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.
So in your probe window where you have the knuckle component(4/5way) did you double-click and put the proper tip rotation in, or did you leave it as if it were built @ 270º?
Did you intend to have the tip at 270 and when tightening it shifted?
