getting the most from our CMM and Calypso

[[ch...]]

In the last year or so we have really started putting our machines to work. With the help of 3-D printing it has helped us transform the way we think about maximizing our CMM uptime- with multi load fixtures and implementation of star probes its changed everything.

I'm interested to see if other people are running large batches and share success stories and headaches we've over come.

one head ache i've yet to over come is having multiple reports populate onto one report with the range. Anyone been successful with this?

The attached was huge for us- we used to stand a guy in front of a shadow graph for hours on end- now we load an go and run lights out for 8 hours.

lets hear your success stories.

Are utilizing Table Files into Merge Files. If not, this is a good way to get all data into 1 file which can then be opened with Excel and arranged in any particular order you want. The trick is managing the Merge Files.

If you want to merge files in one click, just edit this .cmd file:

copy *.txt NewFile.bkup
del *.txt
rename NewFile.bkup NewFile.txt
exit

Then you'll have to copy the .txt Table Files in the same folder as the .cmd file and execute it.

We use the .chr files. Copy them to a folder. Then use Excel Power Query Editor to pull the .chr into Excel. Once in Excel create a Pivottable.
