[Al...] Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 We have many parts with MANY (up to 200) tapped holes Positioned to the minor diameter to (for example) -A-B-C-. These days I'm seeing composite DRF's to best fit the pattern as well. Is there a quick way to report the Min and Max Position results, instead of reporting all 200 holes with a Bore Pattern? Using the Min and Max Result doesn't work if you select the Bore Pattern. Thanks in advance.

[Ro...] Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Do you have PCM? I don't have time today but i have an idea, but if you don't have PCM then it wont work.

[Br...] Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 You can use result element. The formula for the maximum result should be-- getMaxActual("{your bore pattern name"}).deviation Formula for the minimum result should be-- getMinActual("{your bore pattern name"}).deviation Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/19178-reporting-min-and-max-position-results/#findComment-107888 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't know the syntax (and i've never done it before so i wanted to test it out) Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/19178-reporting-min-and-max-position-results/#findComment-107890 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Al...] Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Please sign in to view this quote. I tried that and came up with, what appears to be, a bogus result. I did not run the part, this is just what shows in the program:Capture.PNG Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/19178-reporting-min-and-max-position-results/#findComment-107892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Br...] Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Wait! its not the bore pattern name, its the characteristic name for the position of the bore pattern. I just tested it on one of my programs with real data and it works. Maybe try to actually run one, and verify that it does actually pick the maximum and minimum error.

[Al...] Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Please sign in to view this quote. I used the name of the characteristic in the formula, I think you're right about using real data. For some reason, I always forget about Result Element. Thanks for the feedback.

[Al...] Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Please sign in to view this quote. Well, I get the same bogus results after running the part., I still get 32.xxxx.

[Br...] Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Sorry I have to ask, you don't actually have one of your positions reporting 32 do you? I suppose that would probably end up as a maximum result if with were true. Not a minimum.

[Al...] Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Please sign in to view this quote. No, all position tolerances are at .004. If I switch the Dimension type from Number to Length, I get .0034 for my Min and .024 for my Max; The actual positions for the best fit pattern are all under .001. I created the program off-line in 6.4, with compatibility settings set for 5.4.12, which is what we run on the machines. I have new computers loaded with 6.4 to swap out but big wheels turn slow around here. Don't know if that's the culprit or not.

[Pe...] Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Are you working in inches or millimeters? If inches, you might try dividing by 25.4 and see if the numbers match up.
