Need to change probe tip on probe body?

New to Pc-Dmis, CMM and of course the Romer. The current probe body (5024SC-0237) and tip (6mm) was changed to a (3mm) tip using the same body. This ruby ball has broken (they don't bounce very well) and I want to put the (6mm) tip back onto the probe body. The problem is, I don't know what file to go back into and what needs to be changed. We had an engineer that set up the tip and he has left the company. This Romer has been a nightmare, my company decided to purchase this setup and not spring for any training (unless you count 3 days with a salesman). I am stuck with a instrument I know little about and being new to inspection (less than 2 years) has me at a loss. I appreciate anyone’s help and time.

Thanks,
Mike

You're looking for a file called "Arm Utilities User Guide.pdf" and on Page 139 and 140 are the specs on the two variations of the 5000 series arms. For 6-axis arm, you're max error should fall within .020mm. If you have the 7-axis arm you should be within .028mm. Either way you're a bit high. I think someone told me the "SC" in your 5024SC-0237 code says it's the 7axis model.

There's also callouts on those pages for your length error as well. Have you done a length check on the arm?

Hope this helps,
