Hi Richard, I think i got into it like this: Make surface profile callout. Select this callout and extract MIN and MAX deviation flag. Select surface feature and use user-defined formula. Define Variable as picture Define Actual expresion like "A.coordinate.x" ( after first DOT it will popup ) I can not find a way to obtain nominal point. Alternative - you can create point from that surface MIN flag and report that.

I have too problems with translating into meaningful text. I think on newer versions of Calypso you can not delete / not use safety plane, but you can have sub clearance planes, which are used defined. But if you are asking about complex safety path, then it's not easy to do it right and safe.

Hi @Zolfagari Kaveh✌️ Welcome back to the forums. As you noticed, there was a translation not too long ago where the legacy Zeiss forum format was merged with the Zeiss Inspect (GOM Inspect) forum, and the latter was used for the unified format. The forum admin team did a great job transitioning most of the old content over to the new unified site. However, not all content and metrics made it to the new site. That being said, we are alive and well, and it's great to have you join us again. How has life in the metrology trenches been going for you? -Jeff

Hello Chaowei. I was having difficulty translating all of your text to English, so that I could understand your question. Could you please repost your question in text? It appears that you're asking a question related to clearance data and a similar feature for navigation in PC-DMIS. Thanks, and welcome to the forums. It's great to have you here.

请问各位！蔡司三坐标安全平面.如何才能像海克斯康一样.删除元素和元素之前的安全平面

专注于各种复杂性问题解决

If the tolerance range is large enough. You can use a flat ended pin gage that fits freely inside the hole and take point on it. You can then just subtract distance between beginning of cylinder (plane or point) and the point on the pin from the total length of that pin gage ( You will need to tweak this depending on if the pin is sitting above or below the beginning of cylinder). I usually use prompt for operator to input total length of pin gage to allow use of different pin gages for proper fit. Things to be careful about: The pin gage should not be chamfered or rounded at the edges. In order to create the point feature for the point on pin: 1) Create secondary alignment using the angled cylinder 2) Create new point feature using this alignment and provide appropriate X,Y, Z, i, j, and k values. 3) Use programmable stop to allow operator to put a pin before taking the point (and after as well to remove pin if needed). Add good enough clearance distance to allow clearance to put the pin in. 4) Also, change the search distance before nominal for probing to avoid collisions.

If you are looking for help with CALYPSO exporting to CSV, unfortunately it isn't possible. The closest CALYPSO supports is the table files (which are tab delimited). That usually works in most circumstances, but I can't guarantee it will for you.

Before I go down a huge rabbit hole of re-working a program, is there any way to pull the nominals for a max/min deviation that I pulled from a surface profile? I am able to access the actuals, but I need the nominals as well. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Is that part that small? It looks like 0.33mm length of a cylinder is really small compared to it's diameter. Is that something to watches? 🙂 Would be acceptable to have main axis from plane perpendicular to datum D and datum D having only circle? I think your problem is not having MMB on datum D.

Datum D is made up of single points due to the fixture interrupting the scanning process. Datum E is a tooth face. All 60 teeth use the same scan path, point density, scan speed, etc., etc. I have 4 days worth of Gear training next week so if we can't figure this out then perhaps next week will bring an answer.

I have a drawing calling out a (bi-lateral) position of a curved 3d surface. similar to a bowl. I get these types of parts all the time and normally this surface is called out as surface profile. The surface extracts as a torus. I'm baffled. Any ideas? I think the drawing is wrong.

I have seen this issue a few times from other customers. As Kyle mentioned above it is typically due to the ReportINI file being outdated. You will either want to point to the new Excel directory for the excel templates: "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Zeiss\CALYPSO 8.0\data\excel_report" Or copy the ReportINI files from the new directory into your old directory where the current templates are being used.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to verify if the scanbox is on, if the door is closed, and what measuring volume is detected through the script object window. If not through the object window, then through other means would be appreciated. Thank you

Servus, @Norbert Bendl Ich habe damit auch mal ein bisschen rumprobiert. Wenn ich die Formel in eine Bedingung packe funktioniert es tatsächlich. Mit der Formel in der Bedingung kann ich z.B. einen Programmierbaren Stop auslösen, oder auch nicht. Für die Koordinate bräuchte ich eine Formel mit IF > ELSE Bedingung. Wenn getRecordHead("dmesn")=="000000" ist soll die Verdrehung mit "0" eingetragen werden, und wenn getRecordHead("dmesn")<>"000000" der ermittelte Wert aus dem MAX-Punkt. Und da wehrt sich Calypso im Moment noch gegen. Trotzdem schon mal vielen Dank. Da bekomme ich bestimmt etwas mit hin. VG Michael

What i saw on our setup, we had definitions in "hosts" file. Somewhere should be setted ip address for your machine, because you have to set it on your pc.

Using constraints is forcing that feature to nominal values instead of actuals. So depending on alignment and actuals of features you can gain better or worse results. You should avoid this on simple checks like perpendicularity and paralelism.

There have been a few times that I have needed to increase the the value to 4... always on a Flatness evaluation on a stamped part, so that I did not discard a large chunk of "good data" on a "bad part"

Can you post your datums for this callout? To tryout purposes. You can disable bestfit on your surface profile. It won't apply unless you use no datum reference or you make an alignment from it and then use it elsewhere. I hope someone will join this thread.

I good handful of our parts have Perpendicularity callouts. Either an OD cylinder or ID cylinder to a face/plane. We mostly run to a .0005" tolerance. What is happening when I use Constraint and use the OD or ID to that face or plane it needs to be held to? I always see and reduction in the actual deviation. So if it is slightly out, let's say .00055" when go to evaluation and use Constraint and plug in the features it will reduce by .0002-.0003" making that result in spec and look great. I'm passing out of spec parts by doing this? There are certain situation when I can manually verify the part on a surface plate and other equipment. This has been working for me. Seeing manual check data and CMM, meaning they are pretty close to the same result. Just wondering what "Constraint" is doing.

I am using default filtering on both machines. I played around with filtering a little, but I am not that experienced with it. The Geometry Best Fit alignment was suggested on the forum on another profile thread. I gave it a shot, but when you switch to a feature alignment the results are nearly the same (-0.00368, 0.00331). Under the standard feature control frame the (M) option does not appear. There are 21 planes that show out of tolerance when graphical analysis is turned on. 20 planes show all out of tolerance, including starts and stops. 1 plane shows the middle third of the scan passes but the 1st and last third do not. Here is what the filters are set to for the freeform. I have also looked through the other features that are associated with this and I could not see anything out of place.

I have an update on this. Yes, almost every Icon has an image that shows how it is set-up and what fixture to use. These are all saved on a network location. What IT did is install a new Wi-Fi usb for network connection and they did a bios update. This has fixed the issue.

Additionally, you'll need to review your licenses, either in Zeiss License Management Tool, or Extras > Settings > Misc > Licenses to see if you have a CNC license. if you do not have one, that seat of CALYPSO cannot run a CMM
