Hi, Can you please help me with an idea of how to measure a profile on a radius form certain points? So i have 11 points that are already defined on the radius and i want to construct a curve from this points and measure line profile. It is ok to use construct curve or smoothed spline curve? Thanks Ciprian

Hallo, das CAD kann wie von @René beschrieben über die Zwischenablage importiert werden. Beim Verschieben -> Ersetzen lässt sich auf diesem Wege das Ziel-Koordinatensystem auswählen. Im Ausrichtungsmenü Operationen -> Ausrichtung gibt es die Kategorie 'Einzelelement-Transformation'. Damit lässt sich das CAD vor dem Ersetzen transformieren. Nach dem Import ist diese Funktion häufig sehr nützlich: ZEISS Quality Tech Guide Nanno

Hallo zusammen, ihr fügt das neue CAD ein, aber in die Zwischenanlage. Dann bearbeiten und abgleichen mit dem "alten CAD" wenn alles passt dann Hochziehen und "Bauteil ersetzten" Machen wir regelmäßig und funktioniert ohne Probleme. Grüße

Let me give you a 1-dimensional example. Suppose that the callout is for the 1" and 2" tics on a ruler. Datum A is the face of the ruler that would touch the paper. Datum B is the end of the ruler. The upper control frame controls the distance of both tics from the end of the ruler. The lower control frame just controls the distance between the two tics. The 1" tic could be 1.5" from the end of the ruler and the 2" tic could be 2.5" from the end of the ruler. In that case they would fail the upper control but pass the lower control.

Hi Greg - I would also recommend using a result element. More information on using a result element can be found here: https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=1796588

Read thru ASME Y14.5-2018 starting on page 214. It has some good examples similar to this.

Hello, Are you able to manually pick up the MasterProbe? When you connect to the machine, do you get a warning about the probe being defined as "nothing"? If so, it's possible that your probe head is not being read and you will need to enter a service request.

A few additional KBAs on the topic as well. CALYPSO: GD&T Engine: Simultaneous Requirements CALYPSO: GDT Position >< Direction Only Evaluation

It has been determined the part is being machined off axis and when it is mounted on cmm, the probe is shanking.

no

I have this position callout on a drawing, its for a set of 8 holes, top section is in tolerance but the bottom section is out of tolerance, I can't seem to wrap my head around what the bottom section is actually controlling and what is out of tolerance.

Hi @Chad McNamara. Nice work on troubleshooting at least half of the problem. There are a few ways to get those pesky corners omitted from the zone. 1. Under the evaluation tab for the curve, choose the "Limit Evaluation" option in the middle of that window. Then, you will be able to mask out the points near those corners. - Heads-up: This UI can be confusing at first. Make sure you turn on "Show point numbers" before opening the Limit Evaluation window. Then, scroll down to the points you would like to mask. While holding down the control key, click the individual points you would like to mask. If there are several points in a series to mask, you can hold down shift after clicking the first point in that series and click the last point in that series, and it will choose all points between. However, if you don't hold down either control or shift, Calypso will only choose one point and reset all others. Tip: If acceptable per your task, mask a few points on the edge or even outside the corners to make sure outliers don't sneak in to the unmasked area. 2. Newer versions of Calypso facilitate more intricate curve constructions, similar to how @Ivan Servin.2 used the connect nominal curves optoin. You can create a curve with nominal point segments for the lines and delete or omit the corners when creating the original curve. This can sometimes have undesirable effects on the tolerance zones, either visually or numerically. I prefer option #1. Tip: Under the evaluation tab, there is an option called "take segment gaps into consideration." You may want to check that option, but I'll be honest that I don't fully understand what's behind the curtain on that function. Tip: You can scan the features of interest as line segments and then recall them or scan entire curve features all-in-one (or a hybrid strategy to avoid obstacles). Curves are like their own Open-World video game. Lots to explore. If you have a ZeissCare agreement, I strongly recommend submitting a ticket and asking the Zeiss application specialists to review your measurement plan. I've learned as much about curves and freeform surfaces from those calls as I have from the actual Curve/Freeform training course.

You can have big probe tip for that corner radius and low number of nominal and/or actual points. Point distance is determined by center of probe tip ( i think ), so use smaller tip, reduce speed close to corner and use more points ( can be done in segments, then grouped to keep one scan session )

I did end up going with the last option however the corners still are having issues with the tolerance. They are not smoothly following the profile of the nominal curve as expected and are even a bit tangled in some. Not sure why as the actual curve looks to be correctly matching the CAD.

Hey, We have the same problem on our DuraMax CMMs, have you found a solution ? Thanks

You can try File -> Export -> Elements -> Selected Elements Only and save to cad.zelements

@Norbert Bendldanke für die Richtigstellung, hab gerade leider keine Zeit es selber auszupropieren. Kann man auf ein CAD in der Zwischenablage die Transformationen for dem Hinzufügen ausführen?

Inspect hat m.W. keine Exportfunktion für CAD-Modelle, egal in welchem Format. Ist leider nicht so wie in Calypso.

Hallo Marc, das Cad in einem neuen Projekt importieren, die Anpassungen vornehmen, exportieren und dann ersetzen geht nicht? Alternativ auch in einer anderen Software.

Hallo Jochen, Danke für die Antwort. So 100% hat mir die Suche nicht weiter geholfen. Ich werde das Teil jetzt komplett neu aufsetzten. Die aktuelle Möglichkeit in dieser Situation gefallen mir jedoch leider gar nicht das macht der ein oder andere Mitbewerber besser 😄 Denn wenn ich mein CAD Modell zu beginn direkt mit Einzeltransformation an die richtige Stelle Schiebe, sodass mein Globales und das benötigte Koordinatensystem übereinstimmen habe ich bei einer neuen Version des CAD Modelles ja keine Chance dieses zu ersetzen. Das "neu" CAD Modell wird wieder am ursprünglichen Platz importiert und die manuelle Verschiebung wurde nicht berücksichtigt. Ich hätte mir gewünscht, dass bei der Funktion im Bauteil ersetzen bei CAD Modellen sozusagen ein Best Fit voran geht um die Lage sicherzustellen. Das würde uns das Leben um einiges leichter machen. Wir sind in der Automobilbranche unterwegs und hier ist es nun mal so, dass wir ganz oft unsere Bauteile in Fahrzeuglage konstruieren und somit die Ausrichtung bzw. Lage im CAD Modell nicht dem Bezugssystem in der Zeichnung entspricht. Grüße

Hello! I am setting up a correlation, with images being taken at roughly 1FPS over multiple days. I currently have images filling up a designated file on my computer. I am wondering if there is a way to have these images be auto-imported into GOM Professional Correlate 2020, and automatically develop a plot of the full field strain. I believe I am correct in assuming the script editor is the best route to do the auto-importing of Tiff images. But I am unsure if it is possible to do correlation to an ever-increasing data set. I do intend for this project to develop the strain plot in real time (with the exception of correlation causing the plot generation to lag behind). Finally: With this being a test over many days, the dataset will exceed 1TB, will this cause any issues in GOM? I have a 4TB SSD, but only 64GB ram. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance, Luke

I saw the same errors for my Contura when our sensor controller got zapped by a nasty power surge during a storm.
