[Ja...] Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 We have several Zeiss machines and unfortunately have people who operate them that shouldn't. I have been saving the Status window logs to try to keep an idea of what is going on when i am not here. Last night I don't know what they did but there are codes and errors I have not seen. Is there anywhere that these error codes are listed to give me a better idea of what the heck they did or were doing?? The log is almost 2 hours of errors, restarts and collisions. I had a mess when i came in this morning. I know 23 is a missed hit and 33 is an actual collision, but the others I am not sure.I have attached images of the log if it helps. Thank You in advanceMicura Status Log1.PNGMicura Status Log2.PNGMicura Status Log3.PNG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 If you do a forum search you should find some of those errors. Too many different errors at once. Looks like a controller problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ja...] Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 I had searched the forum first and didn't find much on the codes. A bit more detail of the events on last night, I received an email about 8:30pm last night, that somehow they crashed it into the probe rack. Then another one at 8:45pm saying he fixed it. He being someone who isn't supposed to be "fixing" it. He "fixed" it in the past and created tons of issues that time too. and then another at 10pm stating that they are having issues with probes not changing. It wasn't until this morning when i got here and looked at the status log that i found out they had been messing with it for 2 hours last night instead of letting it be and waiting for me to fix it. We have too many people that don't know what they are doing and don't respect the CMMs for what they are that are operating and now "fixing" them.

[Cl...] Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Autorun! We lock everyone out, all they can do is run a program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ow...] Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 WARNING: Not sure what type of CMM you have but, I can tell you from experience that we once had a tech run the z-axis column into one of the probe racks and knocked the CMM out of square. Probe qualification WILL NOT detect the CMM being out of square. This was on a 12ft Accura CMM with a vast scanning probe on it. The tech somehow hit the probe rack with the side of the Z column, not the probe head. Because he was a tech, we assumed he knew what he was doing and didn't know it was out of square until two days later we checked a housing type of part that was about 3 foot tall and 4ft long and the front and back faces showed 0.200mm out of perpendicular to the bores going thru the middle of the housing and we knew that wasn't right.

[Cl...] Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 There are two of us (programmers) and one guy on nights that attended the basic class. He is able to take care of most minor problems during that shift. Besides autorun, We use Poke Yoke fixturing along with clear set-up instructions. Inevitably, some "know it all" will do something stupid, and oops there's $10,000.00 down the drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ja...] Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 We do utilize the autorun. That is why I am not sure why or how this occurred Do you all have it where they can't change probes? Ours is currently set to where they can change the probes (Automatic and Manual) but that is so the Night shift Tech can qualify the probes while there is light use. (The tech that does the probes is not the one who created this mess). The Machine is a Micura 5/5/5 with a Vast XTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Right, the only probe changes allowed are the ones in the program.We gave the night shift guy a different password with more rights that allows only him to qualify styli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cl...] Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Can you verify any serious damage? We created an artifact that we use if there has been a crash. Measuring this artifact tells us enough to either fell warm and fuzzy, or down in the dumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ja...] Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 We don't have anything like that to verify the machine. What kind of options would I have that I could try to verify the squareness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ow...] Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Although a bigger part/area would be preferred, you could use something as simple as a precision 1,2,3 block to check squareness. If you're out of square/perpendicular from one side to the other, you could project the error out to see how big of error you may have a longer lengths. The key is making sure whatever you use has been verified to be square to begin with and I'm not sure all 1,2,3 blocks are. If quality doesn't have anything, sometimes a maintenance department will have a master square to help level and set machines. You might have a local gauge calibration company that might have something you could borrow or rent? It probably wouldn't be perfect, mines not, but, you might be able to take a height stand and indicator place in on the CMM granite, set the indicator to zero and move the Z axis up and down to see if it stays at zero. Again, not the best way because the CMM is CAA corrected but, if you seen a lot of change while moving the column up and down, I'd be a bit concerned because by design, it should be close, on both the front and side of the column .

[Ja...] Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 So, is there a way to lock out the handbox for different users? That way if something does happen, the user MUST get a tech or myself and it would make it where they can't play with the machine at all. We had a shift lead tell a worker to go play with the CMM a few weeks ago, and they crashed it. Was a different machine but yeah, that is what I am working with...... 😠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ja...] Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Has anyone ever encountered an error code 617 Safety Module I am trying to get our contura back up and running but it keeps throwing this error when it goes to move -X and kicks the drives out.Contura Issue.PNG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ja...] Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Hopefully you all don't see this error code. I have been told I need to replace the controller now. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
