Good Morning. I am fairly new to CMM programming so please don't mind me if I can't explain things properly. So one of our programs require that I use a 90° angled tip so when the tip is rotated at A0B0 my tip is taking points in X/Y direction. My issue is when I am calibrating, the entire probe changes orientation on PCDmis where the angled tip is now pointing down to Z-minus which messes up calibration either by crashing into the sphere or taking points too far from the sphere. I was able to calibrate this tip before on the same machine back in December, but it was due so that's why I am calibrating it now. I do not remember how I was able to calibrate it before but now I just can't seem to get it to work. I tried deleting and remaking the tip but still gives me the same issue. Please any help is greatly appreciated.
A bit confusing on how you present the problem but maybe try selecting Man+DCC (no it has not moved also) for all tips/rotations. Like this, each time it will request a manual probing on the sphere before calibrating. After a full successful calibration like this, you can go to DCC+DCC.
I apologize for the confusing explanation. I haven't calibrated yet since last week due to my production work being the priority but since the only thing I can think of I was doing wrong was at the beginning of each tip rotation calibration it asks me to take a point on the sphere and I have always taken the hit on top of the sphere. I will try to do it this way and hopefully it works. Thanks!
