Overall, Pre-Travel or Diameter Variation:
Battery life, loose stylus, probing speed altered,
probe run out
X, Y or Z Variation:
Loose stylus, sphere position changed
Mechanical failure (scales/encoder, bearings, lubrications damage etc)
Backlash
Flatness, squareness and straightness
Mechanical failure:
(bearings, lubrications, scales/encoder damage etc)
Rotary axes not square to linear axes
Backlash in rotary axes
OR
Parameter Error:
Axis pivot points out of alignment
Dual or single rotary axis eccentricity

Rotary axes not square to linear axes
Backlash in rotary axes
OR
Parameter Error:
Axis pivot points out of alignment
Dual or single rotary axis eccentricity
Spindle position mechanism is faulty
Tool arbor is not locking or sitting correctly in the spindle
Machine XYZ not repeatable
It is important to solve this before performing any other checks
Mechanical errors on the machine scales or bearings
Manually examining probe, sphere, resetting
sphere position and then recalibrating probe
Use a ballbar for further investigation
Using a strain gauge probe to improve accuracy
Checking probe battery
Manual DTI or laser calibration or ballbar on small machines
DTI or rotary laser calibration to solve:
ballbar for further analysis
OR
Axiset, 3D Quickset, Mazacheck or
other controller parameters

OR
Axiset, 3D Quickset, Mazacheck or
other controller parameters
Manually examining the probe, spindle and arbour
Assess the machine and probe individually to determine which is at fault
