I have a MIH probe head and have calibrated all the probes (1 - 5) configured as a star probe with the head at A0B0. I then turned the head to A90B0 and calibrated all the probes in the orientation. When I check all the probes to a plane in the Z axis, the A0B0 check within .00013", but with it at A90B0 they all check .043 - .044". What is going on? I need help! thanks

This might help too.

Also, how long is the probe? It may weigh too much. Does it cause false triggers?When in doubt, post code. A second set of eyes might see something you missed.

The #1 probe is 3mm dia x 20mm long. All others are 3mm dia x 36mm long. I am using a medium force TP20 trigger probe. I have had a few false triggers, but for the most part it works fine. I do plan on buying an extended force trigger probe as soon as our company lets us buy equipment again. I will try and align the probes again and then recalibrate. I did have it aligned quite well, but will do it again.Comment

I have realigned the probes and recalibrated starting with #1 and then #2 - #5. I then recalibrated again. But, I'm still getting these results: #1 = .06313"; #2 = .04071"; #3 = .03970"; #4 = .04123" #5 = .04038". What else can be done? HELP!!!Comment

It is the TP20 probe. The "pull" trigger is terrible and will cause your tip cals on star probes to suck pretty bad.Comment

Well we usually advise at this point that you should begin drinking heavily and seriously consider a career change! But. . . if that course of action does not appeal to you. . . You really only have a few choices. 1) Use small and lighter tips. 2) Beg, borrow, steal, or purchase a tp2. 3) Program or reprogram to inspect the part using a single tip and many wrist angles.
