Issue with Calypso Planner 7.6 Simulation – Incorrect Coordinates

[[Mi...]]

Hello, Zeiss forum members!

I'm facing an issue while setting up the simulation in Calypso Planner 7.6. I've configured everything correctly, including the dimensions of the RDS XXT head, but when testing the stylus positioning, it does not move to the correct coordinates.

Here’s what I’ve already tried without success:
✔️ Probe calibration
✔️ Configuration of RDS XXT head dimensions
✔️ Review of the stylus system definition
✔️ Verified software updates
✔️ Checked simulation settings

Despite all of this, Calypso does not apply the necessary correction to position the stylus correctly. Has anyone encountered this issue and found a solution? Is there a specific adjustment I should try?

I’d appreciate any help!

Rauch, Miguel

Hi Miguel, 

When you say you have configured the RDS XXT head dimensions are you using the following under Extras > Settings > CMM > Stylus System > Xs: 0 +Xm, Ys: 60 -Ym, and Zs: 188.1 -Zm as detailed in CALYPSO Planner Simulation Set Up. 

It is crucial that the steps are executed in the correct order for the RDS-XXT simulation to function properly.

The steps are as follows:

1. Configure the machine with RDS-XXT.

2. Establish the connection.

3. Import the master probe (ssc).

4. Qualify the master probe.

5. Calculate the fitting position.

Once these steps are completed, the simulation can be started, or additional stylus systems can be loaded. If you skip a step, it is advisable to start with a new machine tab configuration as it can be more default to correct a broken tab then simply start from the beginning.

Hi Charlie,

Thank you for your detailed instructions. I followed them carefully, and they worked perfectly! The setup went smoothly, and everything is functioning as expected.

I really appreciate your guidance and support. Let me know if there's anything else I should keep in mind.

Best regards,
Miguel

Dear,

i follow your step. It's not clear that step4 and step5 for me. Can you help explain?

4. Qualify the master probe.

5. Calculate the fitting position.

Is something wrong?

While in simulation, try going to Plan > Travel to Nominal Position.  Enter X0 Y0 and Z2.5 (assuming metric)   This should move the center of your MasterProbe so the tip is touching the top of your part.  If not, something is off.

Make sure you have entered a radius for your MasterProbe. Then go to the qualification window and run a "ref sphere position" to qualify it along with a "fitting position".

It seems something still wrong....

Can you show the operation from the first step? I think there are still something wrong.  and when it's successful, Can you also help import another probe as example?

Version 7.4.24 (24.06.2024)

 

The steps are as follows:

1. Configure the machine with RDS-XXT.

2. Establish the connection. - Once the connection is established Calypso automatically creates a MasterProbe. You can't delete this MasterProbe.

3. Import the master probe (ssc). - You are not allowed to import a MasterProbe SSC file, Calypso will not allow you to overwrite the MasterProbe.

4. Qualify the master probe.

5. Calculate the fitting position.

If I recall correctly, I had to have a Zeiss tech remote in and fix this offline seat. Which I am at that point again because the MasterProbe SSC model has disappeared (along with several other SSC models). Most of the probes created and imported (SSC) no longer show proper contact.

All of the missing probe models are still in the proper location.

I have a backup of the setup, using those files fixes nothing.

Absolutely no one has made any changes to the installation. Calypso just loses itself most likely from the many unknown software crashes that happen.

Here is a video from the start. There is a size limit so I can't make it much longer. You must:

1. Configure the machine with RDS-XXT making sure to add the stylus system offsets.

2. Establish the connection. 

3. Import the master probe (ssc). - You must import a MasterProbe SSC

4. Qualify the master probe after entering a radius. 

5. Calculate the fitting position.

6. Add any additional styli you wish. 

If you are having issues I would suggest creating a new configuration tab and start from the beginning. For a more detailed walk through you can reference CALYPSO planner + simulation eLearning Competence Package

A reboot of the PC and restart of Calypso and now I can import a MasterProbe SSC file...🤷‍♂️

WEIRD.

I just want to give a big shoutout to this post right here! I had been trying to setup simulation on my Contura G2 with an RDS XXT TL3 Head and after probably 10 times...thinking I had it on the last time and seeing when I finally executed a feature that my probe went through the part and another was about an inch from the part, I was ready to SCREAM! - LOL

Then I came to this post...tried again (I'm a professional simulation setter-upper if anyone needs help!) and with the message from

 everything went perfect! It was the simple step of adding my Masterprobe radius before hitting Reference Sphere Position that I was missing!

Thanks Charlie and all in the forum! Have appreciate all the help getting back into Calypso!

It seems that having Calypso automatically import the correct radius for the MasterProbe for a given sensor would be an easy thing to fix.  Along with knowing the orientation of the XXT sensor on a fixed mount.
