Probe Vector will not Calculate when calibrated.

Hello,

Having an issue with the Probe not calculating the vectors during calibration.

1. When I select "reset" the default value is off, seems to always come back a (i=1,j=0,k=0) no matter what angle I am on.

2. When I try to calibrate (say A6-B-180) I have to calculate the i,j,k vectors. I don't know why the system does not know what angle it is at.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • In my attachment you can see the I,J,K is 1,0,0.  the problem is I know that the angle vectors should be 0, -0.866, -0.5, but it will not calculate when the "reset" data is selected.  The attachment is what it says when "reset" is selected.  After I calibrate it, it will not change to the correct vectors.  I don't seem to have this issue with straight probe build.  Just seems to be when the 5 way is used and I only use tool #4 location. It ends up just an L shape probe.

    I have deleted the probe file and create a new on, but same output.

    I have tried to use the shank Cal, but that don't seem to work either.

    I do have a master probe and use the Yes every time.  

    I guess the next question is what determines the "reset" values and what needs to be done to update that?
