[Me...] Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hey all, having issues setting up a vertical reference sphere in calypso... by vertical i mean it is pointing along the z axis. I am using an 180 inclination angle, and a rotation angle of 0. I believe the rotation angle is what is getting confused. I am having an issue calibrating certain probes where it will crash into the shaft, not understanding that there is the shaft there. I have done this before with other machines with no issues. I don't know if this is an issue in the new version of calypso, i was using 2017 and am now using 2019. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks, JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Me...] Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 6-point calibration. our machine is a Spectrum II equipped with an XXT adapter with a TP20 probing module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Have you checked the shaft diameter in the Reference Sphere properties window? I haven't done much with Renishaw sensors but your Tilt and Rotation look fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the tilt is set to 180, the rotation is meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Me...] Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Yeah I changed my shaft diameter. The probe comes in as if the probe is tilted. attempting to probe directly under the sphere in the z- as if the shaft was not present there, at that point it crashes and errors out.

[Ro...] Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I think the issue is the Inclination and Rotation angles need to be set to Zero.jhkghfgfd.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Roberto, I don't believe this is the correct setting. if you place these values in the picture shows the shaft is upside down. The Rotation angle appears to be the problem, see "ref sphere 2" attachment. the shaft appears to be along the x+ which would correlate to the issue i am having. im thinking this could be a bug maybe? i did not have this issue in 2017, but that was a different machine.ref sphere 1.JPGref sphere 2.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sphere/shaft is symmetrical, so once you are spinning about the axis at 180° the rotation angle is meaningless. It could be possible that you are seeing some bug, so you might try to update to the latest SP, and see if that corrects it. Or you can copy all of the information of the reference sphere (mainly the SN, diameter, and roundness), and create a new one, and make sure you select the correct properties.

Hi Richard, yeah i am starting to lean the same way that this is a bug. the current service pack is 4 which is the most recent, this is a new machine. upon the initial calibration of masterprobe, the probe hits the shaft. this is after the masterprobe has been created either by a new machine tab or a masterprobe reset. it prompts to measure the ref sphere 5 times in 5 different articulations. you can see that it attempts to go directly under the reference sphere and hits the shaft but surprisingly can continue. other probe calibrations fail past this point. i got Zeiss involved to hopefully shed some light.
