[Je...] Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 You controlled axes do not match from Base Alignment to Start Alignment. In your BASE you are using "Right Face" to control X axis rotation but in your START align you are using it to control rotation relative to Z. Personally, I wouldn't use a cylinder as a "Rotation in Space" in a START alignment as you can easily change the axis of the cylinder by probing the "wrong end" first. I would use the Plane as the "Rotation in Space" and a circle that is contained in that cylinder to define relevant origins. No need to over-complicate a Start Alignment as it just there to simplify your initial part pickup for Base Alignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I never used a Start alignment on any job, ever, this is the first time I set it up because of the comments and I am trying to find out why the controller thinks the part is somewhere else other than where it actually is, and I thought I defined it in the base alignment but apparently not well. So I will adjust my Start alignment and Base too, to match, and try it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ri...] Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 A few things I take issue with this Measurement Plan. 1) It appears that while you have Clear Existing Results activated, you are running from Current Alignment. Please switch this to the program named alignment. Original Corrected 2) Your Planar Rotation uses an intersection point created from (2) 2d Lines (TOP PEAK 1, TOP PEAK 2). There is no strategy defined for these features, so in this condition it will not run. This needs to be corrected. 3) Bore Right is a Cylinder, but there is only one Circle Path - while Calypso will sometimes give you a result with this strategy, the results are going to be nonsensical. I'd suggest changing to a Circle. 4) There are probe artifacts showing in your CAD Display. These can be removed by going to CAD - Modify CAD Entities - Hierarchy - selecting the entities - right click and delete. 5) In addition, I have seen Base Alignments get corrupted before, so it might be safe to go to File - Delete Base Alignment - select your program named alignment, and delete them (delete the CNC as well). After doing this, go back to your Base Alignment window, and it will recreate it for you. After correcting these things. Please try a manual alignment one more time, and see if your issue persists.

I deleted all part numbered base alignments and did a new manual base alignment, changed the 2 round features characteristics from cylinder to circle, reconfigured all approaches from (apparently -Z) to +Z, +X and -X, respectively and defined the strategy to the linear features , which were added in just recently and in the midst of all the issues, were forgotten to be completed. They are all done now and the program runs nicely as intended. Thank you and all others for the input and advises, I appreciate the help. Thanks and cheers !! 🙂all green - all good.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
