settle from a rapid deceleration.
Add a short dwell before the
probing move (length of dwell will
depend on stylus length and rate
of deceleration).

Fault-finding
Symptom Cause Action
Poor probe repeatability
and/or accuracy.
Debris on part or stylus. Clean part and stylus.
Poor tool change repeatability. Redatum probe after each tool
change.
Loose probe mounting on shank
or loose stylus.
Check and tighten as appropriate.
Calibration out of date and/or
incorrect offsets.
Review probing software.
Calibration and probing speeds
not the same.
Review probing software.
Calibration feature has moved. Correct position.
Measurement occurs as stylus
leaves surface.
Review probing software.
Measurement occurs within
the machine’s acceleration and
deceleration zone.
Review probing software and
probe filter settings.
Probing speed too high or too
slow.
Perform simple repeatability trials
at various speeds.
Temperature variation causes
machine and workpiece
movement.
Minimise temperature changes.
Machine tool faulty. Perform health checks on
machine tool.
