Probe crash at change

[[Ch...]]

Can someone explain to me why at every probe change the RDS/Vast-XXT head rotates to a random A/B position. Every other Zeiss machine that I have used does nothing after the probe change. I have checked all of the approach parameters. Even if I put in an approach parameter (before or after), the A/B head still rotates to random position after it goes to where I set the approach parameter to. This causes a major problem, as some of the probes are long enough that they hit the probe rack, or the column of the machine. Is there a setting that tells the machine not move after the probe change? I even went so far as to create an entirely new probe, and the head rotated to A90 B-90 immediately after the probe change.

Contura 9/18/8

I believe the behavior is either it rotates to last manually qualified tip or it may just be the tip that was active when the qualification window was closed.

Typically I suggest to always come back to tip #1 (which is usually A0B0) and perform a geometry requalification, then close the window.

I also believe it is retroactive as well, so if you go back into the manual qualification window and perform these steps, it should correct it for you.

Give it a shot. I hope it helps.

I believe it rotates to the last created stylus.
One thing you can do is change the approach parameter and increase the distance on the Y axis. That way it moves far back on the Y axis so when it rotates, there's clearance and won't hit the rack.

Whatever probe angle is showing in this window when you close the box will be the angle that it will go to immediately after probe change.
