Duramax XXT TL3 Styli limits

Recommended Posts

I don't use our Duramax's much but, get called when they're having issues.

Currently, they're trying to use a probe that is well within the 15g weight limits but two has 100mm carbon fiber probes hanging laterally to each side on a 50mm down ext. (see attached picture).

The probe qualifies and runs just fine but, keeps getting the ole "not correct amount of pressure not detected" error where it repeats measuring a bore ID multiple times over and over.

I've read that the TL3 is not supposed to have a probe exceeding 65mm laterally so, that's most likely why it's not working for them.

Tried qualifing the probe with all 3 different pressure settings to no avail, probe still does same thing and STD less than 0.0003mm

Does anybody have any work arounds where this could be made to work?111_febd6f89e6bf1293b64fb1b76a1f3889.jpg

I have a probe set up the same way. It is exceeding the limits but it calibrated and work fine on my Contura. But, it wouldn't even calibrate on the Duramax.

It does calibrate just fine on the Duramax and yeah, I run 500mm length probes on my Accura with a vast gold head.

It's weird that it calibrates ok on the duramax but won't check a 40mm bore ID without multiple reruns.

Hey Owen, My first guess would have been to use the Robust qualification. However, did you check to see if the features were actually using the Robust setting in the Features Settings Editor?

Also, what version of Calypso?

Robust setting in the features setting editor,...Hmmmmm. I'll give that a try and thank you.
I've always used an active scanning head, didn't even know there was a "probing behavior for passive scanning" option in there. Is isn't on my active scanning computers but, it's there on the Duramaxipad computer.

Be careful using the probing behavior for passive scanning. If you qualify at standard force and change the probing behavior of the scanning head to robust, you will be measuring at a different force and your bend parameters will be incorrect

Richard, I was told by Zeiss that when you qualify a passive stylus that all 3 qualification types were validated meaning you could pick and choose any of them. Was this an "untruth"?
