[Cl...] Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Do you just need to know how to name the stylus, or do you need complete instruction on probe qualification? Z- (if you had one) would be #1, Y+ stylus would be named #2, X+ would be #3, Y- would be #4, X- would be #5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Cl...] Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Go to CMM tab > Stylus system icon > pick up the MasterProbe > Choose the Reference sphere > choose Ref. sphere position (click the rotation and angle that matches your actual sphere). Click Qualify stylus > follow the prompts to qualify your MP. Pick up the star probe > click Qualify stylus (manually qualify each styli). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Jo...] Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 Ive done star probes on an xxt gold head, where each leg of the star was its own probe. Just havent done it on an RDS where i have to tilt the head 90 deg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 OK, I see. In that case I name my stylus (for example) 90.0_45.0_Y+_1.0 That indicates an A rotation of 90, a B rotation of 45, and the 1.0 stylus facing Y+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
