Hole Compensation Method - 7-Axis with Guidance

1238888

Perform the Hole Compensation using the FARO probe compensation cone. If the Guidance check box is selected for the current probe, use the following steps.

Figure 3-40 Hole Compensation - 7-Axis with Guidance

If you are using the Quantum Max Extension Adapter and have created an angled probe, click the check box to record a rotation position point during the probe compensation. See Using the Quantum Max Extension Adapter.

Collect all of the points in this method by holding down the green Front button. The Quantum Max will collect points as fast as possible (“scanning”) until you release the green Front button. Digitize at least 200 points in each of the ten different sweep positions.

  1. Place the ball probe in the compensation cone. Start in a vertical position.

  1. Press and hold the green Front button and move the handle down until the shaft of the probe is parallel with the top of the cone.

  • Sweep back up and down until the minimum amount of points are digitized.

  1. Release the green Front button and move to the next position.

  1. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the remaining five positions.

  1. Press the red Back button to finish.

  1. Digitize points in the hole and rotate the handle to position #4.

  1. Press the red Back button to finish.

The probe must be well-seated in the hole when digitizing all compensation points. Even one or two poorly digitized points significantly affects the optimization process, which then has an effect on the accuracy of the Quantum Max.

The digitized compensation points then calculate and the Compensation Status updates.

If the probe passes, the current date and time is added to the probe information.
