calibrating probes

Can someone give me some tips on calibrating tips. i have always used a CMM and I am really new to a Romer arm and was wondering if you guys had some tips???

  • The instructor I had said you should NOT have to calibrate any of the tips, UNLESS you have bent/broken/replaced one.


    <OCD mode>

    Only calibrate a tip if the ball center or the ruby shape has changed since the last time it was calibrated.

    </OCD mode>

    the problem is that sometimes it's hard to tell if the tip has infinitesimally bent. yet another reason to use the 3mm probe as sparingly as possible, as it has the slimmest shaft.
