Delta Value for Secondary Alignments


Recommended Posts

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.

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 🤣

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.
