[St...] Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Just started a new job a few weeks ago. Up till now I have only used a Contura G2 with an XXT head. This place has a Spectrum machine with an RDS/TP20 set up. Is it possible to use CAA with this machine ?

[Na...] Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Yes, you will still be able to use the functionality of CAA. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/19434-caa-with-rds-and-tp20/#findComment-109254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Er...] Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Nathan, I don't know that this is true, unless their is more information about the TP20 that I am unaware of. We have a Eclipse with the RDS TP20 and we don't have the option for CAA when we set up a probe. The TP20 is not used to scan so i don't think this is an option with the TP20.

[To...] Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Look under the RDS. If it doesn't say RDS-CAA in big red letters, I don't think it can do it. Though I don't know what it looks like on a Spectrum Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/19434-caa-with-rds-and-tp20/#findComment-109258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[St...] Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 So Tom, When you say look under the RDS I'm assuming that you re talking about under the Extras/CMM/Settings/Probe menu ?

[Ca...] Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I think he means the large red decals that are physically on the underside of the RDS, on the CMM.

[St...] Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 That was simple. One machine has the sticker on it with the -CAA the other one has no sticker at all.

[Ja...] Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 The newer RDS (Rotating Digital Sensor) Probe Heads are almost always shipped with the capability of the RC-CAA qualification. There are probably a few systems with what I would call, 1st or 2nd Generation RDS Probe Heads. ZEISS has typically put decals on the end of the sensor in red letters to signify that it is an RDS-CAA equipped sensor. If it's not obvious, decals wear off, then try creating a new stylus system. When the window opens to name it, there will be a small check box that allows the user to activate RDS-CAA.
