Don't break the calibration chain!
I am posting this in hopes to have it made into a sticky since I see this issue arise a lot in the Vision section. This document perfectly explains the calibration process for calibrating offset with a Vision primary system with TTP.
I have an autocalibrate routine on my bridge cmm and I probably should have one for the optiv.
I see where you do the camera to the ring and then one probe to the ring.
Am I to assume then that this is a master probe?
I have the tesa rack so there's only two probes, but should I be doing both to the ring or not?
My current routine is: Camera to ring, moved yes / Probe 1 to ring, moved no / Probe 2 to ring, moved no.
Then Probe 1 to sphere, moved yes / Probe 2 to sphere, moved no.
Someone can correct me if I am wrong I think if it is a separate touch probe altogether you always want to hit yes to the sphere. You would always hit no when you do any touch probe to the ring. If a TIP is a part of the Probe build, of course say no to the sphere.
That is a good question however with a tool changer in the mix. I am assuming if you make a load probe change using a tool changer the first thing would be to go to the sphere and hit yes for your newly loaded TTP. Then follow through with the Ring with Vision "Yes" and then back to the same probe to the ring and then "No".
This ensures every new loaded TTP from the changer is secondary to the Vision and freshly calibrated.
