They say https://www.zeiss.com/metrology/products/sensors/on-cmm/tactile-scanning-probe/rst-p.html ZEISS RST-P works according to a dual principle. This means it delivers the > actual probing pulse from the Piezo-electric elements located in front of > the kink point. The three-point bearing also serves as a mechanical kink > point that verifies probing and protects ZEISS RST-P from damage caused by > contact with the workpiece and collisions. Moreover, the deflection forces caused by the bearings and direction do not > influence the measuring result: ZEISS RST-P delivers the same accuracy in > all probing directions. Special calibration is not required for slanted > measuring or probing jobs. So it must be two NC contacts and the rest for the piezo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
