From Geopak to PCDmis

RBHouse
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)??

    If only it was that easy! I'm starting to transfer a bunch of old MeasureMax programs to PC-DMIS. I've found that the best way to do this is to print out the old program on paper, the re-create each motion and measurement in DMIS, cross that line off, and move onto the next move. Takes a long time, but the boss is happy when the new program runs just like the old one, whether it made sense that way or not (especially when he wrote the original program..).
