[To...] Posted Thursday at 05:12 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:12 PM (edited) I was executing a feature and this happened. This is not an XTR. In 22 years, I have never seen this happen. I couldn't stop it. Hit e-stop. I was afraid to record the video but felt I had to. Actually had to turn power off to get it to stop.

[Ma...] Posted Thursday at 06:38 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:38 PM That was hilarious 😄 I would assume that something went wrong with that active head and only power off will help. I hope it's only one time bug and not for buying a new head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, every once in a while, when I am doing a probe change, as it is picking up a stylus system, it sits in the rack for up to 30 seconds before it comes out, acting like nothing happened. A service tech said "it was just thinking". Please sign in to view this username. We will see. Please sign in to view this username. I hope it was a one time thing, too. CMM Check time.

[Ri...] Posted Friday at 01:13 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:13 PM Yeah. I believe there are "tarration motors" - or essentially the motors that tare the weight (balance the system). I've had them get "tweaked" before. I've never seen it this bad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted Monday at 08:04 AM Share Posted Monday at 08:04 AM I know something similar, it happened after a heavy crash. The probe is broken or 💩💀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Dr...] Posted Monday at 01:48 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:48 PM Please sign in to view this username. I'd be curious to know whether the sensor was registering any rapidly-changing position values through the jogbox/stoplight at the time - though not curious enough to say, "do it again!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ow...] Posted Monday at 02:01 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:01 PM I'll join the list of saying that I have seen this happen before. It was over 12 years ago and if memory is correct, fairly sure we had to replace the Vast XT head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted Monday at 07:06 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 07:06 PM Please sign in to view this quote. Didn't notice. I was scrambling to make it stop and get a quick recording of the action. I'm guessing this will be an intermittent problem until it is a fully-mittent problem. For now, it seems to not have affected the performance, as I re-ran the last part from a few days before it happened and the results were within 0.0001-0.0002mm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ch...] Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago But honestly, do you believe this head can heal itself? I have a few gray hairs and have been doing this job for 20 years. But with something like this, I don't believe in repeatability or accuracy anymore. Sorry. Crazy Folks 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted 15 hours ago Author Share Posted 15 hours ago (edited) Please sign in to view this username. Absolutely not. However, does it mean the sensor no longer works? I am running some simple accuracy and repeatability checks right now. Then, I will be running our CMM Check artifact program. We are also working on a plan to deal with it. I'd like to know what caused it. Is it a failure of the sensor or was there an external trigger that caused it? I will post results shortly.

This might make you guys feel better: I had one cmm, my lemon cmm, that blew through 2 heads in 2 years. Both times it was tarration motors going out (they didn't look nearly as bad as what Tom's did). IT NEVER IMPACTED THE ACCURACY. The CMM was really my lemon cmm. Not only did it keep blowing heads, all the drives eventually got noisy and had to be replaced, some more than once. No major crashes. The machine was kept in the same room as two other identical cmms. All 3 had the same usage and same operators, but only 1 cmm was a problem. Ultimately, we found the cmm had undergone a lot of settlement (this was a brand new building with new concrete. Some concrete expert can comment and suggest what might have happened). This problem CMM settled much more than the other two in the same room. Got it releveled and lasered. The problems went away. Haven't blown a head or drive in 5 years now and no more settlement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[To...] Posted 10 hours ago Author Share Posted 10 hours ago (edited) Update. I ran my probe verification program 10 times and other than the radius reported for the MasterProbe and the X/Y/Z values, it doesn't look too bad. I'm surprised the radius with MasterProbe wasn't "spot on" like the 2.0 probe. Good enough for some parts, not so much for the kinds of parts we got the Prismo for. Yes, we do have a call into service. Stylus Verification_Post-Qual_2_TableProtocol.pdf Edited 10 hours ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
