Calibration plate calibration...

Hi,

We have an Optiv 321GL-TP, and since the beginning we are calibrating probes every week, but also the camera with the glass plate (you know, the one with rectangles and circles).
For the probes i'm pretty sure it's necessary, but what about the camera ? how often do you check it guys ?
This give rise to another question: does the calibration features (sphere/ring and glass plate) has to be verified periodically ?

Thanks.

  • Yes, as we use both camera and probes, we calibrate the offset each week too. But that glass plate... it takes quite some time... and i would like to prove my superior it is not necessary (except for a shock of the head for example) but don't know how to argue...
    For the artifacts calibration, i admit it's a disturbing question, some years ago Hexagon were not able to give us an answer, they said something like "valid over 10 years" Stuck out tongue closed eyes

    Thank you anyways !
