calibrating angle probe


Recommended Posts

I rotate my probe only xy plane but while calibrating it shows it rotate about y z plane also, calibration result is good. It is my mistake or usual in calibrating angle probe.lt also tells different angles second time calibration.But calibration result is perfect no problem??

Here's what you do. Manually calibrate it like you did. The first time thru just guess on the angles when Calypso prompts you.

Then probe the reference sphere with the shank of the probe until you have the cylinder. Look at the angle of the cylinder and that is your probe angle.
What the prompt is saying is a best guess at your probing vector when you take the first point. At this window you can correct your nominal angles so say Z/Y should be zero so you are at the center of the ball not high or low with a probing vector that drives in only X and Y. I would assume the X/Y would be a 30 degree so you type that in as well. I always turn my speed down before hitting continue because the stylus will take off and continue qualification with the corrected vectors.

John is correct. This is what they are teaching at training to find the exact vector of the probe.

One interesting thing I have noticed is that the probes in which I've input the exact vector seem to quality with a slightly lower S value than probes that the exact vector was not input. This even worked on probes that were in line with an axis to the CMM. For example, even if my probe is close to 0 degrees, it is not exact. I assume this has to do with the CMM doing less probe radius correction???
