3d scanning probe multiaxis

hi guys,

just made a 3d probe using the 3 rods lying on spheres technique.

I have scanned some models with Mach 3 and it's really cool!

this one looks very nice also!

for the price it is I beleive a excellent deal and design looks ok.
considering manufacturing cost, I would say that this is not achievable for me.lol

.

by the way, I didn t indicated but for the jet model, I did 98000 touch and it just seems perfect repeatability so far.


I saw that he also use it as an height probe to set up tools...

I personnaly use a different technique...I have a piece on 10mm aluminium block linked to one wire and the tool connected to the second one...

I was not able to verify centering on mine but as far as I can see it is not moving as the circuit board is fixed to the base of the body...if the probe is secured strait in the tool holder, I shall be also strait...at least in my machine this is the result.

anyway, I have done this probe for myself and as I found it very good, I wanted to share it with others if interested.

thanks,
