i am just starting to use a romer arm. i have used PC-dmis for 5 years but am looking for tips on how to use the leapfrog alignment. any tips would be great and no matter how trivial you might think they will be helpful. thanks in advance
I've only used it once besides in class, and that was just to set up an 'example' program.
I have "probe cups" on magnets. Stick them to the part. Follow the directions for leapfrog, use those 3 cups, they are pretty straight forward. Single point for each, not a sphere. I would suggest that you let the arm settle as much as possible before triggering the point when taking and re-taking the measurements. I was using MOST of the arm's reach, got numbers that matched within 0.0015" total.
