I was told at the PCDMIS training that anything under 0.015" STD DEV is ok. Where is everyone's max at? What is a good STD DEV to stay under? 0.015" seems high to me.
Calibration - STD DEV

I would say MM, NOT INCHES ("). Nowayinhell would I accept 0.015" for the STD DEV for ANYTHING. You can basically double that value to get any of the 'shape' items, ROUNDNESS, SPHERE, FLAT, STRAIGHT, etc. (at least, it will be DANG close). So, I guess it depends on WHAT that STD DEV is for? CAlibration results? NO WAY! Alignment features on a fixture? NO WAY! A measured feature of a part, well, that will depend on the tolerance of the part.sigpic

That has to be MM. and that is a little high for MM for simple probes.
Although, how many of their trainers have real world experience?

On a Discovery, 5 microns on a good probe, and up to 17 microns on a bad probe.
Good= within the Renishaw guidelines of module
Bad = Not within the guidelines of the module
Star probe - forget them....

There is one guy here that insists I use it instead of tip rotations (he is a Ziess guy). I still refuse. I don't know why that is the most requested thing here in a plant full of people that don't know jack about CMMs. They have their place but that place is not with most of today's hardware and certainly not with most of our tolerances that is for sure.

What does sheet metal have to do with that, huh?!
j/k
What is the tightest tolerance on your worst sheet metal part?

by calbrittonHow do I change this. My programs are in inches but the probe calibration results are in mm.
