From Geopak to PCDmis

My company is currently running a retro-fit Mitutoyo that still has Geopak on it. At any moment the Geopak could die. I have been given the task of training all the inspectors how to use PCDmis. Problem is I am new to it myself, and I have never operated the CMM using the Geopak software. I have used alot of information on site to get through most situations. After training a couple of inspectors, they would like to find a way to run it somewhat like the Geopak runs. Ex. Position the probe at an approximate center of a hole at the depth you want to check it at, hit the circle key, tell it how many hits, etc..Basically, do an Auto circle without making a full blown program with alignments an such. We mostly just do round stuff that we can't check any other way. Can PCDmis do this? Or any other suggestions?

Thanks for any input on this subject,
Ron

  • Does anyone know of any conversion software that will convert old 3D Geopak(v5.41 running on windows 95) to PC-DMIS(1st choice) or Calypso(2nd option)??


    There are none. Both PC-DMIS and Calypso are so uniquely developed that many details will be lost in translation.
    Best practice is to eat the time cost and write all new programs.
