[To...] Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Hello all. I have a question which has probably been asked before.....but I'll ask it again 😃 Back around 2010 or so, I attended a Dealer AE conference at Zeiss. Mark Busha, of Zeiss, (not Mark Boucher) showed everyone how you could set up a stylus system with a down stylus(1) and a lateral stylus(2). It would be nice if you could set one up without the down stylus. Has anyone figured out if this can be done? I toyed around with idea of setting one up with the normal config and just removing the down stylus but I don't remember what the issues were that made think it was not possible. So, here I am. Got anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ju...] Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 So you tried deleting the bottom stylus, and it didn't work? Or are you just trying the best way to get out of a bad situation? (Don't get in one.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall what the reason was as to why I determined it wouldn't work or that the process was flawed. If it had worked, I would probably be using it now on a regular basis.

[Ri...] Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 The attached "ssc" file was very successful. No problems qualifying. Rename "5x85(-Z)x50xL(X+)_Tf_506366873.ssc.txt" to "5x85(-Z)x50xL(X+)_Tf_506366873.ssc", load into your "Stylus system Creator". I used this in 5 articulations.5x85(-Z)x50xL(X+)_Tf_506366873.ssc.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you used this as stylus 1 and it qualified using 12 positions... Did you start with it at A0B0 or A0B-90? Do you remember the reference sphere tilt and rotation? Not sure what you mean you used in 5 articulations other than your measurement plan required 5 different angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 The stylus has one tip, "#1 A0B0(L +X)". A0B0 and the tip is 90 (+X). So I started at A0B90 (Not -90). I have another I think is A0B-90. If you want B-90, just rotate the stylus in Stylus system Creator 180°, save as a new stylus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ri...] Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I got the two probes mixed up. I have two, one is 180° from the other. What you have looks correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeiss makes a specific "L" stylus used to qualify the O-inspect rotary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
