Graphics anomaly with Form plot?


---

Recommended Posts

I am using form to plot and print in PiWeb for circle that has two broken scans.

When I add this to the form characteristic, the plot looks weird, like its twisted at both ends.

If I plot the same radius, but only use a single arc scan, it plots fine.

THe reported form for dual arc scans and single arc scans are .0004".

Attached is the form plot as shown on the screen (and report), the second image is the actual scanned path.

Calypso v2017

 

Any help is appreciated.

As an FYI, these plots and PiWeb are doing strange things. The plots setup to view and print change, all by themselves.

What filter do you have there or evaluation. For me it looks like bad gauss :-)

Can you post like it looks like with only one path points?

Form characteristic will use actual origin of feature as nominal, so you would need to compensate for that while showing only one path.

Once again - what form deviation is reporting feature and what numbers are shown on CAD view? isn't that just a big scale of deviations?

It is gauss, I played with other filters, but the result was the same.

With one pass, it displays normally.

The part has a 16ra finish and using a trace machine, it doesn't display any abnormalities and records a .000421" form which correlates with the form reported by Calypso.

Attached is with a single scan.

Is it scanned with same probe? If not, then i would suggest calibration.

How much actuals of origin differs between: only left scan / only right scan / both scans?

One probe that scans all of the sphere for reporting.

No articulations, Z Down.

The band shown in the prior image is .0005" max. The minor wobbles are what creates the .00004" form.

And I just noticed I typoed the original value for reported form, it was .0000421"
