Cylinder Scanning Strategy Variation

I am scanning a cylinder using spiral scanning strategy and also comparing it to a concentric circle scan of the cylinder. Calculating the MAX inscribed circle value. I am measuring ID's from 2.5mm to 4.9mm. I am interrogating the surfaces in similar detail with the same dynamic parameters, and I am getting differences of up to 0.1mm which seems puzzlingly large. The concentric circle strategy is always smaller.
Any thoughts on what might be causing this? Thank you for your time.

  • Can you describe a lttle more ?
    Number of rounds for spiral, number of circles, height of cylinder, cylindricity, diameter and length of probe, using scan calibration.....


    21mm length, 20 scans concentric circle, Spiral scan 1.25 pitch so maybe 17 over same length, 1mm by 20mm with 20mm extension, 2.1mm to 4.89mm dia. same issue on 3 diameters, cylindricity of approx. 0.06mm. Scan calibration?
