Datums are off inside programs (All out in same direction)

Hello all,

I seem to be running into a problem with my 2way and 4way checks inside my programs. All of a sudden 2 fixtures in a row are showing an offset on my 4way and 2way 0.5mm in the same direction.
For Example I pick up the tooling balls come back check 2 way and 4way and both fixtures show they are out 0.5 mm in same direction (Machine axis). Does this make any sense ? could it be a bent probe that could be causing this issue ? I'm not sure whats going on here. Disappointed

  • If you answer 'No' then you would not see any nominal/target changes from your original programmed code. But now the machine will measure your features in that shifted alignment. So, it virtually corrects for the 0.5mm you are seeing.
    Where you could have some dicey times are if you have alignments built throughout your program, some may need to be updated to reflect the shifted alignment while others may not.

    Use the code tags when pasting program information. (Post#12)
