FARO arn V's Dmis alignments construction

UKCMM
Are there any FARO arm users that can explain the differences if any in alignment creation between these 2 software, I had thought that LEVEL,ROTATE, ORIGIN was standard and is in all the software I have used but not sure about FARO.

Am asking as I have had an inspector from our parent company placed with my department and he seems completely lost with the basics of using alignments in programs, he was there lead inspector/programmer using a FARO arm for the last 5 years.

  • I had to go over to the portable world meanwhile the new CMMs were ordered and put in the new lab, I was there for 1yr. I found that all 3 of the 'inspectors' had zero to no experience prior to picking up the arm. Long Story Short...

    We all used Verisurf. In that software you can import a CAD, pick a few target points and be on your way..... SCARY RIGHT!!!! No knowledge of 6 degrees of freedom or what Datums do is required lol. I can't even explain the worry I had of getting our 'doors closed down'.

    I took it upon myself to help these inspectors. They were a bit stubborn and didn't take advice very well...at first. By the end of the year I was able to 'teach' them just enough to keep them out of trouble. Some were humble enough to put the portable arm down and eat with the 'bench inspectors' but not all.
