When you calibrate a probe tip you get the results which shows the X, Y, and Z as well as the diameter and the sntd dev.
What does the x,y,z represent and if it is off how does that affect anything.
I realize that when you get into head rotations that you need to relate to 0,0 and the other angle as if you don't you will be off(I am talking from a recent experience here).
That is why hence the question, because once it was calibrated properly the Z value changed and the points taken were "more correct".
But just for a 0,0 the value we have as nominal is 180 and the results are 178 something....
On the other CMM same setup the nominal is again 180 and the results are more @ 180ish.
Sorry do not have specifics, but the idea is that the results are off.
My initial thoughts are this:
the values represent the distance from the center of the ruby to the bottom of the ram where the pH head goes into.
If anything is off it is relative to perhaps the head is not seated all the way up as it should(i.e. someone messed around).
OK I am done babbling my questions thoughts and own answers - I await your expert answers to help me.
P.S. Is it time for a beer yet??? I figured I would include beer right away because it is the 3rd monday of the week and I am well overdue to have one about now!!!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
