Hello all
I'm sure it's been addressed but I can't find it.
I was thinking that to ensure any errors in the actual probe that made the tip off-center to the spindle, what we need is an 8 point centering routine.
the first set of points would be normal, then a delay where the probe (spindle) could be turned 1/2 around (180 deg) and the next set of points taken.
The compensated center would be 1/2 of the difference between the center of the first set and the center of the second set.
I just did this manually with my new probe and verified with a dial-ind. and it works within < .0003" over 5 tests.
How this would be written into the script to do it automatically (probe, pause, probe) I have no idea.
Anyone gone down this road before?
