which is probably not unusual for a probe that long). How can I open up that tolerance so that it passes calibration? I thought that it was something on the probe setup screen....

  • notice that the example shown uses 0.15mm (0.006") for allowable size error.

    I've been doing this for over 33 years. 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, and 6mm probes are the sizes I use. EVERY ONE of them has always calibrated a size of x.970 to x.985. Not as much as he used in his example, but ALWAYS under-size (TTP only!). What size are you getting for your calibration? Extended force module will probably give you much more under-size, as well as that length, then you might expect.​
