Custom Probe Calibration

I have a custom probe that is a chisel tipped stylus from a contour tracer configured to be mountable on a scanning probe head. My question is how can I go about trying to qualify this tip. I am sure I may have to make some manual entry adjustments. I am intending to only trace with it in 2D so radius comp and X,Y,Z offset is what I am looking for if I can get it. Any thoughts on how I might go about this would be appreciated.

  • Well, if it's off a contour tracer, it's a radius. After describing in the custom probe builder utility, can you just change calibration mode to user defined and put the start angle at 30 degrees or so? Not sure if PC-DMIS can accept a tip diameter that small, but there's only one way to find out...
