You can tweak the probe stylus pretravel calibration diameter and repeat as needed to obtain as close a measurement
as possible to the actual ring gauge diameter. Assuming the machine has low backlash and the probe is accurate, it is
possible to ob/- .0002” repeatability when measuring the ring gauge diameter with a good probe and a machine in
good condition.
The Probe Stylus Calibration is now complete. Probe is ready for probing and digitizing!
Each different Stylus will have a different pretravel compensated calibration diameter. Do this procedure for each stylus.
Make a table and record the calibrated diameter values for each stylus. Be sure to update the Probe Diameter in the Tool
Library to match the stylus being used when swapping out to a new stylus!
