Abstract
The present application discloses a method for calibrating a measuring probe in a gear cutting machine by using a workpiece received in a workpiece holder of the gear cutting machine, wherein the measuring probe includes a measuring probe tip which is movably arranged on a measuring probe base, wherein the deflection of the measuring probe tip relative the measuring probe base can be determined via at least one sensor of the measuring probe, and wherein the measuring probe is traversable relative to the workpiece holder via at least two axes of movement of the gear cutting machine. The method comprises rotating the workpiece via an axis of rotation of the workpiece holder and traversing the measuring probe via the at least two axes of movement of the gear cutting machine such that in the case of a perfect calibration the touch point of the measuring probe tip on the tooth flank would remain unchanged.
