Curves to Profile

[[Cr...]]

Hello to all the helpful, people!

Been working with curves on several different parts, but not sure if I'm constructing the curves correctly to report the Profile highlighted in the attached picture.
I'm using touch probe (.4mm) to scan the highlighted areas separately. 1) first scan starts at the R.017 and ends at the same feature on the left side. 2) second scan starts left side of the R.028, trying to avoid the sharp corners.

Then I construct those two curves into one main curve and report that as Line Profile, (will not let me use Surface Profile)

Other then not being able to report the Surface Profile, the part that I'm measuring is consider a "Good" part, but I'm getting .005-.007 profile.

Is there a better way to do this? How do I go about getting it to report the Surface Profile?


Thank you for the help.

You'll need Free From surface to do this correctly.

That being siad, curves are a good way to measure ad collect the raw data.

I would then recall those in to a FFS and report surface profile

2 or 3 section cut measurements is typically sufficient.

have you had curve training ?

If Datum Reference Frame |C|A|B| constrains all Degrees of Freedom, then maximum value of several curves will give the same deviation as freeform surface.
