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.
I recalibrated, reset all the tips before doing so. Seems to be running OK. We are a small shop in a pretty rough building. We are moving soon to a bigger better building. Could temperature fluctuation be the problem? We do our best to control temp. but its certainly not perfect.

TCOE is really insignificant when you have smaller features.
Vibration: (forklifts, machining operations, trucks, air compressors, etc) can be a major factor as well.
The real issue is reproducibility of a feature that has been subjected to post-processing. Pressing that ball into the cylinder is absolutely misshaping that cylinder wall, and your ability to have part A measure similar to part B relies heavily on how that cylinder wall was (or was not) damaged during that process. I bet you can see -with the naked eye- rifling or gouge marks around the cylinder walls yes?
How does one meet dimensional or locational controls of a diameter that is eccentric?!
