Basic Question

Hello

I have a basic question about how to measure something.

How do you measure a cylinder or plane that is not 90° to the base


1.Swiveled (at the same angle) as the cylinder(Global HH-AS8-T2.5 / HP-S-X1S)
or with

2.the star probe (Tigo with Startip) With 5 Tips

We are discussing which is better


I am of the opinion that you will get a better result if you swept.

  • I would say that this question doesn't concern planes most of the time.

    While k>0 in machine coordinates (and without any feature above),a single position is enough (often A0B0, if the stem is long enough).

    For a cylinder, you have to turn around it, so I believe that turning the head at the right angle is better than using different tips.

    You just have to check that the difference of radius between the ball and the stem is larger enough to compensate the difference of angle between the cylinder and the probe.

    In addition, you can use spiral scan, which is always nice to watch :).
