After calculating the feature based on the points, the feature size and / or lacation is defined by adding or subtracting the radius of the stylus tip. This is called probe compensation — For example: 3 or more points are taken on the wall of an inside cylinder. A circle will be calculated through the center of the stylus tip. The diameter of the tip is then added to define the size, - Circles, Cylinders, Spheres, etc. (Round features) are easy, the stylus tip diameter is added or subtracted from the feature to determine the size — Lines, Planes (Flat features) are easy, probe compensation is made at 90° to the plane and at 90° to the line in the projection plane. To determine the location of a single point, the software must know in which direction to add or subtract the stylus tip radius. The software will add or subtract the stylus tip radius based upon the retraction direction of the stylus tip from the surface. © 205 Mae Coiabn At Raps Reco aor vyvvyvyy Vv 127Tip Compensation 2 Lets take a stylus When we retract L st from the surface in a tip of 0.200 “normal” direction, This makes the tip it would be like this. radius 0.100” or aunit of ‘1’ The actual displayed with tip radius compensation will be calculated from the center of the tip in a direction 180° relative to the retraction vector. vv VY VV¥YVYV VV Vv 128Mitutoyo Tip Compensation 3 If the retraction direction is at a 45° angle relative to the surface (as shown) the software will compensate for the tip radius to the right side of the tip ! 20s oy Capuron 38 ge Resa 129 VV VYVVYVV YY 129(Mitutoyo Tip Compensation 4 That makes this length or error 0.29289X.100 or 0293 At 45° this length is 0.70711X.100 And this length is 0.70711 X.100 Sams eye Capecatan At ans Resto 130 vVvvvvy vVvvvvvy 130© 205 Neoy Crpunion A Re Recent 431 Programming: Point Measure Measurement display shows an icon for the type of measurement and a counter displaying the current sample number out of the total number of samples.
