Touch Probe Question

[[Ad...]]

Good day,

I have found when probing surfaces with the touch probe, the point data is 2.5 mm away from the actual scanned surface with is incorrect.  My probe is 2.5 mm radius, so it seems like there may be a link there.

Does ATOS have a compensation correction for the probe diameter?  Where can I find / adjust this?  I made sure to type in the radius correctly upon calibration.

We are using GOM Inspect Pro with a freshly calibrated touch probe.

Thank you,

Adam

Hello Adam,

a touch point will create a point in the center of the probe head. For a surface point, you first define a fitting plane and then a touch point, which is projected on this plane:
