IV. Probe Measurement:

1. Probe operating principle:
The probe is a component of the measurement system. When the probe tip comes into contact with the workpiece being measured, the deformation of the probe tip triggers the probe mechanism to generate a signal, which, after processing, yields the measurement results and achieves the intended detection purpose.
2. Sources of Measurement Error in Probe Measurements
Ambient temperature and humidity, the stiffness of the material composing the probe tip, the accuracy of the probe tip itself, the coaxiality between the thread on the probe tip and the thread on the probe shank, the accuracy of the thread on the probe shank, and the contact position between the probe tip and the workpiece being measured.
It is recommended to calibrate the probe when performing precision measurements; otherwise, measurement accuracy will be reduced.
3. Principles for Probe Selection
3.1. The diameter of the measuring ball should be as large as possible to minimize the impact of surface roughness of the measured workpiece on the measurement results.
3.2. The probe should be as short as possible; the shorter the probe, the less it bends or deforms, and the higher its accuracy.
3.3. Minimize the number of joints—each additional connection point introduces a potential source of bending and deformation.
3.4. Probe connection type: threaded or straight-shank connection
3.5. Basic components of the spherical threaded connection straight probe: probe tip, probe stem, probe handle, extension rod, anti-collision protective base, and others.

Probe measurement includes two menus: “Probe Measurement” and “3D Auxiliary Measurement.”
The “Probe Measurement” menu is primarily used for performing single measurements on objects and includes the following commands:
Probe Settings: Perform some routine settings for the probe, including probe calibration, etc.
Horizontal line measurement: Used to measure straight lines parallel to the horizontal plane.
Horizontal circle measurement: Used to measure circles parallel to the horizontal plane.
Spatial Point Measurement: Used to measure any arbitrary point in space; this command requires the setting of a reference plane.
Spatial Line Measurement: Used to measure any straight line in space; this command requires setting a reference plane.
Spatial Circle Measurement: Used to measure any circle in space; this command requires setting a reference plane.
Solution Settings: Used to define the compensation method for spatial points, lines, and circles, such as whether to project them onto the reference plane, and so forth.
Height measurement: Used to measure the distance of an object along the Z-axis.
Planar measurement: Use a probe to acquire at least 3 points to fit a plane, thereby obtaining this...
Planar parameters such as flatness.
Sphere measurement: Use a probe to obtain at least 4 points for fitting a sphere, thereby determining parameters such as the sphere’s diameter.
Cylinder Measurement: Use a probe to collect 6 points for fitting a cylinder. This command requires setting a reference plane.
Cone Measurement: Use a probe to acquire 6 points for fitting a cone. This command requires setting a reference plane.
Geometric Tolerance Measurement: Flatness, Parallelism, Perpendicularity, and Inclination.
Note: The probe features an automatic rebound protection mechanism designed to prevent collisions. The collision speed and rebound distance can be set independently according to measurement requirements. The Yixin probe automatic measurement system ensures smooth contact between the probe and the workpiece surface, as well as stable and continuous force application, thereby enhancing the repeatability and accuracy of measurements. The Z-axis probe’s automatic rebound function effectively protects against severe impacts, improving the product’s durability and reliability. The measurement data generated by the Yixin probe automatic measurement system can be exported in IGS format and imported into 3D software such as UG and TRE.

V. Feature Description

Machine-designed Scientific rigor, rationality, material selection, and manufacturing process standards
Given the requirement for measurement accuracy as high as (1.9 + L/150), the measurement data is transmitted to the computer via the fastest and most reliable LAN interface. Compared to the commonly used USB connection, LAN offers the following distinct technical advantages: (1) It exhibits superior anti-interference performance, offering greater reliability and stability, and enabling long-distance data transmission; (2) LAN boasts faster data transfer speeds than USB. Our company’s dedicated controller features a simple hardware architecture with few, neatly arranged connections, making it convenient for both installation and maintenance. Both the machine base platform and the Z-axis are crafted from high-quality Class 00 granite. Furthermore, the straightness of all guideways and moving components has been precisely measured using an alignment instrument, ensuring compliance with our company’s stringent straightness standards.
Currently, all machines in the ATM series undergo a “burn-in measurement” of 2,000 cycles before leaving the factory. We use a glass ruler and measure repeatedly—500 times in each of four directions on the work surface: X, 45 degrees, Y, and 135 degrees—totaling 2,000 measurements. For each measurement of an 180 mm length, we record all the data collected. The maximum and minimum dimensional deviations must be kept within 2 μm before the machines are released for shipment!
  

F1 High-Precision, Fully Closed-Loop, Autofocus Telecentric Lens—Key Features:
A high-precision, high-resolution ring optical encoder—specifically developed and designed by our company for the F-1—is used for full closed-loop position feedback.
High resolution, full closed-loop position feedback eliminates image magnification repeatability errors caused by gear transmission backlash, significantly improving the overall measurement repeatability of the machine.
The ring grating has a resolution 20 times higher than that of the previous-generation zoom lens.

Yixin Telecentric Lens vs. Non-Telecentric Lens
 

Imaging with a non-telecentric lens can introduce perspective distortion, leading to testing errors.
Using a telecentric lens corrects for distortion in the light source image, thereby improving measurement accuracy.
