Small Probe diameter during calibration

Hi guys, due to the amount of vibration in the shop here we have to switch between analog and TTP. I have been using Analog up until today but then I switched over to TTP and I'm getting small probe diameters on calibration.

I am trying to calibrate a TP20 system and my probe diameter keeps measuring around 1.972 (2mm ball) I have adjusted the touch speed from 6mm/Sec all the way down to 2mm/Sec with no changes in probe diameter.

Do I need to go into the Probe force settings and start messing around ? and if I do this will it interfere with my Analog settings?

Thanks!

  • Make sure your cal sphere is defined with the diameter in alignment with the sticker that is on the sphere (generally the ones from B&S/Wilcox/Hexagon are 1" nominal, but end up being something like 0.98417" like the one i'm looking at right now).

    TP20 probe forces I'm sure are --and should be-- different than your analog settings.
    here's mine for TP200 and HP-S-X1h, for example
