I am currently using a DEA Swift Manual CMM machine are are having troubles with recording the measured points.You can zero the machine and calibrate the probe and then start measuring. But after say 5 minutes, the probe doesn't record most of the touches.

I am currently running a TP-20 tip. The light on the tip flashes everytime but the software doesn't receive the signal. It is hard to try to find what is wrong because it is times vary when it stops reading.

Has anyone else had troubles like this ?

Thanks

Merv
