[AG...] Posted December 2, 2024 Share Posted December 2, 2024 I am using the Vast XXT head and programming from 3D. It runs the alignment great but then when it tries to pick up this feature after i select from CAD it errors out. It runs into the part. I have adjusted clearance distance to try and solve the problem at hand, no luck. The thing is i have 5 other features like this to check. This is really my second or third time working with Calypso in this way with the XXT head. Looking for what specific thing i am not seeing. Thank you for any response.

[Cr...] Posted December 2, 2024 Share Posted December 2, 2024 Double check this setting to make sure it's checking ID and not OD. Sometimes Calypso picks the wrong one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ri...] Posted December 2, 2024 Share Posted December 2, 2024 Can you post another screen shot like your original but include the trihedron of your base alignment. It appears your approach is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[AG...] Posted December 2, 2024 Author Share Posted December 2, 2024 Here is the Base Alignment. I see the OD to ID that it chose, its been about 6 years since i jumped back on Calypso software. Everything is still the same but just little quirks like OD to ID. I was wondering if i am needing to rotate A and B to approach the correct vector and i see the direction you are referencing to. Been a minute since year 2000 that i used a articulating head and that was on a Eclipse model. Thank you for the response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[AG...] Posted December 2, 2024 Author Share Posted December 2, 2024 That worked, thank you. I changed my approach to -Z and the head rotated like it should but now it is having trouble locating the first point of scan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[AG...] Posted December 2, 2024 Author Share Posted December 2, 2024 This is where it is trying to take the start point which is correct, it is hitting the side of part and not on the dimple as shown. The start point is on the side. I tried adjusting my clearance distance and it still drives to this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[AG...] Posted December 2, 2024 Author Share Posted December 2, 2024 This is the first/start point it is trying to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted December 2, 2024 Share Posted December 2, 2024 I'm not sure you're going to be successful measuring a circle due to the fillet radius... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[AG...] Posted December 2, 2024 Author Share Posted December 2, 2024 Maybe i am taking this feature incorrectly with what i am trying to do here. This feature is pressed out to a diameter like a punch, as seen in previous picture. Should i go about this in a different way? It has callouts that is asking from Datum -B- which is the larger diameter in the middle of part. I am trying to get #27,#28 and #29 balloon dimension.

[Cl...] Posted December 2, 2024 Share Posted December 2, 2024 Based on the drawing, your CP should be +Z. Unless you probing from underneath the part as pictured? Look at your approach and retract. If they are too large, that might be the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have been trying all that i can and failing miserably lol! What might you suggest or is this and the other 5 features of the same a lost situation?

The head rotates the angle it should. The picture is where it wants to take the first hit. My clearance is at 0.00 and retract is at .1969.

If you had a ViScan sensor on your machine, you might be able to pick up the features "manually" with some of the available measuring tools that come with an optical sensor. I really don't have much else to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i adjusted my retract distance it was closer to feature and it picked up the first point to start the scan but seems like it loses itself after and errors out.

[Ri...] Posted December 2, 2024 Share Posted December 2, 2024 You are set to scan from the OD instead of the ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ma...] Posted December 2, 2024 Share Posted December 2, 2024 You should also add Clearance Distance. This will allow the probe to move on a normal vector of the hole. You may also want to add Projection in the Circle Dialog box. Currently it is set to None. Select 3 points and set this up. It will take a 3 point plane around the diameter first and allow you to set the exact depth into the diameter you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
