LP2 probe moves
System delays
System delays are repeatable to less than 2µs,
and are constant in each direction in which
measurement is taken.
Delays are automatically compensated for,
provided a calibration move is made in the
same direction and at the same velocity as each
measurement move.
Calibrating a system
Calibrate the probe system at a constant
measurement speed in the measurement
direction, to automatically compensate for errors,
in the following circumstances:
1. Before the system is used.
2. When a new stylus is used.
3. If the stylus is bent.
4. To allow for machine thermal growth.
5. Where there is poor shank relocation
repeatability in the machine spindle.
