Well we just purchased a Romer with blue light scanner, This will be the first one I ever worked with. Technically we are getting this for the machinist to scan over the parts quickly on various operations, plus there has been times we had some funky parts with very tight profile tolerances. This is suppose to save me time, because I'm backed up on the CMM writing programs.......wait that means I got to write at least simple programs for the arm, yeah this will make things faster. Maybe I can keep it simple enough to get them to make simple programs for simple checks???? Well it ought to be fun.
Well I just got the arm in, put it all together, and I haven't got a clue how to use it. Plus I ask them to put 2020 R1 on there, and they didn't, so I downloaded it, and now I have to get it to recognize the scanner, so I guess I have to build that somehow. I tried calibrating the Sphere with the scanner, because you don't calibrate the tip? it says to put the laser in front of the Keystone, He_ll I haven't drank a Keystone in a long time, not sure even if they make that beer anymore. Really not sure what that means butwhen I point the laser at the sphere, It crashes PC-DMIS everytime. I got a lot of reading to do, so If anybody has any pointers feel free to speak. Like starting from scratch.

If it is like mine, there is a switch on the pistol grip for changing between the scanner and a hard probe.
You have to calibrate through the RDS software and not Pcdmis.
I'm pretty sure the calibration routine explains itself a you do it (but I'm not sure), but I think you start with the 3/4" hard probe (this is the MASTER probe, like for a rack on the CMM).
