The HR-X3-P and HR-X3-P-SF style ports have considerably different physical constructions and have different dimensional offsets. You cannot mix-and-match these port styles (at least not on FDC systems) unless you create and treat them as two separate racks. Be aware that if you do define them as two separate racks, they may not share the same mounting system.
The calibration process for the LSPX3 / HR-X (HR-X3-P) probe changer represents the steps that you would take to prepare to use any of the probe changers that PC-DMIS supports. The process discussed here is specific to the LSPX3 / HR-X (HR-X3-P) probe changer.
No inserts or extensions are used for any of the port positions.
Leitz LSPX3 / HR-X (HR-X3-P) probe changer
You must mount the rack in a horizontal orientation that your sensor can match.
The LSPX3 / HR-X (HR-X3-P) probe changer DOES NOT need to be mounted on the machine table parallel to either the X or Y axis. However, it must be oriented at an angle which matches an available wrist angle for loading and unloading. For mounting instructions, consult the documentation that came with your probe changer.
If you use X3T style probes, you need to define the A/B wrist angles that are appropriate to the orientation of the probe changer. This is not required for X3C style probes. For X3C style probes, the rigid mounting of the probe head to the CMM Ram constrains the physical orientation of the probe changer.
To calibrate your probe changer:
Step 1 - Select the LSPX3 / HR-X (HR-X3-P) Probe Changer
Step 2 - Define the Mount Point
Step 3 - Define the Number of Ports
Step 4 - Prepare for Calibration
Step 5 - Take the First Manual Hit
Step 6 - Take the Second Manual Hit
Step 7 - Take Manual Hits on the Top of Each Port
