Groove width and position


Recommended Posts

A magic wand?

Maybe I'm not interpreting correctly, but that looks like an undercut groove on an ID. Those are always fun to measure, particularly where the id is too small to fit your normal star system into. In such cases, we usually end up building a custom t-probe system, with the stylus shanks cut short and pressed into the main shank.

Also, my calibrated eye may not be reading the picture correctly, but it looks like the sidewalls of that groove are only about .2 mm. That's going to limit the diameter styli you can use just a bit.
The accuracy of this function is pretty decent. That opinion is based on the small amount of testing I was able to do with it 5 or more years ago so take that with a grain of salt. Using a 2D Line scan at reasonable speed, with a styli large enough not to get "caught" by the form change and you should get repeatable results.
