  • Probe results editing

    Hello all, I have a question on how to get my calibration results to read to 5 decimal places as I am trying to see exactly how much deviation I have in microns. Going through set up and changing the decimal place there seems to only make it so…
  • Measured Probe Diameter Error Exceeds limits

    I am newer to programing and mostly just use the vision part of my machine. But seem to be having some issues with the Tactile side of my machine. Half way though probe calibration I get this "Measured probe diameter error exceeds limits." It then…
  • Autocalibration Calibration Sphere

    Hello All, I'm not sure if this is a common thing but i have an auto calibration program I set up to calibrate all our angles at once with. We have multiple calibration spheres that we use, for example when one is out to be certified by a 3rd party…
  • 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…
  • Probe Calibration Interval Stop Gap

    I am looking to terminate a program if the probe tips have not been calibrated withing a certain time frame. The warning message just isn't enough for these guys... I think I need functions PROBEDATA() and SYSTEMDATE() but I am not sure what expression…
  • Unable to calibrate 2mm ball probe

    I'm fairly new to running a CMM and I'm having an issue that I'm not sure how to fix. Every time I try to calibrate the 2mm ball probe that I typically use (and have used almost daily for the past couple months), it just refuses to calibrate automatically…
  • Adding Probe Angles AFTER Calibration Sphere has been moved

    Good morning everyone, After searching the forum (seems using google to do it gets better results!), I can't find a clear answer to this question that has been asked many times : After calibrating A0B0, and additional angles - If I move the…
  • Crash during Calibration

    Hello All, I have three CMMs running various versions of PCDMIS On one of these, a B&S One 7.10.7 running PC-DMIS 2015, I just tried to write a new probe file and calibrate it. I've done this hundreds of times without any issue, so expected the…
  • "No probing within probelimit"

    Hi, all. today i did run my calibration program and everyting seemed good, but after the first exchange of probes i reicive error message "TR_PRB01,no Probing within Probelimit !" to me it`s odd, because i did run the calibration program for a while…
  • Probe calibration - Wrong parameter

    Hi all, i've got an issue with probe calibration. If i want to start tip cal, pc dmis will write that the parameter is wrong. I tried to reset tips, create new tips, call backup, copy new PROBE.dat. The machine can normally measure, but i cannot start…
  • Calibration sphere missing with new update.

    We recently switched from 2013 PC-DMIS TO 2017 R1 and have lost the calibration sphere data. I'm just an operator and have no idea where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction or at least tell me what we have. Thanks, Attached…
  • probe Re Qualification

    I am trying to qualify 3 different probes 1. 2 mm diameter probe 20mm long 2. 1mm diameter star probe on a 20mm extension 3. 5mm diameter probe on a 50mm extension I calibrate the first probe A0B0 saying the sphere has moved then no to the other…
  • Probe Calibration Parameters

    I have searched the forum extensively on this topic and found a lot of good information but I am still not completely satisfied. I use TP20's with a wide variety of tip configurations at multiple index angles. I have gathered that different probe…
  • Vision and Probe Calibration Offset

    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…
  • Probe Calibration issue.

    Hi, I have a Probe Calibration Issue. When I try to Calibrate the probe it is as if it is forgetting where the sphere is and the Scans within the calibration aren't touching the sphere itself. They are missing the sphere on one side and then hitting…
  • Cannot select probe for calibration

    Hello all . . . so off the bat I understand the version we're running is quite old. PCDMIS 2001 to be precise. I'm having an issue calibration any probe file. For whatever reason the software doesn't recognize the selected config to be calibrated. I've…
  • centers of same feature from 2 different probes - don't match

    About to put in a tech support ticket, but they are slow so.... it is a race to see if you can fix this first. 2mmx30mm probe measure outside cylinder. Then measure the same cylinder with a 4mmX40mm probe. The measured diameters are exactly the same…
  • Ruby Shank probe calibration

    Hi All Can someone tell me the best way to calibrate a shank probe as seen in the picture above Thanks
  • Calibration - Standard Deviation exceeds limits

    I am having a problem getting my 1mmx27.5 probe tip to calibrate. I have cleaned the 1mm ruby tip and the calibration sphere. I even changed out the 1mm tip with a new one. Here is the report: Probe file=T-PROBE_T1X27_M2 Date=6/17/2013 Time…
