Don't know how to title this post

I have been having issues with results in programs that have been running for 2 years. Ever since I updated to Version 2023 I am having an issue with probes. We run multiple programs daily with multiple star probes as we have a fixed head TIGO. The issue I am running into is programs will run great for days even weeks then all of a sudden results will go way out of tolerance on certain features. I think I have narrowed down the issue to 2 specific probes on one of the 5 ways. Position results using these 2 probes will go out of tolerance on multiple programs. Doing a runout check with indicators does not match the CMM results. We use the hand checks to double check when we see CMM discrepancies and they always match up well. I know probe profiles can get corrupted but am not certain how common this is. The funny thing is I can change out probes and re-calibrate and it may run great for another day or two even a week or it may not run at all. It has gotten worse the last month or so. I am getting really frustrated because I have never run into this problem before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hmmm. Could these programs possibly be run from different probe files, potentially differing PCDMIS updates depending on how old the programs are? PCDMIS or whatever programs being used like inspect etc... could be defaulting back to a previous default probe location if programs are being ran from different sources? Just giving thoughts, don't know if this is possible, or if destinations for programs and probe files were changed after the update?
