[Ca...] Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I need to qualify a disk probe with a compound angle. Does anyone have tips suggestions on how to do this? My first (and only) thought is to do it "the normal" way, and fixture a setting ring in a couple of sine plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Is this an XXT or regular VAST? No way you could use a T (if VAST) or L (if XXT) stylus system? I think the Sine Plate is going to be your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ca...] Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 It's an XXT. The Sine Plate looks like it's going to work.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Me...] Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 How did this work out for you? I currently have a Disk with Z- A0 B0 Been wondering if its possible to Qualify X+, X-, Y+, & Y- aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, technically the XXT does not support Disc probes, but the process of "getting one to work" in any orientation other than -Z is the same.

Creating disk probes for Back, Front, Left and Right is really straight forward. I'd suggest making a star probe with normal ruby probes that are the same length that your disks will be. It saves a TON of time fi they're the same length. Make a simple program that establishes an origin and size of a setting ring. Then just swap your rubies for disks, and using the same program check the ring again and adjust the probe geometry until the X, Y, Z and size match the rubies measurement, within whatever tolerance you're comfortable with. I don't really chase millionths. I hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of Year/Month maddness and all... lol Do you have to make a separate stylus for each Orientation(Front, Back, Left, Right)? Or is it possible to add the angle to my Exisiting Stylus. I have a Vast XXT... Based on a instruction sheet i have, Seems like id have to make a new one with All 5 Basic orientations already in it.
