[To...] Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I have a stylus system that consists of a 3mm x 50mm in the -Z position and a 3mm x 33mm in the -X position mounted on a star adapter plate. I know how to qualify a single CAA stylus but have heard there are issues with the lateral position. I understand how to adjust the positions on the 2nd stylus but does anyone have any history they would like to share regarding a similar Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/18518-rds-caa-multi-stylus/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Al...] Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I've never had success with that. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/18518-rds-caa-multi-stylus/#findComment-104178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mi...] Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Good question Tom. I've been sort of wondering about this also. We had an "advisor" tell us we should be using an "L" probe in our RDS-CAA so we won't have to turn our head so much. WE were very skeptical about how turning an L probe in an RDS-CAA head would work so we haven't tried it. I can see a star probe with 2,3,4 and/or 5 positions but not using an L and turning it. Looking forward to reading some of the replies on this one.

[To...] Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 I was actually able to create it and qualify both probes though some of the angle choices for stylus 2 seemed to be too close in location to be the most accurate, i.e. A30/B30, A60/B60 and A45/B45. However, I was able to add additional indexes to access a wider array of points, and was able to "disable" some of the less desirable ones. I was able to do a Full Qualification on the new configuration. Please sign in to view this quote. As far as a single horizontal stylus or "L" probe. I do agree an "L" or "upside-down L", even in a non-CAA config, could be more versatile than a full star probe especially if you need to get into tighter internal areas.

[Mi...] Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I agree, Using an L and turning it to the 2,3,4,5 positions and qualifying it in those positions but he wanted us to create an L and do a full qualify as a 1 position and then turn it in any direction as an RDS head. Is that even possible? Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/18518-rds-caa-multi-stylus/#findComment-104184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Please sign in to view this quote. I assume by '"full qualify as a 1 position" that you mean a CAA stylus system with a horizontal stylus only, then I believe that is not possible. I would love to be wrong.
