Path Optimizer

cheesiechanman
Do you guys ever use the path optimizer? Does it work well? Does it really save as much time as it claims?

I tried using it on some smaller programs I have and it crashes the computer every time so I haven't actually utilized it. However when it calculates the new path it claims something like 70% optimization. what does that 70% mean?

Is it worth using?

  • Fly Mode is something i havent ever used. that and Fast Probe mode. What does fast probe mode do? does it just increase the machine speed?

    My understanding is that fast probe mode makes an analog probe work more like a TTP. When you take a hit with an analog probe it will first approach the part until the probe deflects past the trigger force. Then it will slowly back off and record the point position at the instant that trigger force is reached. It makes it more accurate. With fastprobemode I think it records the hit position on the approach and immediately rapids away. It makes touch points measure faster, but looses some accuracy (just a little). Not all analog probes/controllers will do it. I think most Renishaw probes aren't supported on that feature anymore. I once had a B&S machine with a SP25 that supported the feature. I only used it when taking points for the rough alignment. Saved a few seconds.
