Probe Deviation in Curve


Recommended Posts

Has anyone ever come across this. One one flank of the gear tooth the probe follows the profile correctly. One the other side it follows the profile correctly, but reports a deviation of my probe width. Roughly 2mm(0.078").
This has only started doing this recently.
It's as if the software cannot determine which side of the probe to report with.

Max search distance is at default 0.1969.
Best Fit Rotation is fixed around Z axis. Translation Fixed along X and Y.

I created the curve by using CAD, Creating Features, Section (then I select the feature that I want), Hierarchy (which is where I select the profile that I want, and eliminate the points that I don't want), Creation ( I key in the number of points that I want, then click Curve).

Turn off the Rotation in the Z axis and see what it looks like.

I've never seen this error before, but what might be happening is the error isn't being split correctly for the Best Fit.

You might even try aligning to one tooth/gap, and measuring to that alignment instead of using the need of the Best Fit (at least in the Rotation side).

Is this a 2D curve? If so, then it may be that you need to "Digitize" the curve.

Apologies if I'm off-base. I'm short on time and could only skim this thread; However, most of the time that i've had probe radius corrections errors on 2D curves it was a result of not Digitizing the curve.
He created the curve off the cad model so, I can't see digitalizing it doing any good. Digitalizing is creating new nominals by scanning around the gear teeth to acquire them (new nominals) and unless you have a master part, I wouldn't recommend it.

When you open up the curve feature, does it show all the nominal vectors perpendicular to the surface, i.e pointing away from the curve line?
If some of the nominal vectors, any for that mater, point the opposite way, then that may be the problem. If so, I'd recommend recreating the curve from the model or you could go in an reverse each vector but, recreating it would be probably be quicker.
