4. USING THE SYSTEM
The measuring system is multi-directional in the x/y/+z hemisphere.
Contact between the finger and the surface of the part to be inspected generates a signal used by the machine tool to save the
point of contact and to stop the machine axes. For good system repeatability, use a constant measuring speed.
The measuring speed selected must allow the machine axis to stop within the overtravel limits for the probe used.
Before using the probe, compensate for the systematic measuring error of the system made up of the probe, the machine tool and
the CNC by performing calibration. The systematic error is characteristic of each measuring direction and repeatable, therefore,
calibration must be carried out in every direction in which the measurement is taken. To calibrate the system, take measurements
at points of the machine with known values (R) and calculate the differences between these and the values measured (R+K1).
Enter this difference (K1) in the CNC tool correction parameters. It is retrieved each time a measurement is taken in the same
direction.
