Checking flange tilt (inclination) on pipe spool

[[Ad...]]

Hello everyone,

I’m working on the measurement of spools and I would like to check the tilt on the flange.

Of course, the first and obvious step is to check the position of the circle center on the measured flange. However, my challenge is to evaluate the inclination (tilt) of the measured circle in relation to the nominal circle created on the model of the flange.

I’ve attached screenshots that explain more clearly what I mean.

Has anyone dealt with a similar case or could suggest the best approach in ZEISS Inspect?

 

Ideally, I would like to check the tilt in two planes (as shown in the attached screenshot), but a resulting overall tilt value would also be acceptable :).

 

Overall:

Hi Adam,

We created a software specifically for this outwith ZEISS Inspect called SoftFit - FlangeFit - happy to give you an extended trial.

Hi Adam,

you could create a local coordinate system on nominal "by geometric elements" (ZEISS Quality Tech Guide) (maybe "by orientation") -> referenced construction. The resulting nominal coordinate system can be checked for position and angles.
