Probe speed very slow

At the beginning of your routine, (i prefer to place it before the loadprobe command) insert a "movespeed/100" command.

Mind you, there's an F5 Part/Machine checkbox that toggles your movement setting to be either a %of machine's max speed (that's a default setting, hence the 100 above), and absolute speed, which would be in millimeters per second. "Display absolute speeds"

IE if CMM 1's max speed parameters are 500mm/sec and you set it to 100% then moved the same routine to an older CMM with max movespeed of 240MM/Sec... Witth "Display absolute speed" toggled ON, both routines would run at 100mm/sec, and be more reproducible (albeit much slower).

Additionally, there's a parameter you can toggle for "Touchspeed" which again is either %max or absolute based on the F5 setting.  Typically a TP20 (or hexagon variant like you have) is set to 2%  changing your touchspeed can dramatically impact reproducibility, so be cautious about adjusting it.  I've found for most of my needs at my site (typically ±0.002" tightest tolerances), i can get away with about 8-10mm/sec max, which on newer machines with 500mm/sec max movespeed, is right in there at 2% of max.

People should be very careful with the %touchspeed option.

I recommend absolute speeds and always have your touch speed set to the same value in your programs as your calibration touch speed.

If you are running at different touch speeds (or the % of touch speed), the deflection factor calculated in the calibration wont match when you are measuring and you will get measurement errors.
