Need to change probe tip on probe body?

You should have two ways to calibrate the tip. The first is a calibration artifact that came with the Romer Arm (looks like a 3/4" square bar roughly 2 ft long with some numbers on it, a few blind holes that look like they were made with a center drill, and some holes drilled thru for clamping down the bar).
I do my calibration through the Cimcore software, though I've heard you can do it in PCDmis. Just never bothered to try. Secure the calibration artifact to the same table your arm is on, and open the cimcore software. Click on the Probe Calibration button. Navigate through the next few windows, making sure that on the window with the pull down menu giving you the option between Sphere, Single Point, or Plane, that you select the single point method. When you get to the window with the "Start Measure" button, click it. You will place the probe into the cone on the artifact that fits it, and take 20 points in the following method. Start the probe in line with your body and the arm base and angled away from the base as far as possible while safely seated in the cone still. Take 10 points in an arc towards the arm base. Now have the probe shaft facing directly down into the cone and take 10 points by spinning the arm (keep it facing straight down). Look at your screen and confirm you have 20 points. Now hold down the button for measuring until it starts to beep,beep,beep at you. You should now be able to click on the next (or finish) button. Check your errors to the standards for your arm, and you're done. I reccomend saving the calibration record.

If you can use the calibration sphere from your CMM, it is a more accurate way to calibrate the probes. At the window that you chose Single Point, now choose Sphere instead. Follow the steps through and measure the ball as you would on the CMM. Our Alabama plant has their own calibration sphere, and they get .015mm deviation, as opposed to .07mm with the bar.
