3.2.3

Stylus calibration

In most measuring cases, the measuring work with different purpose would be carried out on different coordinate plane. In order to complete these measuring work, the various stylus with different length, orientation and sphere diameter could be selected to reach the aim point. This requires the relative position between stylus sphere centres is confirmed and known. Thus, the same and correct coordinate systems could be achieved by measuring the geometry element with different stylus. The purpose of stylus calibration is to confirm each stylus parameters and their position relations between each other. Once the stylus is changed or probe head is reinstalled while the machine is working, the stylus should be recalibrated.

3.2.4

Accuracy test

Calibrate the machines resolution:

Fix the gauge on the bracket and make the gauge parallel to the measuring axis. Rotate the stylus parallel to the work plane of the gauge. Then use AC-DMIS special software to check the measuring error for this axis, and make the compensation for the axis resolution regarding to its measuring error.

Calibrate the machines perpendicularity:

Fix the gauge on the bracket and make the gauge parallel to the measuring plane. Rotate the stylus parallel to the work plane of the gauge. Then use AC-DMIS special software to make compensation to the machines perpendicularity for the 3 axis.

Check the machines spatial accuracy:

Fix the gauge on bracket, make the gauge forward to the catercorner position with the longest space and rotate the stylus parallel to the guages working plane. Then use AC-DMIS special software to measure the machines spacial accuracy.

Probing error:
Fix a 25 mm diameter precision sphere on datum tee, and put the datum tee in the middle of the worktable, then use AC-DMIS special software to measure the probing error.

Use of AC-DMIS special software:
