I would be looking at Ryzen 7 Pro 9745's, with 64gb ddr5 and an RTX 2000 Pro Blackwell, if buying AMD for the production CMM's. Ryzen 9000's have pretty good single threaded performance.

I was finally able to get it working. The owner of the company that services the machine used to work for sheffield. He got me the right switch settings, after sending pictures of my old boxes and the new one. Problem was while in the middle of my attempts to get things to work, I did a driver update of the NZDI driver. That was a bad idea. 2022 isn't supposed to work on Win 11, and you have to do things just right, with regards to service pack and such to make it work. So had to uninstall everything Calypso and SQL, use an older revision of CCleaner to get rid of all lingering registry entries, as the latest version failed to do so. Reinstalled everything, and was able to get the software working again. Now just getting all of my stylus systems setup, and qualified again. So far, it's working. Tomorrow, I will work on some base alignments, if the qualifcation is successful.

I think the plot orientations are related to the alignment of the feature? You could theoretically either assign a different alignment to the feature and/or recall features into new constructed features and assign alignments to them that would generate the plot orientation you want. Less than elegant, but it should work in a pinch.

Thanks for your replies. @Chad Watton i didn't know there is such solution - but i think very outside our possible budget 😞 But definitelly i'll keep it in head for later problems 🙂 @Wojciech Malig and @Perry Steever2 very nice tools - i'll try to find something similar in our reach - i think it's better invested money, than buying new sphere, tips and tryharding solution with noone would sign under that measurement 🙂 Also if anyone has another solution i am one ear 🙂 Thanks a lot.

This forum is my failure simulation minigame 😄😄 (neat idea!)

I believe all of the math determinations would be made by the compiler at compile time. The compiled code would return the same results on any system that would run it, so this sort of verification is appropriate (Correct me if wrong?)

Some microscope software can create a 3d topology that you can then section like an optical comparator. I'm thinking of the Zeiss AxioZoom and Keyence VHX. We used to have the Zeiss AxioZoom but now use the Keyence VHX. You'll have to cut the part to get the inner threads under the microscope. I just measured flank angle on a thread this morning using our Keyence VHX.

Close the Status Window, then restart it. Im pretty sure it clears itself.

Or this: https://willrich.com/product/fowler-screw-threads/ I'm not sure you'll be able to measure the thread that small. We do check the pitch diameter on some threads, but you would need a stylus close in size the the thread wire for that pitch. What's the pitch on that thread btw?

Something I saw recently and was interested in was an internal thread mic found here: https://willrich.com/product/multi-ball-internal-thread-micrometer/

Hi, I am facing a problem with customer stating small inner thread. I would need to measure all what can be measured. We have: Accura with VAST XT head -> what probes and cal. spheres we need? ATOS 5 MV500 -> only measurement with cutted part to examine thread - i believe we would need much smaller MV ( around 50 or 100 ) Contourgraph -> we have only onsided blade - i am not sure how to connect two contours scanned with two tips ( one - only Z+ - second only Z- ) Any ideas what would we need to properly measure this small thread ( a hole thats above ⌀20 mm )? I would use Accura - buy two small tips ( R < 0.5mm ), DK 8 cal. sphere and make holder to have both tips against each other to be able to measure oposing curves. We would like to have at least something to show - thread caliper is used, but this is not enough ( told by higher ups ) Thanks for suggestions and tips.

@Martin Jánský.2 is right, that is the only option within PiWeb: But you cannot choose a mirror axis as you could within the "old" Protocol (i also couldnt figure out about what axis the rotation gets done): In your case i would suggest to turn the CAD View to match the PiWeb Plot as an "easy" solution. In general an entry in the "My Voice" Area within the Zeiss Portal would be a good idea to ask for the same functionality as it was in the "old" protocol. Best Regards Marcel

Use 3D line from center to center ( aka use "recall" - not recall features or recall measured points )

Hallo, PiWeb ist nicht auf die OpenAI- oder Azure-OpenAI-Endpunkte beschränkt. Es unterstützt auch OpenAI-kompatible APIs. Damit können grundsätzlich weitere Anbieter und Modelle angebunden werden, sofern sie eine entsprechende Schnittstelle bereitstellen – beispielsweise OpenRouter, die Google-API, die Anthropic-API etc. Statt der Modellsuche muss bei diesen Anbietern der Modellname händisch eingetragen werden.

Hi, how do you capture an angle starting from an origin point? I have tried angle between two features, angle of rotation and no luck. I am trying to capture this 57.2 angle. I have built symmetrys from centerline, 2 lines/3d lines. Please help !

In PiWeb designer you can create a template where you can have this graph mirrored. Go to editor - click on "Pages" and select "Plot" page Now in "Structure" expand tree in "Main section -> Roundness template -> Roundness" and click "Properties" Find "Mirrored" and check it. That's the only option.

Well, yes, technically. But that certificate only confirms that the results calculated by Zeiss (based on a point set generated and provided by the PTB) are the same as the ones the PTB has calculated themselves. It does not contain any information about the hardware architecture on which those tests were performed.

I use CALYPSO on a Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX with 128 GB RAM and an RTX A4000. The hardware is expensive enough to make you regret bad decisions, yet speed is not something CALYPSO regularly impresses me with. My advice: focus on strong single-core performance. More CPU cores don't help much when the software still behaves as if parallel processing were some kind of futuristic technology. And yes, I still remember ZEISS recommending a Xeon processor. To this day, I'm not entirely sure why. My best guess is that if CALYPSO isn't going to run any faster, at least the invoice should look impressive.

Hi, haben Sie an eine Funktion wie diese gedacht? ZEISS PiWeb Interaktive Berichte | intuitiv und einfach

Hi Monika, PiWeb can provide control charts and export measurement results as CSV files for further processing in Excel. These functions are available with PiWeb Reporting Plus and PiWeb Essential. However, automatic notifications when a part is out of tolerance require PiWeb Enterprise. Therefore, the standard PiWeb version included with CALYPSO 8 would not cover all the listed requirements.

Hi, I would ask you to contact your local support team and raise a ticket so that we can analyse the error. Thank you.

Thank you both @Chad Watton, @Richard Shomaker. The alignments should be obvious but I have never used maximum coordinate for anything I have done. As for recalling feature points into another curve then calling that into circle, I also would not have thought of that. I will give these a shot tonight.

You have to have a dimension from GD&T to enable MMR ( there must be an dimension from this )

From an AI query. Things to look at.
