Change in actual position vs theoretical

msteffen99
Just had our machine calibrated on 12/6 and I ran an automated probe calibration program late last week. Started crashing on programs that have a tight target window prior to alignment and notice that we have quite a bit of variance between actual hit points versus theoretical targets. X is +.0081, Y is + .00285 and Z is -.0304.
The technician did comment that our calibration sphere was loose and that it was ok to super glue it back into place. I did that this morning and reran the probe calibration probe with no change, still crashing.

Machine Brown & Sharpe one running PCDMIS 2020 R1

any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

  • Technician helped with my issue. After our factory calibration, it's good to reset the tips, which you have to do within a program in the probe dialog box.
    Select all the tips and click reset. Select one and measure with selecting "yes tool has moved with manual hit". After that you do the same with the other tips but select "no and DCC".
    I have a stand alone calibration program that wasn't giving me the per tip position option, it just does them all at once.

    Thanks for all of the input!
