[Mi...] Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Outside of Basic and Advanced classes and the forum I am mostly self-taught on Curve. Up to now have always gone with the default speed in scanning Curves. How fast can I go? The part in question is an 11.00" Impeller with a 60° pitch on the vanes.

[Cl...] Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I usually start with a speed that is 10% of the number of points used in the curve, and adjust if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ow...] Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Been some time since I worked with high volume inspection parts or something that is checked every day but, what I did was kept the best part I could fine and used it to scan the curves at normal, known to be repeatable and accurate speeds (which was normally the default speed) and use it to adjust the speed up until variation was found and then back off a bit from that threshold. Then take a bad part and see if it still checks bad because, surface finish and different forms of deviation can be incorrectly filtered out that may not be on the best part. A lot of variables to consider but, some larger involute type profiles can actually be scanned very fast (4 or more times default) and even though it takes some trial and error time to find that accuracy threshold, if you shave a couple minutes off cycle time, it can add up and actually pay for the time spent validating higher speeds.
