using .2 and .3 probes for the first time

rke1229
Hey Guys im having a lot of trouble trying to measure with .2mm and .3mm probes. Iv turned down the touch speed to 2 im not scanning. im only measuring small circles with 5 to 8 hits. It seems like I have to recalibrate them 1 to 2 times a day.
I have a large cylinder with flat bottom holes in its OD wall. In the holes are ball bearing that are pressed it. I only have a small amount of land available to measure the hole. I can measure 1 to 3 parts then I will start to have alarms saying the probe became unseated or that it couldn't retract. Usually once I calibrate it will work ok. Sometimes Ill have to recalibrate with the master probe. As you can imagine this is eating up a lot of time. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it.

  • The changes I made to match the settings picture Kai sent did not help. I have to check another part for the afternoon and wont be working on the problem part tell tomorrow morning. I did some experimenting with the help of my fellow CMM programmer and it seems like the .2mm probe is off in the x only the z and y seem to be ok. It leads me to believe its calibration but i can think of anything I did wrong. When I come in im going to reset al the tips. I'm thinking of deleting and remaking the .2mm probe system just incase iv got a corrupt probe file.

    Its a new program but I have run several parts through it before this problem came up so I have a hard time thinking its the program. Any thoughts or ideas are certainly appreciated.
