Verify your software
1. Does your software have suitable calibration
routines which compensate for stylus
on-centre errors? If not, you must set the
probe stylus on-centre mechanically.
Note: Machining centre applications.
When using probe styli which are not on spindle
centre, spindle orientation repeatability is
important to avoid probe measurement errors.
2. Does your software compensate for probe
triggering characteristics in all measuring
directions?
3. Does the software automatically adjust the
program co-ordinate system to the relevant
set-up feature on the component, for job
set-up purposes?
4. Does your software provide protected moves
in the cycles to monitor for a collision?
