  • Page 25: Probe Moves

    1-21 PROBE MOVES A probe trigger signal is generated when the probe is in the operating mode and the stylus is driven against a surface and is deflected. The machine control records the probe contact position and instructs machine motion to stop. High probing speeds are desirable, however a probing velocity must be chosen which allows the...
  • Page 26 1-22 PROBE MOVES Single and double touch (continued) With some types of controllers, it is an advantage to use the two touch method. The first move finds the surface quickly. Then the probe is reversed to a position clear of the surface, before making the second touch at a slower feed rate, thereby recording the surface position at a higher resolution.

  • Page 27: Software Requirements

    1-23 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS VERIFY YOUR SOFTWARE 1-1 Does your software have calibration routines which compensate for stylus on centre errors? If not you must set the probe stylus on centre mechanically. Note : When using probe styli which are not on spindle centre. Spindle orientation positioning repeatability is important to avoid probe measurement errors.
