I'm using a 200mm extension and i want to change to a 100mm ext. Each has it's own autojoint ext/adaptor(useing a PH10MQ HEAD). My ? is, if i change back to the 200mm ext,will it repeat or will i have to qualify everytime i change ext's? I have 50 plastic door panels to layout and my cmm is not tall enough

If each probe has its' own auto-knuckle joint (PAA) then once you have calibrated the first probe (answer "yes" to the question "Has the qualification sphere moved?"), the next probe to be qualified the answer to that same question will be "no". After both probes have been qualified then there is a relationship between the two, and no further qualification is needed.sigpic

I should have included the statement that each of these PAA's also needs its' own TP2, TP20, or TP200. Otherwise you are going to be screwing and unscrewing the probe module(TP2/TP20/TP200) and that negates what I said earlier capiche'? comprende? Got it? Goodsigpic

I use to work at a place where we changed the auto joints, we had like 8 and we calibrated once a week if needed. We had pretty wide tols tho, on some tighter stuff we had in the program a tip cal. So it would come to front we by hand changed the auto joint and it would cal and report it in the program and continue running. So it depends on what your needs are.I talk dirty to my cmm. Justn

FORD F-150 INSIDE DOOR COVERS. I have 4 ppa and many tp20's . I wrote a program yesterday with both ext(with each it's own ppa and tp20). I qualified everything first, and i got good # even when switching back to original pickup probe. I have a B&S EXCEL 12-30-10 but i'm at the limit with the size of the gage

by ironcladI am new to CMMs, so this may be an extremely naive question, but what is the proper tool to change between styli that connects to the probe itself?...
