Hi, my friends. I have this kind of demand in drawing: I`m little bit confused about what I need to put in calculation of fHbeta? Is this correct, nominal value, slope modification, will it calculate correctly high point of crowning? And what is this FhbetaC?

Tom, Könnte das Problem vielleicht von der Basiseinheit unter dem Controller ausgehen? Dies ist eine separate Einheit unterhalb aller Karten, die mit der Zeit ausfallen kann: Temperatur.... I think there's also a relay installed that fails sporadically. Can you connect a monitor to the PC? I think you can see somewhere that the signal is constantly changing. I just can't remember where.

Hallo Herr Muehl, die Vorlagen liegen Lokal ab, nicht im Netzwerk. Es ist die neuste Softwareversion von 2025.

Hello Darci, you have several areas that are "standard" geometrical elements. you dont need rps in my opinion. There seems to be a funtional area where something will be plugged in (zylinder) and two face plates to adapt it to a larger assembly. Yor alignment should represent this. Something like this for example:

Any news regarding this issue?

Thank you.. That's exactly how my thoughts go too. It's fun to hear how you others do it and what your routines are.

Finally remembered to get a file attached! This happened today on a program that has ran 2-3x previously with no issues. 1765496662.act

Thanks for the suggestion. I have never heard of that type of alignment, so I will look into that!

Wow thank you! What program did you use to make those illustrations? I am sure the cost wouldn't be approved any time soon for me to be able to get it, but it sure looks swell!

Would I need to do anything special to account for the fact that the side plane would not be perpendicular to the table?

It's been a big headache for me and several others too. And it's not just 1 problem - It seems to affect different machines differently. For me, the execution mode is insanely slow. Sometimes it will take a single feature 10-20 minutes to execute.

DWC, That was the answer I needed. Thank you for all the help!

@BlueSky Sorry to be delivering this news - but no.

No, the new datum was never measured for the parts that I need to pull measured points from. Is this still possible?

@Justin Mark Thanks for the edit. I haven't had to do this yet, but it is good to know.

There's no plot function for a free form surface. In very simple terms, you'll need to create a CAD Presentation by starting in CAD > Evaluation > Check Display. Set up the view and other settings. Click Manage views. Create and save a view. Click CAD presentation.,

anyone notice that Can, May, Must = CMM

@BlueSky Was the new datum measured in the old program? If so, yes.

I have the profile option here. Is this the one your referring to ? Where is the enable visual evaluation ?

DWC, Thank you again! To my original post, there was a change within the program after the part was ran to one of the datums attached to the true position characteristic. Is it still possible to obtain x, and y coordinates even after there was a change to those datums? (I was able to get the x,y coordinates for some of the parts since they were ran after the change within the program)

The first message is the more concerning to me. Not reading the chip ID can indicate a lot of different things, but it basically breaks down into not getting the data on the ID chip to the controller. The second message is just something you are going to see from time to time with passive heads because they cannot react to deformations and unexpected locations like an active head can. See https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=443336 for more information.

You can, but it depends on the exact callout whether or not you absolutely need. The primary use case for the best fit bore pattern is to move patterns together relative the the DRF rather than individually.

Do you use bore pattern for composite and single segment position?

That is very helpful!

@Darci Burch Use the CAD file to create a reference point system (RPS) alignment. This is a common alignment system used in the auto industry for things like body panels that lack standard geometries. There are threads on here about RPS alignments in Calypso. I haven't used RPS alignments all that much in Calypso, but I do remember that looping the RPS alignment at least 3X is important. Hopefully someone with more RPS alignment experience chimes in. Best of luck sir.
