In PiWeb designer you can create a template where you can have this graph mirrored. Go to editor - click on "Pages" and select "Plot" page Now in "Structure" expand tree in "Main section -> Roundness template -> Roundness" and click "Properties" Find "Mirrored" and check it. That's the only option.

Well, yes, technically. But that certificate only confirms that the results calculated by Zeiss (based on a point set generated and provided by the PTB) are the same as the ones the PTB has calculated themselves. It does not contain any information about the hardware architecture on which those tests were performed.

I use CALYPSO on a Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX with 128 GB RAM and an RTX A4000. The hardware is expensive enough to make you regret bad decisions, yet speed is not something CALYPSO regularly impresses me with. My advice: focus on strong single-core performance. More CPU cores don't help much when the software still behaves as if parallel processing were some kind of futuristic technology. And yes, I still remember ZEISS recommending a Xeon processor. To this day, I'm not entirely sure why. My best guess is that if CALYPSO isn't going to run any faster, at least the invoice should look impressive.

Hi, haben Sie an eine Funktion wie diese gedacht? ZEISS PiWeb Interaktive Berichte | intuitiv und einfach

Hi Monika, PiWeb can provide control charts and export measurement results as CSV files for further processing in Excel. These functions are available with PiWeb Reporting Plus and PiWeb Essential. However, automatic notifications when a part is out of tolerance require PiWeb Enterprise. Therefore, the standard PiWeb version included with CALYPSO 8 would not cover all the listed requirements.

Hi, I would ask you to contact your local support team and raise a ticket so that we can analyse the error. Thank you.

Thank you both @Chad Watton, @Richard Shomaker. The alignments should be obvious but I have never used maximum coordinate for anything I have done. As for recalling feature points into another curve then calling that into circle, I also would not have thought of that. I will give these a shot tonight.

You have to have a dimension from GD&T to enable MMR ( there must be an dimension from this )

From an AI query. Things to look at.

Invest in the Zeiss Cook Book, you wont regret it.

Multiple ways to skin this cat. I work with these all the time and can give you some tips. First off, There's better ways to get that OD than a cmm. Something like an OptiCline or a custom gage like we have. But if you have to get on a cmm there's a few things you can try. Like Richard said, you can make an alignment that is clocked to each blade. This is possible but kinda sucks too. Clock the alignment to a symmetry point made from points on either side. OR what I recommend is measuring multiple blades with curves. Then recall those individual curves into another curve. Then you can use a circle with Max Inscribed or Min Circumscribed to give you a diameter. Like this: We have a complex shaped curve, and the circle is just fitting around the outside for the OD.

With Curve - you can use the Maximum Coordinate, and isolate the axis, but you'd need for it to live inside of an alignment that is rotated to the blade.

I still have a few Sheffield CMM's running Calypso 2022, with a PH10T and TP200. Renishaw has a newer revision to the PH10T, now called PH10T Plus, which requires different controller box/s. I am trying to get the newer head to work. I do have the newer PHC10-3 Plus, with a PI 200-3 add in card, to go with the newer head. With the help of the company that services these machines, for calibartion and repair, I was able to get the correct dip switch settings. The problem is the machine will not home. It sees the CMM, and will give me the box to turn on drives and put in auto, if they aren't already. The problem is you hit ok for the box that tells you the head will go to A0 B0, and it does nothing. The machine just sits there, and eventually the screen will say homing, but still nothing moves. Zeiss doesn't support the NZDI interface anymore, so I am kind of on my own. I was hoping maybe someone here would have knowledge on the subject.

To clarify, I created 2d curves on the cross section around the tip of the blades, but don't know how to isolate the most radial distance on the curve in order to pull it into a circle.

I'm trying to apply a max material condition to the true position check of a cross-sectional circle. The true position references datum F, which is a cone feature, and has an original tolerance of 0.011". The circle has a diameter check with a tolerance of +/- 0.003". The issue I'm having is that I can select MMR, then either extracted or associated element, but there is no change to the calculation despite the diameter passing close to the center of tolerance. Also, I've noticed that I cannot select a "Dimension Element" when prompted to. I can select the option and it says to CTRL + Mouse 1 on the desired element, but this selection option doesn't actually work. Not sure what I might be missing here, but any help is appreciated.

Then i would advise to apply at least outliers on feature's used for perpendicularity ( datums and feature itself )

In that case, no I don't have any filters/outliers?

If you can - make lines and their intersections at least 3 times around a part - that should be sufficient.

On features. Features used in datums are evaluated as tangential element - so it's sensitive on outliers.

First you have to enter editing mode for report template ( right click on "Style" and select "Edit template" ) Now you can modify - after changes export this template into new or existing app

Not on the features themselves. Just to make sure I'm not confused about the question, you're speaking about the features and not the report correct?

@MeetLabo1 HDB Leslie, I've been down this path too. For the desktop PC to talk to the embedded PC in your X-ray machine, very specific processes need to be configured/running in the background and loaded in Windows registry. Before you do the following, please restart your desktop PC and see if that restores the processes required to communicate with the embedded PC. If that does not work, you will have to manually execute the executable (.exe) files yourself. It is not hard, but it is very poorly (if ever) documented from Zeiss. When you double click the executable files, it configures your desktop to talk to your X-ray, and makes changes to the Windows registry so that the processes fire automatically when the desktop PC restarts. In your file explorer, go to "C:\Program Files\Zeiss\INSPECT\YOUR VERSION YEAR\bin" Sort by Type. You will see some folders at the top, and then should see a bunch of files that end in .exe (make sure you enable file extensions are shown) Double click "TomCtServer.exe" The command prompt will pop open, let it execute fully (it will close when finished). Restart the desktop. Check if communication is restored. If not, go back to the above location, and double click: scanner_server.exe ZEISS_INSPECT_ACQServer.exe ZEISS_INSPECT_HardwareServer.exe ZEISS_INSPECT_MoveServer CTXrayRegistration If still no communication, there are a few more .exe files located in "C:\Program Files\Zeiss\INSPECT\YOUR VERSION YEAR\bin\xray_services" that we can try. Let me know if the above restores communication.

Did a quick sketch to see how calypso would work with it, looks like calypso thinks it would be a cone. you could use that surface as your X and Y origin and the intersection of that and the outer surface as your Z origin for your base alignment

Picture added in case my rambling didn’t make sense! This is how to part sits on the CMM.
