[Aa...] Posted August 28, 2024 Share Posted August 28, 2024 Does anyone know if there is a way to determine the posiion and orientation of the Base Alignment in the machine envelope for a measurement run? Perhaps there would be a way to do it with a result element using a specific pcm formula? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ky...] Posted August 28, 2024 Share Posted August 28, 2024 Hello Aaron, By machine envelope, do you mean relative to the machine axes? Because you can make a secondary alignment based on the CMM coordinates (e.g. 0,0,0 being in the left/back/top of the machine). When you create a secondary alignment from resources>utility>alignment, there is a drop down at the top that you can select "CMM System" from. Let me know if that was what you were talking about.

[Aa...] Posted August 28, 2024 Author Share Posted August 28, 2024 Perfect! Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Aa...] Posted September 17, 2024 Author Share Posted September 17, 2024 So, I added a Secondary alignment from the CMM System and named it 'Machine CS' (creative, I know...) What it left in the Default Printout is this: Machine CS Alignment -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (CMM system) X -62.782909 Tilt Direction Y/X 0.000000 Y 302.154119 Angle Of Inclination 0.000000 Z 179.208987 Plane Angle Y/X 360.000000 Delta Value 544.146016 Plane rotation 0.000000 I could use a little help understanding what all this information. The X, Y, and Z values obviously reveal where in the Base Alignment the CMM system's origin lies. I don't think the Delta value is of any value to me. What do the four angles represent, and what range of values could they potentially have? (My example is perhaps overly simplistic, since my BA was set up to inherit both angles from the CMM system, because it only contained a single sphere, which served as the X, Y, Z origin of the BA.)
