Delta Value for Secondary Alignments


---

Recommended Posts

I get 0 as the value, with and without the name of the coordinate system in the field.

I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Euler values are basically angles (showing orientation of part with respect to coordinate system).
Euler is the name of the mathematician so no difference in translation there.

I have seen zero delta values for base alignments that have features such as plane, cylinder, etc. because iterations are not required for such alignments. But when we use other types of alignment strategies to follow some datum target points/areas where we would need iterations to get the alignment in best condition as possible (RPS alignments, using points instead of features,etc.), you will see a non-zero delta values. And I believe it to be true for secondary alignments as well. So that's a probable cause for zero delta value that Richard was looking at.

The difference System () valueA is just for looping, I think?
Does the secondary alignment show on your default report?
Wouldn't getActual("2nd Alignment1").valueA work in the result element?
Not running anything I can check it on.

Awesome - Thank you all.

Another question, is the delta value for Secondary Alignment based on its difference to the Base Alignment or to the alignment the features are measured to?

I believe it's a delta to the base alignment. It's been a long time since I tried to look at that, but I think the delta values I saw were far too large to be anything but.

Dang - OK. I'm trying to create an iterative secondary alignment, and also report the delta value for those. Make sense why I was seeing some HUGE numbers.

I am not sure if you can make TRUE iterative alignment same as base alignment. I tried once and it was same like measuring element in loop - no changes.

But i can be wrong

Do you think that is because the looped base alignment corrections made any
subsequent secondary alignment that much better, and a loop wasn't needed?

I think that the established secondary coordinate system simply isn't updated based on the actual probing. From what I remember, the delta value didn't change at all. Even if it were due to increased probing accuracy, I would expect to see fluctuations within the bounds allowed by the machine's MPE.

If is anyone interested in iterative secondary alignment, then you must create additional elements used in secondary alignment with setted secondary alignment in element.
Then you create third alignment with this additionaly created elements. Only by this you can use change from secondary as iterative.

Hope everyone understand this 🤣

Exactly. This is what I do. Was hoping for a way to report the delta value though. I wonder if I report the absolute change between alignment 1, and loop if that would give me what I want.

Ah.
So a Base Alignment with it's features.
Alignment1 with it's own features referencing the Base Alignment.
Alignment2 with it's own features referencing Alignment1

One of the applications engineers at Zeiss that does quite a bit of work with/for us.
Told me (and I've seen him do it) that a loop with no condition WILL improve itself.
In addition I can verify that it does improve after one or two iterations.
