RDS-Software - How to calibrate 45° probe with a sphere - Shaft touches the sphere

Hi,

sorry for the maybe easy question. I am a beginner.

At the RDS-Software:

I don't know how to calibrate my 45° probe at our RomerArm 7525 with the sphere. I can not measure the nine points in the RDS-Software, because I touch the sphere with the shaft of the probe.
If I manage it in one orientation of the probe head, it crashes in the other one of the three. I attached a photo.

I always thouth the arm should be directly over the sphere. How should I do it? I searched the forum and the manual but can solve my problem.

Any ideas or suggestions?

best regards

Thorsten

  • Hello VinniUSMC,

    yes, but the RDS-Software tell you how to hold the arm, and how I had to orientate the probe head to the sphere. The part model on the screen show me green, when I hold it correct.

    When I go through the 36 points there are always a position where I am not able to pic the point at the equator line of the sphere. There the shaft hits the sphere.

    Do you understand my problem? I think if I would use a L-Shaped probe it would be also not possible. But hexagon sell all these probes for arms, so it is possible to calibrate them.

    Whats the trick?

    Best regards
