Collision Message Errors in Calypso Planner 7.6

[[Mi...]]

Whenever I run a simulation in Calypso Planner, I receive error messages such as “Positions outside measuring range.” These errors appear specifically when the system attempts to change a stylus in the magazine. Currently, there is no magazine available for XXT probes, which prevents me from creating a rack using the magazine.

I suspect the Position Outside Measurement Range is due to 1 or 2 things. The first is that, as you say, you have no probe rack, so simulation defaults to going to 0,0,0 to do the exchange, which is outside of the measurement range technically. The second is that frequently in simulation the part is not located on the virtual CMM in the way it would be on a physical machine(often the simulated part is located with its origin at the CMM system origin, as happens by default when loading, unless the CAD model positioning tools are used), so when simulation travels around the part as it would, it travels outside the simulated CMM volume, generating these messages.

Yes, the part was already properly positioned within the virtual CMM working area. The only movements that remain at position zero are related to probe changes, as there is no probe rack configured in the simulation.

Is there anything I can do within the simulation setup to eliminate these errors?
