Step 5 - Take the First Manual Hit
When you start the calibration procedure for the LSPX3 / HR-X (HR-X3-P) probe changer, a series of message boxes prompts you through the process of measuring a series of manual hits. The first two hits are required to fully define the orientation of the probe changer in the machine’s XY plane. You do not need to align the probe changer to any single axis, as the manual hits identify any rotation involved. Follow the prompts and take the needed hits as shown in the pictures for each hit.
You take the first hit on the front surface on the left side of the last port. You should take the hit on the flat surface (avoid the tapered corner). The prompt for the first hit on the front surface of the last port is:
Please take a hit on the front surface on the left side of the last port (port 3). Be careful to avoid the tapered corner and take the hit on the flat portion.
Prompt for the first manual hit on the front surface of the last port
When you are ready to take the first measurement, click OK.
Use your machine's jog box to take the first manual hit in the XY plane on the vertical face on the front left face of the last port.
In the next step, you take the second manual hit.
