Thanks for taking the time to do that. That was very in depth. Appreciated

Showing the key presses is excellent. Very good explanation of precise and accurate. Thank you.

Great video, loving the key presses on screen thank you!

Nice video! Fast paced, without unnecessary ballast, with in-depth technicalities.

I have played around a awful lot with getting the renishaw as precise and accurate as possible. There is one important thing to be taken into consideration: the precision of the gauge ring and its accuracy. Its not round. The printed dimension is not 100% correct. Reference the inspection protocol for their measuring error. The best way I have found: fix the ring as flat as possible to the machine. make sure it can´t move. make sure its not distorted. Take work offset from ring. zero over ring and validate center as perfectly as possible (even now, with micron indicator it will be quite impossible to find a "perfect zero"). Zero machine on this spot. Now calibrate from exactly this zero point, in exactly same height where the indicator was zeroed. This method improved my measuring error a lot. After calibration it´s also advisable to measure several gauge rings right away to validate the calibration went correct. I even found small differences in precisely repeated calibration processes. And of course: never chase the last micron. :)

Thank you!!! Very straightforward and clear explanation

What would be really awesome. Is a tutorial on how to program a probe routine for inspecting a part for position of 4 holes or something. Keep up the awesome videos

Thanks for the vid, subbed

i really love you vids, I subscribed and then saw that you have not posed in 2 years 😞

I use magnets to hold my caliper ring... Works great and doesn't damage your precision ring... Best, Job

If you don't have a perfect machine or vice , two things are important: Checking the ring for flatness after clamping. Checking the spindle for eccentricity.

Great video, just found your channel excellent work! One question, in this experiment the uncertainty is attributed to the probe, wouldn't it be more accurate to say this is the uncertainty of a probe in a Mini mill/system? Since errors in backlash, servo couplings, axis alignment etc all contribute to the recorded values?

Blu tac is good for securing ring gauge to table

Another awesome video, thank You. I don't fully understand the proces but I assume You check widest dimension with that probe for calibration. But in order to work, it should start from exact middle of the circle. Any 0.00000x offset changes the length of x and y reading right ?

why doesnt haas orient the spindle when calibrating the touchprobe and when probing different angles?

It would be nice to see what the ring gauge measured on a CMM and compare that with the Haas probing system. Was the gauge really 1.99996?

There was one measurement that seemed to be an outlier. Any idea what might have caused it? Also, what would be the uncertainty if that data point were ignored?

use magnets to maintain the ring.

Why does the probe tip kick out to the side like that, instead of moving to the center.

Anyways, how do you know or how can you be certian you are actually calculating the Machines repeatability? I use a probe on a machine with a whole factor of magnatiude more, precision and accuracy; cylindrical grinder. We routinely hold tenths on postion using a probe during production. repeatability of machine is .00001. (Swiss made Studer CNC). Production would be scrap if our probe and machine couldnt hold tenths. You might have better results and infact anedocatly like I say, it is possible using a different method and more accurate tooling. edit:Hass say it can hold only 0001 on position, renishaw claims in the millionths. Should have started there.

Great video, but please also show equivalent metric values on screen as you speak.
