Looking for opinions

The Hermit
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

  • Sounds like you have oodles of time in your shop! We run three shifts and barely get 5 minutes in between parts to calibrate. It's one of those new, highly advanced shops with never enough time to do things right, but always enough time to do them over.

    How many CMM machines do you have?

    "so just letting a crash slide isn't an option for me."

    It isn't an option for me either. I don't consider a tip falling off as a "crash" though. An inconvenience for sure, but one I can live with under the right circumstances, namely, parts with large tolerances. We have the same range in tolerances you do. If a tip drops off from a rotation, the tighter tolerance parts will get a recalibration without question.

    Maybe you missed my earlier question. Would you share your internal verification program?
