Step 2 - Define the Mount Point and Wrist Angle
The probe changer mount point is the location in front of the probe changer where the machine moves to before it picks up or drops off a probe. You should pick a location that avoids collisions with the probe changer, the part, clamps, or any other object in the workspace.
To define the mount point for your probe changer, follow these steps:
Select the Mount Point tab in the Probe Changer dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Probe Changer):
Probe Changer dialog box - Mount Point tab
In the Active probe changer list, select TYPE=TESASTAR-PR.
If necessary, alter the probe head wrist angle for both A angle and B angle. Often, but not always, these values are both 0 (zero). You need to use a calibrated probe rotation to ensure the probe has the ability to move in and out of the probe changer during the necessary steps of the probe rack calibration procedure.
Use your machine's jog box to manually move your machine to the desired mount point position.
Click the Read Machine button to populate the X, Y, and Z Machine position values with the current position. You can also manually type these values.
To save your changes, click Apply.
In the next step, you define the ports for your system.
