I would recommend you ask for proof of the claim that verification is needed after CMM shutdown. In most situations, it is not risk-mitigating or necessary to requalify all styli after a power shutdown.

I am currently working on the Scanbox 5120. I've made some adjustments to a fixture in Renishaw fixture builder and once I upload the new file and click replace fixture, the step file isn't in the desired location. How do I move the new fixture to my desired location?

I also don`t have a good idea of the situation from your picture. In general you need something with a common center to use concentricity. Otherwise you can use a position.

Is it pitch circle from n of holes? Your picture is not helping much - i am not sure on which element is concentricity used.

They only shut down if the CMM is equipped with AirSaver. Then you have a small application on the PC where you can set the timeout and also shut them off manually. The default is 15 minutes. This thread has a screenshot of the app: https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/18466-air-saver-help/

Please call our hotline and request a ticket. We require the following information: current PiWeb version, report (*.ptx) and database extract (*qdb). Thank you.

Hi Latif, this is possible with tags (ZEISS Quality Tech Guide). Set tags for each group, select in explorer, press v for visible or i for invisible. If the meshes represent a part at different times or states, it might be better to create a stage project from the meshes. Converting the project to a part project might also be an option. Again, it depends on the application behind this 🙂 Nanno

What do you mean with "check if a feature is active"? I don't understand what you want to achieve.

We need more context regarding this behaviour. I would suggest you open a ticket. Then we can analyse the behaviour in detail. Thank you.

For anyone using GOM Inspect 2022 you will need to have v2024.0.6191 installed. If you are using a newer version of the extension you cannot connect to VS Code because it requires an API Key. I noticed "auto update" was checked for the extension, after I couldn't connect.

I wrote a script for anyone who needs to convert report images from a CAD comparison to a stage comparison. I’m attaching it. Convert_CAD_Comparison_to_Stage_Comparison.py

So far, just as I thought, except I didn't know about the drives shut down after 15 minutes. That's a new one on me. Is there a way I can validate this and show it to the people requiring this needless exercise? Yes, qualification after collision is certainly necessary.

Contura is set at 4.94 bar. Does anyone know the button sequence for setting it to 5.0?

I've also encountered this phenomenon frequently with STEP data involving freeform surfaces. It's usually only the curved outer/surface area.

Sorry, but I really don't know the details of the conversion process. I don't have the stl files in my possession.

The code "if "Plane3"=true" was just pseudo text to imply what I am looking to achieve.

Hi Daniel, Hi Ünal, Thank you so much! We very rarely require maximum material conditions. And yes, it is ISO. We still use CALYPSO 7.4.24, so the evaluation according to the centre line must be used for cylinders in order to be ISO-compliant. The default is ASME, for whatever reason... 🙂 Thank you very much for your efforts! Only a example to show ISO versus ASME...

We've recently upgraded from our aging GOM triple scan to a shiny new Zeiss ScanCobot and have some teething issues in regards to getting our old workflow to work with the new software/hardware Previously we would create a Measurement Template Project, then drop the individual scans into it as separate stages in order to output all the reports on a single PDF, pretty standard stuff I imagine. Using the new Cobot however, we'd like to optimize this process by being able to scan the parts in using the measurement routine, processing them inside the same project, and saving them as individual stages so we can run another scan session inside the same project. Is this possible?

Hallo Nanno, funktioniert. Danke! Ich war dem schon auf der Spur, aber hatte erst das Problem, dass das ganze Netz ausgewertet wurde. Jetzt klappt es 🙂 Gruß Hendrik

You will form a cylinder from two circles with a diameter of Ø10.65. (The coaxiality tolerance will come from the maximum material condition.) Because it is Cz, you must obtain a cylinder from this. Since it will be a cylinder measurement, this must be coaxiality. If you keep the diameter tolerance at a minimum level, the tolerance it will give you will be larger.

Hallo, im "neuen" (wurde Standard mit Inspect 2019) Workflow mit Bauteilen (Screenshot unten) kann man die Flächen in der Ansicht im Screenshot per Drag and Drop in ein neues Bauteil verschieben. Diese lassen sich dann im Flächenvergleich usw. auswählen. Nanno

When you're working with ASME, it depends: in the newest standard, there is no more concentricity. The symbol has been eradicated altogether and has been substituted with the position symbol. So this could be an older ASME standard, but there is no Maximum Material Condition for concentricity AFAIK, so here, you're obviously working in ISO (it's "2x" in ISO, and "2X" in ASME). In ISO, it's always coaxiality, and in this case it's the coaxiality of the Maximum Material Boundary of the common axis Ø10.65. The diameter of the Maximum Material Boundary is Ø10.65 +0.05 = 10.70 mm, and that means the minimum circumscribed cylinder (over all segments) must not violate the Maximum Material Boundary at the nominal position of datum A-A|B. For the manufacturing process it means, that the diameter should be made preferably at the lower end of the tolerance. If your Ø10.65 is made 10.60 at perfect form, your coaxiality tolerance will be 0.01.

there is a characteristic copable of calculating the concentricity between the centre of holes and a cylinder reference?

Hello colleagues, I have a drawing with zero tolerance for coaxiality but a maximum material condition. How should this drawing be interpreted and how can it be implemented in CALYSO? And again and again the question of whether it is coaxiality or concentricity... Best Regards Karsten
