OMG, is it christmas, are you kidding us ? Hot swapping sensors automatically in the rack, without losing accuracy ? 😅😉 I'm speculating of course ....

@Jeff Frodermann The Compact XXT has been available in the US Market since January of this year. We've sold plenty systems configured with it and as Jeff mentioned, it's an ideal option when purchasing a system with a 7/7/6 measuring volume.

Thanks, @Jeffrey Penrod. I appreciate your feedback on MASS and the Compact XXT, especially the subtle hint to a possible effort to accomodate live sensor swapping without power down. If such an endeavor was successful, it would be a huge value add. It sounds like the Compact XXT may not be fully available in US markets yet, per our local distributor, but I am interested in trying one out as soon as they're available. Thanks again for weighing in on this!

The MASS sensor is actually the ideal setup for applications requiring the ViScan/LineScan/DotScan sensor. It allows the use of the more robust active VAST sensor where needed and flexibility to allow for alternate sensor configurations where needed. There are a great many ZEISS users that utilize the MASS system to take advantage of an VAST/XT or XTR, having a rotary table and still have the capability to use an optics sensor (IE - LineScan now with full scanning during RT rotation). LineScan is probably the most common MASS VAST + RDS combo. Note: swapping the sensor platforms out (via dovetail) requires powering the drives down and changing machine tabs within CALYPSO....but... stay tuned 🙂 The COMPACT XXT is essentially the same hardware as the TL3 with a different rotational point to conserve measuring volume. Same sensor plates and compatible between measurement plans without substantial adaptation. The intent is to increase measuring volume on smaller machines (think SPECTRUM 7/7/6) by shortening the sensor protrusion. This gains ~150mm of volume in every axis without having to adapt an "L" probe and use the sensor in the -Z orientation to get full X/Y volume use. Pick the configuration that works for you. This adds more options and flexibility to meet your specific requirements.

It's under Resources > Compatibility settings > For this measurement plan Fourth from the bottom is "Show discontinued report templates". Enable that. Also verify that your colleague has the "ZEISS Basic Reporting" application installed (or "ZEISS Basic Reporting64" if they're using Calypso 2024 or newer). It's not part of the standard install anymore so it might not be on the PC.

How do you re-enable them?

Hello again, I was able to speak with a Zeiss representative and over the phone and TeamViewer, I got the exact help I needed. Using a more accurate qualification method is exactly what was required to overcome the issue with the off measurements.

Yes, the compatibility setting that re-enables the old plots also shows or hides those buttons.

I don't have them anymore, but i am not totaly sure. You can still enable old protocols, so they may be visible once you enable it in program.

Hello, anyone encounter this error in Gear Pro? solutions? workarounds? Thanks.

For those that have "newer" versions of Calypso. Do the toggle buttons on top right of basic form plot go away at some point and you are only left with the first one (PiWeb)? I have v6.6, and was helping a colleague with v7.4 (or later) and he alleges his form plotting option is only the PiWeb toggle button. Thanks.

Ciao Frederico, It would be best if you measured a cone with several lanes, then you have the cone angle.

Interesting...will try this later today...never tried to create a CAD from a mesh. We don't have this need, but good to learn new things.

I do not see an option anywhere in Zeiss Inspect 2026 Optical 3D to enable a dual robot mode. Current when scanning BIW frame the left robot will scan, then the right. This is causing 1hr+ process times.

So they can be more understanding

Thank you very much!

Recently this has started happening randomly on programs ran from the C:\ drive and it is a huge problem. (It stops pallet runs until someone clicks "ok" on the miba error!) Clearly its not a permissions issue since the program completes successfully a majority of the time. I am thinking it must be our IT department software somehow? Has anyone had issues with CrowdStrike etc interfering with program operations? We are not out of disk space. Previously this had happened when saving to certain network drives and it was a complete solution to save to the local drive.

I have a similar setup, except its 345mm long. I use: M5, Styli straight, silicon nitride sphere, tungsten carbide shaft Stylus straight M5, DK14 L65 626115-1401-065 and a: Extension Ø11, ZEISS REACH CFX® 3 Extension M5-DG11-L280-1x-M5 626107-1280-100 This also uses a 40mm extension and a 50gr counterweight on the opposite end. I am scanning 13 cylinders in specific locations (They are broken by grooves). This creates a critical Datum D. I will have to look at my rigidity, but I am not having any issues.

Try reinstalling that extension. I've just tested on never used VS code machine and after install i have 4 inputs

I share your assumption. The drawing is kind of bad in that regard. They could have drawn the angel to the axis.

@Jochen Heller There is a runout callout to A, then i assume that 10° is half of that cone or angle of line to A axis. I can not tell more since i don't see if it's full circle/cone or just a half.

@Martin Jánský.2 How do you tell by the information given? The line is clearly on the the "little area". Because it would make sense or any hard tell?

For a cone you need at least two circular paths or helix to obtain it's angle. That 10° is meant from axis - not that little area.

OK, do you have a substitutes for BAT files ready? There are several approaches possible - if you have a substitute, then you can rename text in files from ".bat'" to ".vb'" ( fill your extension ) or we can keep BAT files and do a workaround. I can even make a little EXE which will run that BAT file, but your IT can be against - also i would need to test, if you can fill that path with commands.
