Hey guys! I'm brand new to CMM programming. I have all of 3 weeks or so of experience with all of this. I was given the task of learning to run the CMM at our shop. I have not gone through any formal training. So far all my training has been self taught using the instruction manual, youtube videos and this forum. So much great information here.
I am using PCMIS 2019 R1 with a Hexagon Optiv Reference 10103 Dual Z machine. Our machine has probe, scan probe, camera and laser scan capabilities. I'm getting a pretty good handle on the probing portions. Right now I am working on inspecting two identical parts. As of now, I have the machine probing all the features of part 1 and when it is completed it moves over to the second part on the table and runs the same measurements on part 2.
It takes about 10 minutes to inspect both parts. I know I am definitely not using our machine to its full capabilities but I'm having to move along on my own until we can get Hexagon here on site for training. My question is this......Is there a way to utilize my camera to scan a part and get the same measurements I am getting with the probe? I understand it is possible and could save time. I just want to try to see what this machine is capable of and find the easiest, fastest and most accurate way to inspect my parts.
