Wires not on probe build model

DAN_M
I really wish they would include the wires and whatever else is ACTUALLY on the hardware.. on the CAD model itself..that PC DMIS shows you in your Graphic Display Window.

I wrote a program where the CMM measures a lot of the stuff on the underside of my part. Everything passed collision detection so I ran it in real life. While at T1A-115B0, I forgot about the wire that hangs out the front & had a crash. Also, that rectangular box shaped thing messed me up and I had to work around that too. I was running real slow and was able to e-stop before anything bad happened. Part was fine, nothing was damaged, but I had to spend a decent amount of time editing the program =/ I know I could have walked my ars3 out to the CMM and saw that stuff on the machine..but I am curious why it isn't actually on the software? Isn't this why i paid good money for a software that had collision detection?

Has a situation like this happened to anyone else?

  • I programmed a shop floor CMM with a head like that. We had different heads on the other CMM's and new programmers would forget that wire when taking a program off the network to run. The wire was visibly worn after like 3 months.

    Not to mention that every '2.5 & 7.5 angle and every negative A orientation in your program makes Renishaw heads incapable of running it. (w/out extensive editing & a prove-out)

    I mention this because so frequently customers, especially smaller customers have a Renishaw equipped CMM.
    Because of this, when programming on Leitz etc heads, I only use Renishaw angles (every 5 degrees and positive A angles only, 105 degree max) so the program can be shared later.

    One redeeming advantage over the PH-10 is that it will go lower in Z.
