Probe Compensation Overview
Probe compensation is a localized process by which a measurement device is
optimized to perform measurements accurately.
To understand probe compensation, you must first understand the Quantum's
reference system. The Quantum is factory compensated from the base to the last
joint or axis, and the position of this joint is defined by the coordinate system
which originates at the base of the Quantum. The last axis of the Quantum has its
own coordinate system, and the location of the center of the ball probe is reported
in the probe's coordinate system. After the probe's coordinates are established,
these are translated into Quantum coordinates and you are ready to start taking
measurements.
Measurement accuracy relies on probe compensation under optimal conditions.
If the probe compensation passes, measurements will be accurate. If the probe
