Calibrating a probe with 0.2mm ball

[[An...]]

Hello, everybody,

someone can give me tips for calibrating a probe with a 0.2mm ball,
regarding the settings for a TL3 - measuring head?
The "sensitive attitude" seems sensible to me, only when it comes to "dynamics" I am not sure! 🙁

Doesn't want to destroy the sensitive thing during calibration: 😃

The XXT sensor will use all 3 settings during a passive qualification (to collect bending parameters) regardless of the setting selected. You would select the setting you want in your program.

Thanks for the information!

What setting would apply to this Probe?
Dynamic? 10%, 30%, etc.

if you have an extra one go to 10%. if only have one go to 5% lol.

depending on your working length you may need to change the sphere coverage.

Thank you for the quick help!
in case of destruction, I have to kill him Thankfully, do not pay! 😃

As of the last time I checked, the sphere coverage for a passive qualification uses all 180° regardless of what you enter. A geometry requal will use the value entered. However, since the bending map is created with the passive at 180°, isn't it already too late.

I've done several repeatability studies with the XXT TL1 heads. You get better numbers if you don't go below 20%. Why, I don't know. But at any rate I would think the TL3s would yield similar results.

Contrary to popular belief, those really small shanks hold up pretty good as long as you use some common sense. And no, they won't break if you look at them wrong. The rubies seem to fall off more than anything, probably can't get much glue on them.

Yeah, that's been our experience, too. We haven't done much with 0.2s (we've only owned one). But we've even had 0.5's fall off the stem during qualification. (As a result, we switched suppliers. Our new supplier peg-mounts all rubies 0.5 and bigger.)
