[No...] Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Hi! Ever watched a cmm walk the tightrope? These parts have a large deviation due to welding. To measure the part correctly I used the edge curve function. I just found out about this function when it was brand new - a couple of Calypso releases ago. Few days later I received an inquiry for this job. ☺️ With a little help from my Zeiss application engineer it turned out to be a cool job. Made the video for my clients and prospects so it's in Dutch. I'm sure you'll get the point nontheless. https://youtu.be/gPTf1dnNhRI Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/7382-video-cmm-walking-the-tightrope/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you please describe the process in simple terms? Thank you.

[Ma...] Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 As far as my knownledge goes i would scan side close to main path as curve, then use alignment from curves and then measure main path. I don't believe there is such function which would correct whole main curve by scanning side - it would just help with position and not altering nominals 😱 Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/7382-video-cmm-walking-the-tightrope/#findComment-31090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
[No...] Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I'm not sure, since I don't use Curve (yet) but I think it measures a reference curve at the sides and follows it when scanning the outside. Or something like that... Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/7382-video-cmm-walking-the-tightrope/#findComment-31092 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[No...] Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 Who can better explain this than Zeiss themselves?! It's in the video of new feautures in Calypso 2020: https://portal.zeiss.com/academy/video- ... query=2020 The video that starts with the rocket launch... Explanation about edge curves starts at 45:30. Enjoy!

That didn't work for my screws. Since I couldn't have the approach point the way I wanted them. Not for the edge curve that is... You can also have another curve as the edge curve. I copied the original curve that I wanted to inspect. Moved the points a bit and rotated them 90 degrees around their tangent. Make sure both curves have the same number of points.

[Jo...] Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Going to bump this to the top. I've been experimenting with it. It is great for following casting features, china walls, vane tips etc Link to comment https://qualityforum.zeiss.com/topic/7382-video-cmm-walking-the-tightrope/#findComment-31108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
