compensation fails, measurements will not be as accurate. Proper mounting and
technique are critical compensation factors.
To optimize compensation and minimize stress-induced errors during this critical
procedure, place the Quantum in a single position in which the elbow joint
remains relatively stationary without any obstructions or restrictions in
movement while the compensation is performed. DO NOT let the elbow joint fall
during compensation. Only exercise the last joint of the Quantum for the
software to accurately compensate the probe tip. To maximize accuracy,
minimize elbow joint movement and focus on the probe and last arm joint during
compensation.
Probe Compensation
When changing the style or dimension of the probe at the end of the Quantum,
you must compensate it for the Quantum to measure and function accurately.
Probe compensation is an optimization procedure that requires you to digitize
points. The two methods of compensation are:
•Hole
• Sphere
Click either button to compensate the current probe. The Hole Compensation
method differs depending on whether the G
UIDANCE check box is selected or
cleared. The Sphere Compensation method differs for 6-Axis and 7-Axis models.

• See “Sphere Compensation Method - 7-Axis” on page 70.
