wrist calibrations

got 3 probes in this program

first two use the sphere in its normal straight up orientation. first probe is "yes DCC hits to locate tool". second is ""no".

so far so good... this i need to calibrate this monster... and a few more like it...




my questions are... "how will changing the sphere orientation to the horizontal position change the qualification?"
"how will selecting "Yes, manual hit to locate tool" influence the measurements"
"how on earth did i get here?!?!"

also, i cannot trust the machine to qualify these as a group because it tries to "go home" after each calibration by going straight up in Z...

  • I an only tell you the correct 'process' not how to implement it as I have no racks and do not change probes in a program. Both 'unique' tools MUST be located with the same 'master' probe (YES) and all other tips get 'NO' for calibration. Yeah, expensive, but maybe think about getting a second master then both can be setup at one time, then you can 'find' both with the master probe, then simply select the needed tool for all other tips. Pcdmis does have 'some' smarts built in for probe calibrations, can you put the tool on a 45 and get all the probe to calibrate at once?
  • no, the 45 wont do it. it will for a couple wrist angles for that tiny probe, but not all of them.

    also, we have spare reference spheres here... we could set up the fixture in the photo with dedicated spheres...
