[To...] Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I know this only applies to users with Active Scanning sensors but I am curious how many of you take advantage of the default Navigator settings for strategies, tangential probing, etc.. Do you use the default "Optimal" settings for speeds and points? Do you find advantages to using it? Disadvantages? My understanding is that helps with productivity when scanning large diameters but do smaller diameters benefit? Does it affect measurements of lines and planes? When qualifying styli in Dynamic Tensor mode, do you mind dealing with specific requirements for reference sphere orientations? Is it worth the extra time to have to re-position the reference sphere while qualifying a star probe? I understand you can have 2 reference spheres set up which would simplify the process. What about Navigator and/or Dynamic Tensor was taught when you took BASIC Calypso training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Is...] Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 The features in our components are small, we did several comparisons using navigator and Din-tensor, the difference in results was basically null… then some years ago we put the navigator option out of the SMA contract..

[Ch...] Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I don't like it. I want to be able to say exactly what Calypso is doing at all times. I hate when I forget to turn it off. A supplier will ask me how many points I take on a feature. I sound like a moron when I say "well I take the optimum number of points." PCD guys are like WTF???

[Ri...] Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I do dynamic whenever I can, or whenever I know that I am chasing microns. It is only needed for going fast. The optimum settings are nice, but I just use them as a reference point. Tangential Probing is nice, and so is Fly Scanning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Please sign in to view this quote. I've actually done this already. I'm giving myself 12 months to make sure I don't like it before I have it removed from my SMA's. I think that the tangential probing and fly scanning is cool and I thought I would use it more when I read the documentation, but I never really did.

[Ow...] Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Every application is different but, I just use tensor probably 99% of the time. There are exceptions where I’ll choose dynamic but generally, if chasing microns, I’ll use a ring or plug type gage and gage correction to increase accuracy and speed. It takes about as much time as changing the reference sphere angle. 90% of everything I do is one off type of work but, I guess buying more spheres to enable dynamic-tensor would be feasible in a production type CMM if you needed sub-micron accuracy and faster speeds. I do use tangential probing when possible and have it set to default. Tangential probing is like Patrick Mahomes throwing an accurate 60-yard pass around a defender on one leg while his torso is bent to the side, ..with his left hand… 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
