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!

  • 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?

    {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","data-attachmentid":536657}


    This should be fine, the issue only happens when the master probe-tip is calibrated at the same time as other tip angles (of the master probe) - like literally selecting several angles at one time.

    From your parameter set names I see you're just doing A0B0 of the master probe on it's own, then doing other probes, so you should be fine.
