HR-R3 changer rack calibration

Has anyone had any experience with calibrating the HR-R changer racks? I have gone through the steps listed out in the help files, all the way until it asks to disconnect the kinematic joint adapter, and then take a hit on the datum sphere that is on the rack itself. 

my problem now is that when I remove the adapter, the jog box wont let me move the CMM, and only sometimes I can get it to move in only 1 direction. I lined up the CMM manually, and then was able to move with the jogbox down onto the sphere, but the CMM does not take a "hit", I assume because there is no probe or sensor on to know that it is taking a hit. 

These are the only instructions i'm finding currently, and am at a loss... For now I can change the adapters manually, but I'd like to figure this out to save time and effort in the future. Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Also want to add, that I solved the original issue from this post as well. 

    In order for the CMM to still allow operator to move using the jogbox, there is a dialog box that pops up, prompting to remove TKJ adapter, and then take hit on the probe that is on the HR-R changer. It seems that you have to actually hit "OK' on this dialog box, before removing TKJ, otherwise CMM will lock up. This was my issue when trying to calibrate these changers on both of our CMMs. 

    Hope this helps anyone else that may run into the same issue.
