Calibrating Multiple Tips

I have calibrated multiple tip angles to work together with the calibration sphere in the same position for all the tips. There is one tip angle (A90B180) that is out .005" in the Y axis from all the other tips. I've tried recalibrating them several times but I still get the same results. Does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks!

  • I don't think I can link to is as such - it's on our internal system.

    However AFAIK my description of the issue is valid, as is the workaround (calibrate Master probe-tip on it's own so PC-Dmis knows where the reference sphere is) then it can do the collision detection and generate the correct offsets.

    A lot of people don't see this issue as this is the workflow they employ anyway.



    All of our parameter sets have collision detection on. We use collision detection because we have a 7-10-7 and there is a risk of the probes striking the leg during angle rotation while calibrating. Probes have been broken in the past due to the styli striking the leg and this is why we now have it defaulted to on. Do we need to run the master probe every time we calibrate to avoid any issues?
