[Ch...] Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Ok team, who can help describe how to define an XTR holder location. Working at a new site, the lack of instructions how to do this is absolutely atrocious. I've read thru manual, sensor cookbook, searched knowledge base. Im thinking its similar to XXT touching off on a little flat area on the holder and adapter plate - however this picture prompt that comes us throws me for a curve, probe in the random middle of a random angled plane ?? sheeesh. Thanks everyone ! Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/25903-vast-xtr-define-holder-location/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I have an XTR, I think it ask you another question after that but I'm totally blanking now. I would test it out for you but I'm packing up and about to leave and don't want to screw something up on my Friday afternoon 1 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/25903-vast-xtr-define-holder-location/#findComment-146497 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 (edited) i try probing the flat area and it starts probing 3 points in a weird manner then says failed... We have the zeiss standard xtr holders Edited February 20 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/25903-vast-xtr-define-holder-location/#findComment-146499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ro...] Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Hey Chris, See pic below. Start with the top slanted plane. Edited February 20 3 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/25903-vast-xtr-define-holder-location/#findComment-146501 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ch...] Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Did you try probing the angled flat area? 1 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/25903-vast-xtr-define-holder-location/#findComment-146505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 (edited) Roy, you're a life saver bud, omg Zeiss could not show a similar pic in any documentation - no words... Question, is the flat area on opposite side used for anything? Do I ever need to touch off on adapter plate as instructions say..(lol) if so what part of adapter plate , just tried Roy's method and it works. Thank you again everyone !

[Ri...] Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The touching off on the adapter plate is for determining the length of the MasterProbe. You probe a surface with the bottom side of the adapter plate, and probe the exact same surface with the sphere of the stylus - it then calculates the length of the MasterProbe. 1 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/25903-vast-xtr-define-holder-location/#findComment-146511 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ch...] Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 scratching my head a bit on how touching off an angled surface properly sets an accurate 'Z' height for plate to slide in and out accurately... oh well.

[Ri...] Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) Please sign in to view this quote. You touch a single point and then the system automatically probes points. It starts with three points on the angled surface, then a point in the -Y axis and another in the -X axis for each probe holder. The angled plane can now create intersections based on the other two points; each separate point can be theoretically a plane. This combined can create an intersection of the corner of the probe holder which can be translated to the center of the probe holder. (My best theory).
