Have any of you utilized CMM-equipped temp compensation (using the probe affixed to your part) with success before? I've been lucky for the past 10 years and had well controlled environmental conditions.
Now, I've got 3 cmm's which share the same HVAC as >20 injection molding presses... We see one daily, predictable -and thankfully slow- temp shift of about 9°F. It only has potential to affect one dimension on one of our many parts, with a potential shift of .0022" along a 5" long polypropylene tube (potentially consuming 11% of the 0.020" tolerance).
Sorry for hijacking, just seemed like a perfect spot to do it, lol.
