  • HELP!! to install a new probe head

  • "Uknown" Probe

    Hi, I programmed 20 points in that I need to check over 15pcs to do a capability study. I inserted an auto trigger command so I knew I would get the same point every time instead of just being close and eyeballing it. But my problem is, it seems to be…

  • 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…
