I've got a Fidia K5 tracer probe that was used on a Jobs 5 axis gantry style machining center. The company that owned this made complex molds for BMW and others. Was this tracer used by running the probe end over (complex) shapes ? And if so, unlike a CMM where one can manually control the position of the probe, how does one do so on a cnc machine ? Do you program it "close" by inputing the major hills and valleys of the part, or do you run the probe over the part via the electronic handwheels of the control ? or ?
Also, is this probe likely to be useable only for Fidia controls ?
