Hi all, When I created my MasterProbe on a new machine tab for my offline seat it created it as RDS-CAA. I want to add an angle of 90/0 to the Masterprobe to qualify a virtual XXT rack, but I can't figure out how to change the MasterProbe to passive. I can't add any angles to it as long as it's CAA.

Here is a Zeiss resource on the topic of probe types: The Styli Handbook https://portal.zeiss.com/knowledge-base?id=1113662

lol as an instructor myself i refer to it as "the most powerful window in all of CALYPSO." it turns you from a good programmer into a good AND FAST programmer.

Hi, i was able to do that like this. have a CAD model of that frame ( to be able to do alignment ) scan that frame with ref. points on that frame do an alignment in which you will export data export all ref. points ( it's a xml so you can easily remove unwanted ref. points ) now you can import that fram in setings. All you have to do is correctly set temperature and material in export and import.

I would look into building an enclosure for the machine. They are small enough that it shouldn't be too expensive.

I have an ATOS Template setup, recently we had our frame have photogrammetry. Is there somewhere i can read over the steps to import that ref frame points and align it to the current location of the scan?

Sorry guys, classic case of not googling my question before I post. This easily achieved by using the start command start "" "Q:\CMM Programs\Change Log.txt" start "" "Q:\CMM Programs\CMM Bubble.pdf"

Simple question, but does anyone have a good strategy to allow inspection_post_load.bat to open two files at the same time? Current state: I use this to open a change log/comment log text file. I also want it to display the pdf bubble print. It works, except the operator must close the text file before the bubble print opens. Desired state: I want both the text file and the pdf to open at the same time. I know I could use inspection_post_load.bat to call another script that will open both at the same time, but I'm trying to make this simple for the guys I'll be training to do this.

It is a little late. But if you want to have features measured regardless your conditions inside inspection plan you can add "dummy" extra alignments and placed then on top of the program and if require add them to the miniplan. This method will "enforce" measurement features that are "excluded" later by conditions. If you still have issues with this even when you are 100% sure that you made measurement - try to check your filters and outliers as they might "kill" to many points. If you working with cones then you might re-think measuring strategy as in specific situations you might have issues with very short cones, or with cones with huge/very small cone angles. I hope that can help.

A little late - but If you have PCM module. You can create CSV file the way you want by creating file and adding lines in it by PCM command with all data you need. This way you will be able to open CSV as comma/semicolon separated file.

I agree with Eric - you should have full path to the CAD file. I used this command when I made huge multi-size-type-operation Inspection plan. 3 part families, 10 sizes in each, 3 OPs per family part. 90 programs in 1. Barcode scanner was used to get data for headers and conditions. I was reloading CAD files and different curve scans - all worked fine but I had full path to the files.

Do you filter the individual segment before joining them? Don't do that. Join the unfiltered segments and filter the resulting curve. I did this quite often, and it should work.

Update... had teams meeting with Zeiss.... showed them what was going on... and they could not believe what it was doing... but it was... they are looking into it and when I get an answer, I will Post....

Die Dauer kannst du ja bestimmen wie oft du eintauchst. Mitutoyo gibt dir ein Programm dazu, bei dem der Taster immer eintaucht und rausfährt. Wie oft das passiert kannst du bestimmen. Dann ist es eine Reinigungsflüssigkeit und Druckluft. Wenn du deinen Finger reinhältst wird der nicht mal feucht. Wenn du etwas Staub drauf hast wird er sauber. Wenn der Taster aber Ölig und schmutzig ist bringt der nichts.

Moin Sven, Vielen Dank für deine Info! Macht der Stylicleaner die Messkugel nicht richtig sauber oder dauert dir das zu lang?

Wir haben eine Mitutoyo CMM mit dem Stylicleaner. Für den Preis und was der bringt würde ich den nicht mehr kaufen. Auch Mitutoyo sagt selbst, dass eine Gründliche regelmäßige Reinigung von Hand sein muss. Ich benutze die Reinigungstücher von Zeiss und die Reinigungsknete von Renishaw um die Taster vom Teller bis zu Kugel zu reinigen.

Moin, Generell ist das System Sylicleaner ja recht smart. Nur für Sterntaster benötigt das doch ziemlich viel Platz abgesehen von dem ziemlich happigen Preis. Es wird mit Isopropylalkohol gereinigt und in Stylicleaner ist die Tastkugel das primäre Ziel. Meine Frage war ja auch wie Ihr denn den Kohlefaserschaft und den XXT Teller selber reinigt. Da mache ich mir etwas Sorgen das das Öl aus der Luft in die Kohlefaserschäfte eindringt und diese dann beschädigt.

Quality assurance begins before the software is delivered 😉

As Eric mentioned add the complete path to the cad file. Whereas fileExists accepts relative paths loadCADFile (like most pcm commands) doesn't. Btw actualInspectionsDir() is no valid command, use getActualInspectionDir() or directoryPath("actualinspection").

Write a macro with fixed path lengths

When I took Calypso Basic and Advanced in like 2014, @Tom Oakes was the instructor. He did not refer to this button as "Measurement Plan Editor Features", he called it "Tom's Favorite Button". I still use the latter to this day 🙂

2 things: 1. IT can have their own portal access. It's easy and free and the only correct way to do this. 2. once IT has access, they will use a system of helpdesk tickets to resolve all issues. You've got other stuff to do.

Yep. We went through this. Seriously, just go through the motions of reporting every single one. Be patient. They will get sick of pointless investigating and needless downtime.

I am the sole guy at my shop building and managing all 200 systems. My predecessors used loctite and / or superglue, I never have. We all have always assembled by feel, not a measured torque setting. The major difference worth considering is that the threads of the systems I assembled are clean when disassembled, making subsequent assembly quick and easy. All of their threads require cleaning, cursing, and swearing. I've never ever lost a thread connection; I don't know why it would happen. Perhaps other shops CMM rougher than we do.

I could see the excel report generated but it did not save the default result folder.
