    Calibration Timing

    I get my calibration done every August. To schedule an appointment for August, I get a quote in May/June, have it approved by management, and then receive prior confirmation from Zeiss for my desired dates. Starting the process three months in advance is sufficient for us.

    Calibration Timing

    Every year, we get a quote in advance for our 9 CMMs and schedule the appointments right away. Since we also manufacture medical devices, we’ve set the due date to 30 days early to comply with FDA requirements.

    Contura 617 Safety Module Error

    Hi Tommy, I think the inlet pressure is higher—around 6—but what does it say on your label or in the manual?

    Calibration Timing

    I've been told the same thing, not from a technician but someone in sales, I think. He actually gave me a number and I was shocked at how low it was. That was around 5 years ago so I hope things have improved.

    Calibration Retract Settings

    Hello, Are you able to change the retract settings on the calibration cycle for individual styli or the whole stylus system for that matter? Or does Calypso do this all in the background for you? I am trying to design a stylus system that has a 5 sided probe holder with the shortest probes possible while maintaining 180° coverage of the sphere. The only issue I foresee is the not having the ability to change the retract distance or determine how Calypso calculates the retract value. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
  8. No, it's also available in English, it's only the mini-site that expects you to be German. It's not on the app store though, just Google Play.
  9. How specific is that prealignment mismatch? I had no luck to fix prealignment on almost symmetric or rotary model. Would simple bestfit help? Like: do prealignment bestfit of selected part of a mesh based on prealignment next alignments based on bestfit.
  10. @Devon I've studied services and those are mainly for sharing functions across many add-ons. But it's like for calculations - not for dialogs. If anyone needs a function, which should return calculated result defined by parameters, then this can be used. But i don't think you can hide code or use compiled python code. At least i didn't try "pyc" file
  11. I went to use our Contura this afternoon, and it kept cutting the drives off with the 617 Safety Module error. From what I have read online it may have something to do with the air pressure on the back of the CMM. I adjusted it a year or so ago and adjusted it to be above 5.10 today and it is still kicking the drives off. What is the highest I can set this number or is it another issue all together? Any assistance would be appreciated.
  12. Is there a way to manually change the alignment of multiple changes? My prealignment gets me to close to where I need to be, but each part is off slightly. I can easily fix one stage via the "set Matrix" alignment, but this hurts all the other alignments. Is there a way to use the "Set Matrix" alignment on each stage individually? Thank you!!!
  13. Would creating a Zeiss Inspect service help with your situation? https://zeiss.github.io/zeiss-inspect-app-api/2026/howtos/using_services/using_services.html hope it helps.

    @Devon Hi and thanks for a hint. This seems to be what i was searching for. Unfortunately it's only for 2026 - i have still 2025 and it's not available. Basically if i do in the script creation of 50 single points, then in history ( undo ) i have it filled with each point and i would like to have it in one action removed that step. I've found a working way to obtain what i need and for now i am staying at half working solution. In a nutshell: customer wants to have evenly spaced 30 points on a circular path from upper half and lower half of a part. I was using section and equally spaced points on a edge. Problem is it's defined by distance and not number of points. Then i wanted to add offset to that selection. So i've done a script, where i select actual section from tree, do selection of all points, use deselection based on sphere ( size of offset ) on both endings of selected curve, calculation of point distance and it's done. I saw that some of points are not with correct distance, but i saw that this function is returning created points, so for fully working solution i'll do own calculation and selection of points, so my script will return point cloud.

    Calibration Timing

    My previous employer started scheduling the next years calibration as the current one is wrapped up. We had a preferred tech that we requested for the calibrations.

    Pallet Program Base Alignment can not be computed

    Can you share an image of the base alignment that is in the pallet icon in ARN? Also, it might be helpful to share an image of your base alignments. Do you have a separate fixture alignment program? Or just a part program you are arraying? Here is an autorun guide I helped develop at one of my last jobs. Hopefully this can help.

    Hey martin, not sure what you mean by 'one step in history'. (like 1 undo function?) I've never tried it, but maybe you could try this? if you do, let us know how it works! gom.api.tools.MultiElementCreationScope https://zeiss.github.io/zeiss-inspect-app-api/2026/python_api/python_api.html#gom-api-tools-multielementcreationscope

    Stitching 3 measurement files together

    Figured it out guys. I had to switch my Active measurement series to the one I wanted to transform. This was probably obvious to anyone with more GOM experience, but I'm learning on the fly here.

    Calypso 2026

    I fully disagree. User-friendly GUI considers the needs and workflow of the participant. Effective software makes complex tasks easier.
  20. I have created a pallet program and it was running for months. Now I can't run more than the first position because every other position the CMM will run the base alignment and then red light saying "Base Alignment can not be computed." I have tried redoing a manual alignment on the part and the fixture. Requalifying every probe and manually alignment again. The spacing is correct and I'm just at a loss of why this issue suddenly started and won't go away. I tried adding a start alignment tying parts of the base alignment to try and create a basic way to find the part before running. All have come up short. I'm running Calypso 2021 and have the latest service packs.
  21. That error means that you have already used your two free licenses with your ZEISS ID. Each version has a limit of two free licenses per ZEISS ID. Did you sign up for the Free license previously, perhaps on another PC?

    Calibration Timing

    We scheduled ours in July for a Contura and an O-inspect, soonest available was in November, so a 4-month window in our case.
  23. Thanks a lot. When I click "Free" it gives me a warning like follows. How should I proceed?

    Unable to delete directory

    I am seeing this issue on a couple of programs all of a sudden. To fix it, I had to archive the Acis plot folder so it would run. Is there a better fix than this?

    Zeiss Inspect Error

    Hi Adam Did you get this issue resolved? I am having the same issue, getting the same message when I try and open a project in Optical Inspect 3D. This 1st occurred around the same time as your original post. Login to The Zeiss Quality suite also fails so can't run any updates to see if that cures the issue. I had my IT dept look into it while on leave as I thought it may be something to do with our IT security, but have come back to the same issue
