I am not sure if Calypso is using this angle - i would believe it will use only origin. But you could use some theoretical feature combined with this angle by formulas.

It's turned part, so i would scan just lines in part axis ( as viewed ) For small lines i usually do points instead of scan. If curve is available, then you can scan curve - make alignment from bestfit of curve to have correct data for small lines.

I'm interested, located in Europe however PM me when it's allowed for you to work with non-US guys

Check the complementary angle (20)°, to see if there is something wrong with your theoretical plane or if the angle is 60°.

Does anyone remember how to set a new master password? Or where to look up where passwords are stored in the program files? Its for nothing shady I swear. I inherited a cmm from Germany and don't know any of the master/user passwords on the cmm computer. Feel free to PM me instructions if you don't want to post it on the forum. I know there used to be the FAQ about where to go into the files and change it.

Good evening, how can I calculate this angle? I created a theoretical plane by placing it at the intersection, but it gives me a result of 60° Any help is appreciated, thank you

Hallo, wie die Überschrift bereits sagt möchte ich die Ellipse als sekundären Bezug verwenden, aber sie bleibt weiter verdreht: Wie kann ich der Ellipse sagen das sie die Verdrehung vorgibt im Startwinkel?

It works well; we have one folder per CMM for the measurement points and results. The base... is local on the CMM PC anyway. Like @Richard Shomakersaid, it’s just a matter of measuring simultaneously.

Hi everyone, I didn't even realize that GOM/Zeiss Inspect supports the 3D SpaceMouse. It would be great if they extended this support to VMR robot control as well. I have an idea regarding this; if you think it's a good one, please vote for it. https://portal.zeiss.com/my-voice/software/metrology/product/eaafdea8-9296-485d-82c1-cc6d1ca0eca2/request/e6a3c082-d85a-4fcb-a0e2-c9602e931f5f

As long as both users aren't actively trying to "program" at the same time - there are no issues with having the exact same measurement plan open at the exact same time. Though I would recommend that anyone who has operators should actively be using AutoRun instead of the native GUI of Calypso.

What happens when two or more CMM's have the same program open, maybe not at the same time, they could be seconds to hours apart from each other. For network control and running from the local drive, I created an interface that lets users copy files from the network location to the local drive. They can't delete or paste to the master network location, if edits are performed, they are logged in an excel workbook Rev History worksheet, the files are then moved to a "transfer folder" based on the CMM they were run on (In my case we have multiple versions installed), reviewed for the edits and either denied or approved. If edits are denied, the parts ran are reviewed for the results, if the edits are approved a designee moves the files to the master network folder, prior to the move the original is appended "- History (date) (Initials). History files are moved to a "#History" folder. Users login to the app, perform actions (all actions are logged) and file restrictions are handled in the app.

I see the minor diameter being controlled for location in the TP of .010, the actual thread is TP .000L typically by Pitch Diamter and the Pitch Diameter would allow for a tolerance for the modifier L. Also, you have a virtual shift condition for -F- based on the minor diameter tolerance. Chamfers are a product of the minor diameter drilled hole and are typically controlled from the title block with something like:

The **tempFileString** mentioned above is actually the App's UUID which you can find in the App's properties or its `metainfo.json` file (App Explorer).

Does anyone know if generateTabelColumn() is somehow able to control the position of a newly inserted column? (for example, insert as 15th column from the left) We want to import such a table to a CAQ system, and for this we need to order a custom import module. Now the manufacturer requests example files and I'm not even sure if the file I provide today will always look the same in the future, because I can't control where generateTable Column() puts a new column. Of course they could make the import module search for the column name first, but this would make it more complex, as in "more expensive".

Ein Versuch bisher: Je eine Seite wird mit einem Formwerkzeug hergestellt. Ich habe die Schräge oben und unten mit einer Geraden gescannt, einen Schnittpunkt gemacht für Z null und dann einen Punk für das Maß 21,2. Der Schnitt und der Punkt für 21,2 bilden ein Koordinatensystem von wo ich dann oben und unten einen Raumpunkt auf der schräge mache die genau 2,74mm ergeben. Danach eine Gerade daraus gemacht und den Rest dazu auszuwerten. Mal sehen wie stabil das funktioniert.

As far as as position on a countersink. You will presumably machine both the thread and csink at the same time, theoretically they should be close within a few tenths. Since they give you 0.235" max and a regular NASM csink for .138-32 helicoil is 0.180" - 0.210", you can give yourself a massive tolerance by machining the diameter within that range. Unless I got totally confused by LMC and how it works here.

Since they are giving you the direction to measure the minor diameter of the thread - here is how I typically measure those types of features. 4 or 5 linear scans; slow with very tight point spacing; 1/3 stdDev outlier looped 3 times. This will remove the majority of the points where the stylus falls into the "pitch" of the thread. Give it a shot, and I hope it nets what you are looking for.

Assuming latest asme 14.5 What do you do with it and how do you do it on the CMM? My thoughts are that the Ø.000L position would apply to the thread and the countersink too; 14.5 doesnt mention much about countersinks but it does say that coaxial features "such as counterbores" (which a countersink is also a coaxial feature) would share the same positional tolerance since it is listed under. But putting LMC on a Max feature? Secondly, the position of the thread itself. Customer has a spec that defines position of a thread to be the pitch diameter, which isn't something we can measure size of. To get any result off the pitch diameter I need thread locators. But then still no tolerance off LMC. So I would first have to try to measure the minor dia, using a max inscribed cylinder with some vertical scan paths to try to get a size to calculate for MMB on -F-, then try to measure the countersink diameter if possible (which might not even exist due to the magic of MAX limits), then install locators and measure and ignore all the LMC since I cant apply it and only rely on MMB from -F-?

In the past, I've taken to excel output as presented by Calypso, and added an additional sheet with our company formatted report. Use basic excel function to copy numbers from the Calypso sheet to the company sheet. Save the excel file as the part number, and delete the actuals on the Calypso sheet. Then reference this excel workbook with the program. Calypso will fill in the data on the first sheet, and excel function will populate the data into the company formatted report.

Anyone else having trouble getting into the portal? I click sign in, page loads, then loads back into the login screen. Seems to happen every once in a while.

These Picatinny Rails were designed to either by measured optically or with a hard gage.

Thank you... i can Frankenstein most of this and I believe I can get it to work now... thank you.. thank you.

Together with @Calyps089 we found culprit - it was corrupted "actuals" file carrying text with header info ( like file "protheadpara" ) This file is loaded with program and holds actual data ( calculated ones ) so it can be empty or missing to freely open program 🙂

Yes you can run from a network drive just be aware there can be issues with the programs running slower or having hang ups if the network is having issues.
