Calibration Program

[[Ra...]]

I finally figured out a way to write a program to calibrate all of the probes in the rack, but is there a way to report the results when it is done.
Thanks,
Rachel

Hello Rachel,

if you use the standard calibration function of Calypso, just use the Default printout. You have to start this one manually because the CNC start menu does not show it. Otherwise, you can start the measurement without ANY printouts and plots activated. At the end, you will get your calibration protocol automatically.

I hope this helps.

Also, if you activate "Save to PDF", it will generate a pdf of the default print out,

You can also create the attached result element that will output the sigma value.

Those are some REALLY nice write ups there Mr. Ted. Where were you 9 yrs ago LMAO

Great job as I am positive it helps the new guys out. 🤠 🤠

Hello sir,
Your explanations with pdf attachment was awesome,and I want to know one topic on "programmable stop" .how it's used in program.

This is just one of many uses for the programmable stop. Say you have a program
where the operator has to remove, or install a flex plug. Insert a programmable stop
(with a position point) in the feature before the feature measuring the flex plug.
Here you can instruct the operator to install, or replace it.

how mutch sigma value we can have to have a aceptable stylus, i had a small colision withh a D6L100 stylus with the body carbon fiber i had previous sigma values before colision 0.0002, afte rcolision i have values between 0.0008 to 0.0014 depending of the angular position.

Anyone can help me ?

Hi Luis - What type of stylus is it and what type of qualification are you using? Typically for most standard stylus, I would recommend not exceeding 0.001mm sigma. However, CAA qualifications or long skinny stylus could exceed that and be just fine. Since it is following a collision, I may recommend running some tests on known parts or gages to ensure that everything is measuring normally rather than relying solely on the sigma numbers.

Hi Caitlin, 

Im using this stylus D6L100 with carbon fiber shaft.

 

For the calibration im using the qualify passive stylus (scanning calibration)

I will run some tests with ring gauge to make sure the stylus is still good, but the sigma values from 0.0001/0.0002 to  0.0008 to 0.0014 are concerning me

I'm presuming that you visually inspected the stylus for damage (under magnification)?

Anything higher than 0.0005 is unusual for us. (That is including using RDS+CAA+0.6mm tipped L-probes with extensions)
