Speed Low

After initial first probe activation, machine will repeat measurement again, but this time at Low speed.


Measure procedures are described here: Measure menu

Related parameters

Probe Size Z

Probe Size X and Y

Radius of the stylus ball of touching probe.

Off X

In a case where probe center is not aligned with Z axis center over X axis, user can set offset value.

Off Y

In a case where probe center is not aligned with Z axis center over X axis, user can set offset value.

Probe Travel

Probe Over Edge

Probe Length

This is the distance from the tip of the probe stylus ball to the edge of the probe shoulder. This value is considered when calculating distances in the measurement procedure so that the probe is not damaged.
