Hi guys
so i have this simple check program of a guage ring where i measure it with mastertip, align to it and then measure it with all the other tips in my rack.
so the other day i noticed all the tips following mastertip had a deviation of 0.01mm in Y.
so i thought maybe someone had crashed the tip and then i re calibrated all my tips.
I ran the check program again and the results were the same!
the roundness of the ring is a few microns, so no shaft hits
and the calibration results were good too, between 0.001 - 0.002 std
no the machine wasnt homed, and yes
we have a autocalibration program that goes thru all tips
YES to first master tip, and then no the rest of the tips
but !!!!!!
later we needed to add a new angle to our program, so i added the new angle, measured the sphere with master tip (yes the sphere as moved), and then calibrated the new angle with (no).
but that shouldnt affect the chain no?
Your master tip probe file is possibly corrupt. I had a similar issue, only using a sphere to check the XYZ deviation between each stylus. When I first proved the program, each tip was out 0.001" in X. I used another stylus as the master, then only the original master tip was out 0.001".
Deleted the suspect probe file, rebuilt / requalified and all has been good since. I believe it was people qualifying tips and selecting NO when asked if the sphere had moved, that caused the probe file to become corrupted.
no, that's NOT how it is supposed to work. if you move the ball, you are only supposed to have to re-locate it with the master tip, all others are supposed to still relate to the master tip.
