Retract distance = (hole dia - probe dia) / 2 Clearance distance on a circle or cylinder is parallel to the axis.

Good morning/Evening! -Currently working in Zeiss Inspect 2025 utilizing Atos 5 Scanbox system. I have a program for a Right hand part that works great and would like to just swap out the CAD with the Left hand version. Each time I try this, the measurement series reorganizes all the scanning positions and throws collision errors. The fixturing is identical and the part is a perfect mirror. Is there a simple way to just mirror my current CAD model and just re-add the two callouts that i have?

Maybe you can try healing the model again? Hope that works?

Thank you for the support Maciej

Nominal and vectors in the Polyline can cause this effect, if they are not absolute zero the results will be based off the nominal value for Z. If your vectors in the polyline are not normal, it could have an effect.

Curious if there is a way without PCM to automatically close the Gear Pro program after the PDF report is generated at the end of the run?

The .1mm would place your stylus in the center from Nominal, not from actual, but it should work out. As for the Clearance Distance, use the default then set the speed to 10. The stylus will move into the hole very slowly. Got to: Resources Feature settings editor Travel Speed (Set to 10).

Sweet. We have a new machine coming in with the articulating head but our current does not have it.

Hallo Messtechniker, mit der neuen ISO GPS muss ich mich noch anfreunden. Habe ein Zahnrad mit einer Abdachung. Die Planfläche am Zahnrad ist Bezug A , die Bohrung Bezug B, der volle Zahn Bezug C. Die Abdachung soll symmetrisch zum vollen Zahn sein. Mit der alten Version (ich weiß , dass ich diese noch anwenden kann ) war es einfacher. Ich hätte A und B ausgerichtet bei C einen Symmetriepunkt gemessen und dann die beiden abgedachten Flächen geschnitten. Den Schnittpunkt konnte man dann als Symmetrie auswerten. Ein Schnittpunkt funktioniert mit der neuen ISO GPS nicht mehr. Wollte auf diesen schrägen Flaächen auch keinen Symmetriepunkt messen. Habt ihr eine Idee so etwas sicher zu messen? Danke!

Calypso 2025. I am logged in as the Master. Not sure what RDS is.

A few questions to get the ball rolling. Which version of Calypso are you using? Are you logged in as Master? Is your simulation using a probe with RDS?

I'm attempting to get my Planner setup but my Create RC List button is grayed out. What am I doing wrong?

UPDATE Boy is my face RED..... I just selected the centerline feature.... DOH

In the example below, I'm looking for a way to measure the distance from the centerline of a cylindrical part relative to a datum created from a perpendicular construction (bliue). The angle was measured from the small cylinder to the perp construction. I'm just having a brain cramp over the distance. thanks in advance.

Retract distance is the distance off the wall for a cylinder, and it is based on ball center. So Retract=( Radius of the hole-Radius of the probe) should put it right down the middle, if the hole is at nominal position (A system cant adjust to a position that it doesn't know yet, so it has to run to the nominal). As Dustin indicated, 0.1 for retract in this case

set your clearance distance to 0 and retract distance to .1

First is there a setting, utility, plan...something to direct the stylus to approach and retract from the center of a circle when scanning a circle? Because this makes perfect sense... If not, my clearance data is at -.8MM and still off center. So negatives don't work. Thanks.

Hi All, I am using Calypso 2023 and when I do a calibration program I still use Std.dev formula to check sigma and radius. Is there any easier and quicker method ?

Hi Everyone, My name is Maciej and I work at 3Dconnexion. Earlier this year, I noticed this issue on the ZEISS forum, and we were able to fix it. After installing the latest 3Dconnexion driver, you should be able to reverse the movement and rotation axes as well as adjust the movement speed. We have implemented these changes for ZEISS INSPECT and ZEISS CALYPSO. I hope your experience with our devices will now be even better Best regards Maciej Fornal

Memory, however much you have, double it and then some. Open the tower and pour sticks in. Even the Zeiss provided computers come very under powered.

The alignment was from a 3d line along Z axis and I also had another 3d line constructed from two circles paths along the X axis. I noticed that the planar rotation was affecting the direction as the alignment trihedron was inverted to the part in Z axis. I adjusted the planar and it looks like it works fine now. Thanks all!

Thank you for the response! I eventually got a program to cooperate and keep the model along the Y axis. Then my loop would never initialize. I was hitting the thread chamfer. I moved the point to the actual thread and the loops finally initialized. However, whenever I replace the part and give the part a very slight rotation, the thread scan doesn't line up. I added a formula to move in the Y AXIS but was unsuccessful. now using simulation so I don't take up the CMM. base alignment with the thread point.

My guess is your strategy circle path has a start height of 3.2, should be zero. Look at the feature and show the nominal circle and the measured points and see if they line up.

I find it interesting that Zeiss says "NEVER use loctite of any kind on a stylus system!!!" But several other vendors include a card with our stylus order that says you "MUST use loctite on all stylus joints!!!" We dont use it because I have to go with whatever the people in charge of my warranty say, but my gut tells me it would be absolutely fine to use removable thread locker?
