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…
Global 575, TP200, PC-DMIS 2015.1. Cleaned calibrated last April.
Using tips .3X20, .5X20, 1X20 consistently measures +.0003/.0004 in (0.008/0.010 mm)on various calibrated gages (ring, sphere, block).
Switched head and everything else with Global…
Hey all, it's been a little hectic with this disk probe and I don't know if you have came across this. My disk 18mm calibrates great but the diameter is off, I calibrate it with a ring gage and make the necessary edits until it reads the same as my ring…
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…
After changing my OS to Windows 10 and upgrading to 2016 Pcdmis software, I had to re-add the calibration tool. Since doing so, I'm getting awful calibration results. I posted some pictures (having trouble with the file size on some of the pics) hoping…
We have the machine set up and calibrated by a representative from Hexagon. After he left, the machine has been consistently off by 0.0007" on the calibration sphere and other ring gages. We have calibrated the probes per the manual, but it is still off…

Hi,
This started Today. Probe will not calibrate. Running SP25 Scanning Head. Probe tries to run through the sphere and error pops up then.
I have checked probe length and set up and al looks good.
Any Ideas?
I've been browsing this forum the last couple of days trying to understand how to properly calibrate multiple tips. You guys have helped me a lot, but I still have a couple of questions. I understand to then say 'Yes' to the sphere has moved question…
Straight to it. All measurements in metric. Versions: PCDMIS 2013 & 2013 MR1.
We calibrated our probes, using the usual method in probe utilities. But now they are all reading wrong. Up to 25 microns too small to be precise.
We calibrated a probe…
All,
Is there an easy way to find out what tips we use in a certain directory? Then I can do an analysis of that and find out what tips I can remove or at least take off the calibration.
I recently picked up PC-DMIS programming after a lengthy…
I am using a "T" calibration tool with one sphere towards the front and one towards the back. I need to calibrate A90B0 & A90B180. How do I go about doing this? Thanks for your help and I will attach a picture as soon as I can. Using PC-DMIS 2014.
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…
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…
Hey everyone I am hoping I could get some help or maybe someone else has seen this error before. I have been having some problems with lighting adjustments during programming. The problem being the lighting percentage cannot go above 35%, when I try adjusted…
I don't usually look at the probe calibration results because I don't really understand what I'm looking at. I'd really like to gain a firm understanding of the data and
what it should mean to me .
I've been digging through old threads, and I'm…
Hey guys,
Today I have been trying to calibrate my 20X Nikon Lens.
Specs:
Machine: Optiv 2z763
PCDMIS: 2011
Probe:
Mycrona_Fixed
Optiv 20X 1/2 CCD (
Something Along These Lines )
This lens has not been built on our machine before…
We just purchased an Optiv Classic 321TP, with PCDMIS 2011 MR1. I will have a bunch of questions, but the first one is... how do I get the TP2 to be recognized? I built probe as you would as it were a conventional CMM, but I can't seem to get probe to…
We have recently purchased a 6-way module and I want to experiment with a custom disc probe (bore too small for a star probe). Is it possible to measure undercut widths using a disc probe? (touch down, take a point, pull up, take a point, distance between…
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…
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…
I’m getting a couple errors when I try to complete a machine start on our Brown & Sharp. This stared happening last night when our CMM operator was trying to clear a wrist error. When he tried to complete a Machine Start after clearing the error

Here is some background info... I took over a position in the quality dept. and with this postion comes the need to use measuing tools. I have learned how to run a CMM and do some small amount of programing. Now I have been assigned to dust off the Romer…
If I calibrate a tip to a secured standard (.75 sphere 0 0 1) shouldnt the values under the tip x,y be set to zero? I haven't inputed data into these fields before probing, this looks to be populated by dmis.
