Tip Calibration Process

Hello all, could you please verify that I am calibrating my tips properly! I recently calibrated my machine and my results seem offset in one axis. (Calibration sphere comes off the table after every calibration)

I start by selecting A0B0 only ( Say Yes, Sphere has moved) Calibrate it by itself

Then I Select all tips (Including A0B0) and say No, Sphere has not moved)

The second time I calibrate my tip set should I be including A0B0? Also, Do you guys have a separate probe file called something like "Master probe" with just A0B0? or do you calibrate it within the tip set.

I haven't been on a machine in many years and I'm trying to remember the correct way to do this.

Thanks and my apologies if this is a re-post.

  • Thank you I read it over and have a bit more understanding now. Ive only ever used 1 Setup for my probe assembly (TP20+100+20+20x2) and rotated between 2mm and 3mm. From my understanding now this might be too many extensions to consider using as a master probe. I will make a separate file and just calibrate A0B0 on it (Yes man or dcc), then calibrate my tip sets (50 total) ( saying no )
    Also when i calibrate the master should i be checking off the box that says "Reset tips to theo at start of calibration" ?
    I really appreciate the help I was having a terrible day today trying to figure out why I was having issues.
