Probing settings during the qualification of stylus

[[Ma...]]

Does anyone have knowledge about which of the following settings to choose in which situation? Is the contact dynamics related to the elasticity of the measured material (the more deformable it is, the lower the dynamics), and how should one generally approach this topic?

Currently, we use styli of various lengths (from a few millimeters up to 1000 mm), and we mainly measure steel, occasionally aluminum. We use traditional ruby tips as well as disk styli. I’d be grateful for any help, because at the moment I’m doing this by intuition and I don’t really understand how it affects the final result.

I would love a good answer to this question, The official documentation is lacking.  I get that lower dynamics are for more flexible parts.  To what extent? What is the harm in selecting the wrong dynamic?

I am not sure how on Duramax, but Dynamics will result in slower approach speed and pressure.

It's mostly used on long and flexible probes and/or flexible material, like plastics or sheets of metal.

Using different probing behaivour will result in different macro for qualification.

You can tryout different probing behaviour to see. You can also tryout different dynamics, but i can not advise you to choose 100% for long brittle probe.
Pick a certified ring used for discs and see how is your reported diameter and other things changing.

Thanks for the answer.

I was actually planning to run such tests myself to see how the results change when using different styli and different probing settings. The problem is that in my company there’s always a lack of time for this 😕 If I manage to carry out these tests, I’ll definitely share the results.

In the meantime, if any of you have access to any materials, publications, etc. on this topic, I’d be grateful if you could share them 🙂
