[La...] Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Ok, so we get a New Contura, and I bring in a stylus system, used with 5.6 software, enter the Reference Sphere data to use the same RS, locate it and re-qualify for the New Contura with the Sphere at 180/0, and the front, back, left, and right stylus try to qualify as if there is no shaft holding the Sphere. I even tried to qualify each probe individually, but got the same result. I must be missing a setting somewhere in 6.4 that was not in 5.6. Have anyone running 6.4 had the same problem? It may not be unique to 6.4, but I have no knowledge of anything between 5.6 and 6.4. Thank you for any help in resolving this, it has me puzzled.

[Da...] Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Is the shaft radius correct in Reference sphere management ? Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/20944-stylus-qualification/#findComment-119198 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[La...] Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 Yes, and went through the whole RSH Shaft definition when it was setup. Now the Reference Sphere that came with the CMM is set as generic.

Not to sound like a dope but have you double checked that the 180 is on the Tilt and Rotation is at 0 and not the other way around.

[La...] Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 Tom, just checked, tilt is 180 and rotation is 0. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/20944-stylus-qualification/#findComment-119204 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ow...] Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Larry, I may complete off here but, what type of head are you using, Vast XT, xxt or articulating? If the reference sphere is straight-up, it will use a 180,180 setting. Also if straight up, it will only qualify down probes using the dynamic tensor qualification and all other probes will have to use just the tensor qualification selected in the Mode menu.

[La...] Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 Owen, We have a Vast XT Gold Head. After we finally got our old Contura G2 up and going, that uses a Vast XT Gold Head also, it had the 180,180 listed when we compared Reference Sphere setup of the two machines, and there seems to be no problem with old G2. We have only used tensor to qualify in the past, so that is what I was expecting to do now. I will try the 180,180 setting again tomorrow when I have time.

[To...] Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 You are qualifying the stylus system using Dynamic Tensor which is a function of the Navigator option. The reference sphere cannot be mounted straight up. If you want this machine to match the other one, you should probably set the mode to Tensor.

[Ow...] Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Tom, I would agree but, here in the Ozarks everything is ass-backwards so you have to rotate it around....lol Seriously though, we have a CMM that calibrates only with the sphere and shaft in the Z+ axis (straight up dog) and I went and looked at it and they have it set to 180/180. Might not matter but, I knew it worked for them. Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/20944-stylus-qualification/#findComment-119216 Share on other sites More sharing options...
