posted by Glen Grefer, I should have grabbed a screen, I might have one on my phone... Window said Calypso 2027 showing dark mode, I thought he said go get it, its available for download.... maybe soon ??

im pretty sure you cant do automatic calibration for this styli for disc i use the method on the link bellow, im pretty sure you should use this kind of method. if anyone know a automatic method please share. If the cylinder styli have the smi spherical point u can normally calibrate as a normal sphere styli.

You can use caliper point on selection. 1st in direction to a plane and 2nd opposing - this way you can get 2 min/max points. Or in same way you can use parallelism ( line against plane ) and report min/max point - this flag with biggest deviation can be used as a point in projected distance.

You could try and build a cylinder out of the information you got and use "check linear size" on that.

Hello everyone! I am currently using an O-Inspect 322 with an XXT VAST probe head and Calypso 2021. I would like to know if it is possible to calibrate a cylindrical stylus on this machine? If yes, how should it be done? If not, what are the requirements or prerequisites to make it possible? Thank you very much!

Well they can always rename 2026 to 2027 and it will be ahead of schedule. Windows jumped from 8 to 10 so why not 😉

i bougth anew brand machine with SMA license and i cant update the software because they dont release it. abd to be honest Calypso needs be improved with a lot of quality of life features as shortcuts, cad manipulation, cad feature visualization and etc... if we comparare this points to PC-DMIS calypso need be updated ASAP.

I can measure two distances. But Id like something as Liner size with Two-point size with SX and SN

Hello I've been using curves for quite a long time and have probably picked up some habits that aren't correct. I've built up a decent uncertainty question list as well. Has anyone taken the live online curves class and did you get what you wanted out of it with how it's presented? There's obviously a convenience with the online I usually default to taking the onsite classroom classes but these are far and few and it's usually a drive. Thanks for the input.

I assume you want the distances perpendicular to the plane? Then you won't need more than two distances: Either the line is parallel to the plane, then one dimension would be enough. Or it is angled, then the min and max are at the end points. No need to measure inbetween. So extract the line's end points with Construct / Point / Point from Line. Then create two projected point distances (Construct / Distance / Projected Distance), select the point(s) and project on the plane.

Basically that is the same as a two line distance with the projected line, but according to the tech guide this gives you only the shortest distance.

The year is still long 🙃

That would be parallelism. Or you could project the line into the plane. Define your endpoints and with the normal vector of the plane and the points construct lines and get the intersection points with the original line. Then you can evaluate the distance. There might be a function for that, but out of my head i can`t recall one for that...

Hello, how to inspect dimesion between line and plane? I want to check min. + max. dimesion.

when 2026 will be released?...

when the calypso 2027 will be released?

Hello Amairani, have you restarted the controller yet? It seems that the sensor is in a "state" that wont allow to reconnect CALYPSO. A controller restart could help. Worst case could be a damaged sensor. Best Regards Marcel

The post has apparently been removed; I couldn't find it either. Reach out to Chad—he has a snap.

Hallo, wir evaluieren die KI-Funktion in PiWeb 2026. Ist die Anbindung auf OpenAI bzw. Azure OpenAI beschränkt oder können auch andere Large Language Models wie Anthropic Claude verwendet werden? Falls Claude unterstützt wird: Ist eine direkte Anbindung an die Anthropic API möglich? Oder werden ausschließlich OpenAI-kompatible Endpunkte unterstützt? Welche API-Spezifikation muss der Endpoint erfüllen? Vielen Dank Gruß Thomas

When I hit this link it takes me to the generic zeiss portal for the knowledge base and tells me that it cannot find anything useful. When search for "master password" it cannot find anything relevant as per usual.

okay, have you just asked for projection angle one or projection angle two? The nominal projection angle should be 70°, and then the projected angle should match or be whatever the part actually is.

Locking the radius is definitely the way to go when you need the location of such a small section of a radius. You may consider also locking the X location AND using a formula to determine the X-location. It kind of depends on the tightness of the tolerance that determines that dimension as compared to the tolerance for the radius etc. Are the features in bubble 16 the same as the ones in bubble 21? I would say that they are from the picture shown. Look at the way that the feature is programmed. They may have locked the XYZ location to get a more reliable radius. They may have even done something more sneaky and difficult to program in order to get that dimension cleanly. In the most complex version of the programming, they already have the information hidden in the data and you would just have to coax it out. Even in a moderately complex version, they may have all the information that you need. Judicious use of recall feature points and formulas for nominals could get you what you want without taking any additional datapoints.

Pete, There are plenty of Zeiss CMMs measuring the exact geometry you mentioned. VAST sensors specialize in the longer, heavier stylii that may be required to reach inside the barrel, but XXTs can handle the job as well depending on how deep you need to probe.
