Good evening, long time ...no discussion. I have read through the search posts, but have not really found what my problem is with programming small diameters. I have a part which is .500 in dia.(cylinder .500 dia. x 2.00 long), but has a thru-hole of .060 in the side of it that has to be checked. Every time I go to check the hole with the smallest stylus I have (1mm), it turns into a pinball game. I have set the retract values and the pre-touch values really low, but I cannot get this to work. It seems no matter what I do, when I take the first hit, the probe goes back too far and makes contact with the other side of the hole, thus creating the "pinball" effect. It is probably my newbie loss of reason setting in.
All help is appreciated. Thanks
