This conical seat target is useful for calibrating ball probes.

In sets of three or more, they turn into leapfrog or tube move targets that help VTube-LASER operators measure parts longer than the FARO arm reach using the arm leapfrog or tube move.

Features

  • The targets use a magnetic base to attach to any metalic surface or metal spring clamp.

  • They are good for standard 3 or 6 millimeter FARO probes.

  • The pillar finish is industrial-grade glossy white finish.

Leapfrog the Arm Over the Tube

  • As of version 1.91, VTube can leapfrog the arm over the tube in the middle of any measurement. In order to accurately leapfrog the arm over the tube, it is necessary to pause the regular measurement and measure 3 more more points in space using the ball probe before and after the leap or move. Then, after the leap, the arm measures the same points in the same order.

  • In the image on the right, the targets are attached to the base of the tube clamp. This allows the arm to leap the part and continue measuring. Any number leaps can be combined to measure any distance.

Start a Leapfrog Measurement

Press the Leap button in the guide box at any time during a measurement.

The Steps for Leapfrog

Orangecircle number1.png Place at least 3 targets as far from the arm as possible in the direction you want to leap.

Orangecircle number2.png Press the LEAP button in the guide window on the left.

Orangecircle number3.png Measure the targets with the ball probe. Press the green button to measure each target.

Orangecircle number4.png Press the red button to finish the initial measure.

Orangecircle number5.png Without moving the targets or the tube, leap the arm over the targets to a new position.

Orangecircle number6.png Measure the targets with the ball probe. Press the green button to measure each target.

Orangecircle number7.png Press the red button to finish the measure.

Orangecircle number8.png The leap is complete. Continue measuring where you left off before.

Move the Tube During Measure

It is also possible to move the tube if you attach the targets securely to the tube, then use the leapfrog feature. For example, you can use a standard metal spring clamp to attach to the tube, then place the magnetic target on the clamp handle.

The Steps for Tube Move

Orangecircle number1.png Place at least 3 targets on the tube. The three targets should not form a single line.

Orangecircle number2.png Press the LEAP button in the guide window on the left.

Orangecircle number3.png Measure the targets with the ball probe. Press the green button to measure each target.

Orangecircle number4.png Press the red button to finish the initial measure.

Orangecircle number5.png Move the tube and the targets to the new position relative to the arm.

Orangecircle number6.png Measure the targets with the ball probe. Press the green button to measure each target.

Orangecircle number7.png Press the red button to finish the measure.

Orangecircle number8.png The move is complete. Continue measuring where you left off before.
