2 different size qualification spheres and 3 different tip sizes in one program.

I am running 2021.2. I have a program that uses 3 different tip sizes (2mmx50mm,1mmx50mm and 0.5mmx10mm) and 2 different size qualification spheres (1" sphere for the 1 and 2mm tips and 8mm sphere for 0.5mm tip). I am having issues with false measurements due to i think the way I am calibrating the 0.5mm tip. I only use the 0.5mm for 4 circles with diameters of .043". My question is " how should i go about calibrating these tips correctly for this program. Thanks in advance.

  • I use my "service probe" as my master probe and have always used 1" as master ball. I then calibrate the 1 and 2mm tips using the 1" ball then have to swap to the 8mm ball on same base and calibrate 0.5 mm tip. I feel like this is the issue is when I have to change to 8mm ball. I have sent some pics to help. So would the best solution be to use the 8mm ball to calibrate all tip sizes?
