OFFLINE PROGRAMMING ALIGNMENT ISSUE
I have a question / problem with a part I'm programming offline. I initially saved the cad file in position from the cad software so when I import the file it comes in on the three-jaw furniture I created. So I don't have to move the part once in the CMM environment. The issue seems to be that when I run this on the machine I end up with it crashing about midway through the program (there are 134 lines total in program) which I'm only showing a small portion. I have the CMM take measurements to establish the three datums and attempt to lock everything down. I have attached some pictures to help give a visual. Watching it run, it appears to almost wander a bit as it goes around the outside diameter points. I thought once I had established the proper coordinate system and had the cad synced, this wouldn't be an issue. Do I have to periodically re-sync the program? It shows green check mark through the entire program. This is ultimately how we plan to program our parts offline going forward so I really need to get this one correct so we have something to use as a teaching tool. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
