[Me...] Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 It has been many years since I had to set up a new Disc probe and have forgotten how I should do the qualification on it. We will be using it on our Contura with the articulating head and I was hoping to be able to qualify it in all 5 axis (-Z,+Y,-Y,+X,&-X). If I remember correctly it is not viable to scan for qualification but only taking point. If anyone can give me some help on this (such as probe direction and such) it would be much appreciated.

[Mi...] Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I only use mine in the Z direction, but the way I calibrate mine, is I touch on the top of the qual sphere, then drop down to the equator of the sphere, take 4 points, then move the disc up off the center and take 4 more hits.(Manual Mode) I then let calypso run it After the machine does this, I will take a calibrated ring gage and measure the ring gage with the disc. I will change the disc diameter till it matches what the lab says the ring gage measured. This has worked for me going on 5 yrs. Never got into discs till I got here. Again this is the way I do it. Right or wrong lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[De...] Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I am fairly sure that Zeiss does not support the use of Disc probes on the Contura. That being said, we always used ring gages and changes the values to match the ring gage actual values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Me...] Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Why would they not support the use of a Disc Probe on the Contura? They sell Disc Probes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Jo...] Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Please sign in to view this quote. Which version of the software are you using? We are not being able to qualify manually using calypso 6.4 In the "Probing System qualification" menu there is no Manual mode option. If we go through the menu "Stylus" -> "Manual Path" when trying to manually probe the calibration sphere an error message pops-out saying that the probe is not qualified. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
