Get yourself a nice cylindrical stylus that has a radius on the tip (instead of the flat end). Calibrate it like a standard stylus

If I had to choose between dark mode and proper slot handling, Id take the slot, but I do want dark mode. Its easier on the eyes

Absolutely! These are the standard reports that come with PiWeb, but you can custom tailor one to whatever your wildest dreams might be. PiWeb > everything else. Data management and reporting is unmatched.

Every "\" has to be typed as a double "\\" R:\\CustomerName\\Results\\SR#${Qdb.Measurement(1800, -1)}\\SR#${Qdb.Measurement(1800, -1)} - ${Qdb.Part(1901)} - Calibration Certificate - SN# ${Qdb.Measurement(2216, -1)}.pdf

I made a custom variable to make the path.

That was snot checked as enabled, however, enabling and then disabling has removed the stylus. Great tip, thanks!

Hello CMM Team, I want to select dynamically a set of dimensions, so we can create ad-hot miniplans This is an example. Normally all the checkBoxes are selected, but if you select only a few, a LIST with these dimensions or characteristic is created and ready for a PreSettings. The Issue is when I try to measure some Characteristics that need features not defined in the alignment. Here an example of the questions by the Calypso system: Some ideas to avoid create a list ddME before calling setCF.

Is it the one that's controlled by CAD > Settings > Model Display > Show probing object?

We Currently use QC Calc and looking at alternatives. Can the standard PiWeb that comes with Calypso 8 replace QC Calc? I need to see control charts, would like to share results as an excel file with engineers, and would like to send automatic notifications when a part is out of tolerance.

It's beautiful, isn't it. 🙂 There are so many things that INSPECT does well, and there are so many things that Calypso does well. I'm all for some synergy.

WAYAMINT...What kind of sorcery is this? 😄

Here is how it works in Inspect https://imgur.com/a/HRItDqC

How do I remove a CAD model of a generic stylus from Planner that is stuck in my program other than creating a new program? It is not in the CAD-Entity Hierarchy. This happened in v2016, I am converting to v2022.

What is this you speak of?

Ditto, please share.

Give me a proper Slot Position inspection - I know it can be done because the Inspect software does it (does a complete Boundary position - not just the center point), and give me SIM/CZ for Line Profiles.

I have an auto qualification and adjustment PCM program that I created for Disc Styli. It requires you to place the Reference Sphere in the correct orientation for that particular stylus (this will handle a standard 1-5 star cluster if necessary - I haven't ever had a need for RDS and odd angles). The MasterProbe measures the Reference Sphere to set the X Y Z and Radius values. The program will pull all of the stylus systems available from the rack and ask you to select the one you want to qualify. It will prompt you to enter the Disc Diameter, Disc Thickness and the Roller Location (for those that use those). If anyone is willing to test, and provide feedback, please contact me via PM, and I will share. I'd rather not post it if there are issues.

If you have Curve - you can try out the new contour radius measurement. Seems very promising! Size - Curve Dimensions - Curve Contour

Nice... a dream becomes true?? Are you allowed to share this programm? Regards Karsten

Moin, So richtig erinnere ich mich leider nicht mehr.... Aber über CAD-Ansichten verwalten kannst du von der aktuellen CAD Ansicht ein Bild machen, Also auch im Schnitt und alles was du siehst. Das wird dann als Prüfmerkmal abgelegt. Im Reiter Prüfplan->Mehrfachprotokolle die Zeilenvorlagen austauschen anhaken und da drunter auch Plot-Filter aktivieren. In dem Filter aktivierst du dann deine CAD Ansicht. Die wird dann an der Position im Protokoll ausgegeben an der die CAD-Ansicht in den Prüfmerkmalen steht. Aber es geht sicher auch eine externe *.jpg an eine bestimmte Stelle zu laden. Aber ehrlich: PiWeb kann sicher fast alle, nur weiß niemand wie. Es ist das Vater-Monster von Zeiss-Software 🙂

Program is is running without issues for a long time, and this happens first time last night at the end of the run. We're just calibrating stylus in autorun. Anybody knows what causes this?

zeiss france sent me a program that makes that but i guess you need to have PCM to modify the stylus names

thansk a lot for sharing

Unfortunately, constrainig the location is the best option for very small radius measurements. I have noticed the following, when constraining radius position: Unconstrained: low form error, but position is way out due to small arc/lack of opposing points Constrained: position is forced to nominal; high form error (due to nominal position not being in the nominal location that it is being forced to assume) I always report the form result as a reference characteristic. Whenever possible, I try to use physical radius gages to verify CMM results.

Hi, I do a quite similar way to align a Cylinder styli but I do need as described some rounds and calculate the corrections outside. Then type in the corrections by hand. This take lot of time per styli system. What I need is an complete automatic program wich do the same things but insert the correction values by self. And the best solution is to integrate this to the standard automatic stylus calibration. Yesss: I have a dream....!
