2. Refer to the following Probe Tip Adjustment screen instrucons:
a. Orient the probe in the spindle so one of three
adjustment screws is opposite the machine column
(see Figure 8.10). Label this Screw A.
b. Press Y+ buon next to A.
c. Rotate spindle 120° clockwise (as viewed from above
the probe) so next screw is opposite machine column.
Press Y+ buon next to B.
d. Similarly, rotate spindle a third me unl nal screw
is opposite machine column. Press Y+ buon next to C.
e. Tighten the screw corresponding to the largest DRO
value (A, B, or C). Alternavely, if the screw cannot be
ghtened, loosen the other two screws.
f. Iterate this process unl all DROs read the same value. All screws should be ght.
Aer calibraon, mark the spindle pulley with a permanent marker or paint pen at a locaon that
corresponds to the angular posion of the probe cord. This allows the probe to be removed and
replaced in the exact spindle orientaon it was calibrated for – and eliminate error stackup.
