Hello,I need to reinstall GOM Inspect 2019 Hotfix 8 (rev. 131186) free version on a new PC to ensure compatibility with historical projects in my company.The 2019 version is no longer visible in my download center. Could a moderator please provide a download link or an FTP access to the installer? Thank you very much.

Apart from air pressure the symptoms point to a lag issue. If the CMM starts moving with high acceleration and the belt (or whatever drives the axis) slips slightly, you get a difference between the distance the axis should have travelled and how far it actually moved according to the scales. This difference is constantly monitored by the controller, and if it exceeds a certain amount, the drives are shut off.

Hi, is there an existing command or is there a way to define somehow the range of more sphere centers? The CMM uses the tilting head and measure the reference sphere with 5 head positions and I want ot see the range of the centerpoints in X, Y and Z. So basically it is a calculation of three ranges for 5-5 points. Thanks for support!

We installed the update to 8.0.1603 a few days ago, and the error has not occurred since.

an eine Batch hab ich auch schon gedacht aber wir haben über 500 Programme mit bis zu 170 Varianten je Programm. Es scheint so als ob einfach auf die Ordnererstellung nicht gewartet wird. Calypso versucht einfach die QDAS zu schreiben ohne das das anlegen der Ordner abgeschlossen ist. Bereite ich die Ordnerstruktur vor, wird auch die QDAS direkt geschrieben. Lokal auf dem PC funktioniert das in der Regel zuverlässig, im Netzwerk leider nicht. I had considered using a batch script, but we have over 500 programs, with up to 170 variants per program. It seems as though the system simply doesn't wait for the folder creation to finish; Calypso attempts to write the QDAS file before the folder setup is complete. If I prepare the folder structure in advance, the QDAS file is written immediately. This generally works reliably on the local PC, but unfortunately not over the network.

Hi @Matthew D. What version of Calypso are you working with? Both the new GD&T engine and classic engine can support pattern location for position, but the route to accomplish this task differs. You can also use a best-fit alignment with respect to Datum A.

I was doing pattern TP with bestfit option - then you can use this as alignment.

I have a rectangular pattern of six holes on the top plane. The top plane is datum A. The engineer want the best fit location of the pattern to datum A. Would I have to create a new feature derived from all of those holes? If so could I just do a circle and recall?

I recently had this similar issue on a Contura 2014, in my case somehow the air pressure became low (4.9), we bumped it back to 5.0 and it hasn't happened since.

search this up in the pcm forums, what version are you on ?

Chad, yes Gear Pro has 'unknown gear' and older manual used to have basic instructions as well. a quick google search should pull up some helpful info. With a calypso alignment you can roughly measure the helix angle for example. Good luck.

As far as I know, the cut off pressure is 5 bar for Contura. So even if it drops to 4.99 or below momentarily, the drives will turn off. We had similar issue where it would shut off at lower speeds even. Zeiss tech told me the same thing as Luis and I have not had any issues after the adjustment.

I have wondered if "Curve Jump" would not work to evaluate a dynamic profile (In 2D anyways...). It operates on a similar theory

We *are* seeing significantly smaller sigma values when qualifying on the smaller sphere, but both values are well under an acceptable value for our measurements. If this matters, I have not been able to see it metrologically yet.

Jochen, 😂 yes I did. Originally in the CMM/VMM but then I figured the general topic would yield more replies. Marcel, you’re right the 2x threaded hole callout are off center in the Y. The datum’s is A as a diameter and B as a face. But I suspected it has something to do with the rotation and a Calypso forces the feature to the perfect zero. I’ve opted to trust in the software and leave as is for now.

When I use a cylinder I get an even more confusion result. The majority of the reported Z values remain as zero but with every so often part I do see variation in the Z actuals.

From what you are describing I'm picturing having a face as A and a diameter as B origin and threaded hole off center in Y, but 0 in Z..... Since you have no clocker Z will always report as 0...... One thing to watch out for is if you have multiple features on the part is that they still have to meet your angular tolerance even when relationship is not specified directly.... For instance, if your general angle tolerance allows ±1° and you have a slot on side of the part and a hole on the face, those two still have to be within 1° even when not specified. If possible at all, I always add a clocker based on what they are doing on the CNC machine.... This helps them tweak the rotational relationship between features

i had issues with that the zeiss techinician told me to ajust at 5.05 max 5.1 Bars at 5.05 i have no issues in our new brand contura

When running the program Report will be generated pops-up then after a while around 5 minutes or so (not normal) then the error pops-up. Background notes: Our IT is working on all company computers regarding access, security, uninstalling old unsecured applications, etc. to be compliant under TISAX certification. Anything that Calypso is using in the background might be moved, deleted or reconfigured might be the culprit, but, I am wondering what that would be.

I thought that as well, and I forgot to mention that I verified the air pressure only dropped to 4.98 bar when moving. Normally it sits between 5.00 and 5.04 bar.

Maybe it's an air pressure issue?

I have noticed that if I have the Speed set to 300 in the program, it will occasionally error out, and kick off the drives. If I set it at 200 or 160, its fine. I have also noticed this happening during probe qualifications (List Qualification). If I turn the speed control knob to 75%, it runs fine. Once i go back to 100%, it will alarm out every now and then. I have cleaned all the ways with lint free cloth and 99% isopropyl alcohol, and the clothes are coming off fairly clean. ( i do this every other day). Is there a global setting I can change to keep the maximum travel speed to 250 or less?

Hello All, I have a question. We are starting to use Measurlink10 for data capturing and spc graphing. We use the Surfcom Nex 200 by Zeiss running the Accretech Acctee version 5.24 software. We run multiple programs for different part types, and each part type will have multiple pieces, (i.e. the same type of part from 10 different line). I know how to output the text results in a csv file from Acctee. But I also need the text output to include some kind of traceability. I need the traceability to be entered by the operator before each program run. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (If this isnt the correct area for this question, feel free to move it where it needs to be.)

We use CBA not FACS, and facsIsActive() still works in our projects for this purpose. Have you tried it?

Hi everyone, Is it really possible that until 2026 no one at Zeiss has evaluated spherical positioning? I got the information that no one has, and I wanted to confirm this with you so that if I don’t have Zeiss Inspect 2026, it won’t be possible to evaluate it correctly. Personally, I don’t believe that such a "basic" thing is something Zeiss can’t do. Thanks for any answer.
