Process Flow for Setting Up VMR and Multipart Inspection

[[JO...]]

I'm trying to set up a measurement template for measuring 16 pieces (1 piece per cavity from a 16 cavity tool) with a fixture on a Scanport with our Atos Q.  I can't seem to find what I need to get this set up properly, though.  I have attached pictures of a general example of what I'm working with - one picture just shows a single part in the "cavity 1" position and the other shows how it has all 16 parts.  This is not the actual setup, but a good representation.

I can successfully:

1. pre-scan the reference points
2. scan the parts
3. align them to CAD via prealignment with help points
4. construct nominal and actual features to create coordinate system for main alignment of CAD to cavity 1 part.
5. construct features on center of fixture scan data to create work space partition
6. construct features and inspect OD at the top of the 1st part
7. create cluster for that inspection
8. copy cluster to get results for all 16 parts

I have pulled in the fixture design and aligned to CAD manually, although that seems to mess with the prealignment and initial features constructed.

I've looked through the materials I have available - Tech Guide, the training we have in our online portal, this forum, etc - and am at a loss as to how to actually set this up properly.  What should this process flow look like?  

Our end goal is to be able to use this in Kiosk mode for our quality team to inspect parts.

Hi Jonathan,

if you have access to the Scanbox/Scancobot Training, there is an additional Video for the Multipart setup in the training center. 

Basically, you would create several Parts in the project and create a measuring setup -> Position: Independent

After that, the workflow is similar to a single part project. Create alignments in the part, add inspections etc, then run smart teach/scan. It is less work if you create one single part with everthing you want and then copy and past the part container, so you don't have to create anything n times. (Not sure how well a cluster works across mulitple parts in this application to be honest).

There is also a Kiosk workflow, which will use a measuring template and the evaluation of the parts will be done in defined evaluation templates. This is for example important for export, because in a project there can only exist one element with the same name.

I would recommend to reach out to the support for the first multipart setup in your scanbox.

Thanks, Nanno.  

I have a call with our local support tomorrow to discuss.
