[Jo...] Posted November 26, 2024 Share Posted November 26, 2024 Can a VAST XXT be used for self centering probing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted November 26, 2024 Share Posted November 26, 2024 Yes, but it's mainly only really works that well in the Z direction. If you have an RDS you have more leverage because you can rotate the head, so that you are probing in the correct direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Da...] Posted November 26, 2024 Share Posted November 26, 2024 I tried self-centering on a PEM stud today that Calypso didn't like the placement of, but it didn't help any... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[na...] Posted November 27, 2024 Share Posted November 27, 2024 (edited) It really helps, if you lock (clamp) 1 axis with self-centering on XXT. Regards, Dane Edited November 27, 2024 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mi...] Posted November 27, 2024 Share Posted November 27, 2024 It depends. We regularly use Self center probing for POINTS, most often with left or right probes to locate spline spaces and such. That works perfectly fine, expect you have to lock an axis or it tends to slide off your part. Anything more complicated than that only works in the -Z direction and even then... not really.
