Looking for opinions

I'm not currently at work, so I can't recall the exact model of my probe. I think I'm using the HSPX (?), with the large, magnetic base, maybe 1.75" diameter? I'm sure many, if not all of you have had this happen at least one time, if not many, many more. When you rotate, your probe catches the part, the fixture, or even the side column on the cmm and knocks the probe off. Here's my question. Do you automatically recalibrate, or do you kind of base it off the tolerance of whatever you're checking? I'm just curious how others approach this.

Thank you

  • So if you have, for example, 3 different probes and 8 angles, you'll verify all of them? Wouldn't that be as time consuming as just recalibrating? But beyond that, if your positions are 0.020" at MMC, would you be concerned with accuracy after a tip falls off? I'm talking about production parts, not necessarily PPAP's. Would you mind sharing your verification program?
