Measuring the lowest point in a U shaped groove

Can I vision probe be used to find the lowest point in a groove that is U shaped? or is that better suited for a tactile probe? I need to make sure this u shaped groove is centered between an ID and OD.

Offline with tactile, I can probe a small radius circle, construct a center point, probe the OD, then dimension the center point to the od subtracting the radius. Comes out good offline. Can I do the same thing with the vision probe?

  • Alright, I did what you said, measured to the cone by 2 circles instead with same # of points, constructed lines, I used an offset plane to by datum A plane, did the pierce points, created the circles out of the pierce points and voila, deviation of 0.0021" runout.

    All was done using tactile, didn't try it with vision.
