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.

  • I'm not sure you can do it, but maybe someone else here can help. Most of the tips you describe that I've seen have a fairly small radius (.003in) and is basically in one axis. It's not a spherical tip. Unless PC dmis allows to calibrate a tip using a cylindrical standard, I'm not sure how that would work.
    It's an interesting challenge though, so i might give it a shot.
