[Ri...] Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Yesterday, I had no problems. Today...Problems. What do these messages mean? See image: Capture.jpg "No result" Then the next message. See image: Capture2.jpg "Your MasterProbe is invalid. Please first define the position of your high-precision reference sphere with the MasterProbe." I wish Zeiss messages were descriptive so you could actually determine what is wrong. FYI Prior to this happening, I had finished qualifying 8 total probes.Capture.JPGCapture2.JPG Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/8660-cant-reference-the-ref-sphere-position/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 P.s. This is the "REf. Sphere" setup.Probe Qualification Method (3)- V_CD_3mm_X_T.jpgProbe Qualification Method (2)- V_CD_3mm_X_T.jpgProbe Qualification Method (1)- V_CD_3mm_X_T.jpg Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/8660-cant-reference-the-ref-sphere-position/#findComment-38948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 I have noticed at every attempt to reference the Ref. Sphere and get the "No result" error message, it recalculates all the geometry for the Reference Sphere and places a check marked icon as if it was OK.

[Ri...] Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 This turned out to be an "RHS Definition" was bad. I corrected the RHS and all is ok. Not sure how it worked the first time.

[Ja...] Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 That is a rather peculiar master probe for an active head. I have only worked with the passive XXT probe head. Can anyone explain me the reasoning behind such an angled master probe?

[Ri...] Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 I am reaching up under a part into holes and threaded holes. These work well, even had them with upwards of 80mm reach in the +Z axis on a VAST XT (and Gold).

It looks like you were in the #1 position, so that should have been 45° Inclination, and 45° Rotation.

Got a question though, what's the green thingy on the side of your XTR?
