Tip Manager - Add more Columns
Is there a way to add more Columns? E.g. last calibration date..
Vision only alignment?
Hi, I am currently playing with the trial software to assess whether we want to go ahead with purchasing. I am interested in using ONLY vision tools for this assessment. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do a basic alignment. Any software
Measure True Position from Plane
Is this possible? Cause in the True Position Command I can only select Points, Circles, Cylinders.. But no Plane.. Don't want to use only a Point..
Probe calibration question
My tip calibration Deviation is high, around .0015", is this normal or should this be lower. Also, I have checked the diameter of several ring gages and they are always off around .0006". Any feedback or recommendations is appreciated. Thanks
RTP20 pole issues
I run a program with the RTP20 probe at a 90 degree angle. In the program it changes to another angle using the "Get tip" feature. I ran the program 4 times without a problem, when I tried a 5th time the probe release arm misses the pole completely, subsequently
new to cmm...basic help
I will go ahead and apologize in advance. I am brand new to EVERYTHING CMM. I took the 3 day basic training but it was just to much information for someome who has never seen a CMM. Apart from turning on the machine and homing it, I know nothing. i just
Linking between holes
We have many parts with over 100 holes and for some reason linking between them does not always happen correctly. We are fairly new to CMM manager but can't seem to figure out why this happens. Another issue that also came up was the path wanting to stay
UCC Server Guardian
Does anyone know how to enable Messaging Service in UCC Server? This is the message I get when opening Guardian.
How to control Approach vectors?
I have a part with a cylinder coming out from the side. CMM Manager keeps trying to approach from the side where the main body interferes. How to I force it to come at it from the open end of the cylinder? Is there a "Toggle Bias direction" somewhere?
Report Profile line and surface.
Hello, I have a doubt concerning the result obtained concerning the profile of a line or a surface. Shouldn't the value obtained be multiplied by 2?
CYLINDERS: How do you reverse the vector for checking cylinders
I have a part that has a cylinder feature at an angle that I cannot reasonably measure the ID of and so as an alternative I want to use a pin and check the pin to see how close I am. When I select the cylinder feature and try to reverse the vector qx
VB Script needed
I know its possible in Visual basic to do this and Mike York said so as well. I have 2 radii on the x axis and 2 radii on the y axis and I need a average from the 4 measurements to get a diameter of a circle at either the max distance of the radii or
HOLE PATTERN: REPORTING FEATURES UPGRADE
When creating a uniform hole pattern and using transform, is there any way to include reporting the true position of the feature and having the nominals applied to the corresponding hole so I don't have to report each feature separately after the hole
Re-Aligning a Program
I have a program I wrote using a saved alignment, and it also has a manual alignment. I usually add the manual alignment for the first time I run it then disable it for production. The program I am currently running was good for our first operation(part
best fit cone from extracted points measured on cylinder, offline programming
I have a cylinder that when machined comes out as a slight cone. I am interested in reporting on a best fit cone (distance between other features, feature itself for cone angle, etc reports). I measure this cylinder, then extract the points, then I
Radial Features
Anyone have any experience with measuring size and location of radial features? We have a part that is essentially a steel hoop with a bunch of rectangular windows cut into the outside surface. In order to reach most of the features, we have it oriented
Remoing Point from Hole Pattern
Hello All, We run a lot of prototypes and when checking first off pieces sometimes a hole can be missed during programming. Can this hole be skipped in the program under Hole Pattern? If we ignore while running, it skips the rest of the pattern. I have
Multiple True positions to slot feature
We are having some issues interpreting these true position call outs on the slot. What would be the best way to apply the difference in tolerance from the width to the length? (i.e. separate the lines from arcs?) How would you apply Datum-B to the width
