6.3 General Settings
6.3.1 Scan increment –The distance between each sample point. The smaller the scan increment
the more accurate the scan will be.
6.3.2 Scan Feedrate
6.3.2.1 It is recommended that the feedrate does not exceed 30 in/min
6.3.2.2 A feedrate greater than 30 in/min will negatively affect the accuracy of the scan.
6.4 Scan Size
6.4.1 360 degrees – Scans the entire perimeter of a part.
6.4.2 180 degrees – Only scans half of the part
6.5 X Scan Direction – Direction of probe movement on start in the X–direction.
6.6 Y Scan Direction – Direction of probe movement on start in the Y ‐ direction.
6.7 First Forward move
6.7.1 Initial Y move distance ‐ How far the probe initially travels in the Y ‐ direction.
6.7.2 If the probe is not triggered within the distance specified in the initial Y move distance the
program will abort. This is a safety mechanism to prevent damage to the probe.
6.7.3 It is recommended that a short distance be used relative to the starting position of the
probe.
6.7.4 If the probe is 1 inch away from the material, a corresponding setting would be slightly over
1 inch.
6.8 Probe Settings
6.8.1 Degrees to back off on stuck probe
6.8.1.1 Recommended setting is 90 degress.
6.8.2 Probe stylus diameter – The diameter of the tip of the touch probe.
6.8.2.1 If using touch probe provided, stylus diameter is 2mm. This size will vary depending on
the manufactuer of the touch probe.
6.8.2.2 Note if using inches as the primary unit of measure the diameter must be converted into
inches. 2mm is approximately 0.0787”.
6.8.3 Probe trigger adjustment – The distance the probe's internal
switch must travel before the switch is triggered.
6.8.3.1 How to calculate Probe trigger adjustment
6.8.3.2 Position the probe as close as possible without contacting
the material.
