ABSTRACT:
This invention contemplates a rapid method of calibrating probe-pin combinations, such as star probes or rotary-swing probes, which method is applicable when the probe system forms part of or is coupled to the control system of a measuring machine wherein a self-centering probe of workpieces is possible. The calibration procedure employs a calibration standard having a plurality of probe-centering elements distributed over its surface and facing in different directions, the positional geometry of these elements being stored in the computer of the measuring machine. Each of the individual probe balls is successively introduced into a centering element which is accessible. Thereupon, the position of each ball-center point is determined in the computer, from the stored positional data and the pre-established diameter of corresponding probe balls.
