True Position in 3 axis???

1CMM4ME
Ok, I have read the post regarding this so called argument that my boss and I got into today. He told me that you cannot measure true position in 3 axis, as I told him he was wrong. I know it depends on the way the FCF calls it out, but I tried to explain to him that it is possible to measure TP in 3 axis.
I have seen the formulas, so I know it's possible. I just wish I could get one of you gurus to reply back explaining that it is possible and why. I see the picture but he does not. I do not like to get into pissing matches with upper management, but I have learned a h**ll of alot from you guys, and I know this is possible. So if one of you fine gentleman can back me up on this, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you very much.
Now I am going to get a cold beer.Smiley

  • I dont see how you can possilby call out a cylinder center point as a 3D TP.

    You could do the whole cylinder and that is sort of like 3D because the whole thing is evaluated. But a single point on the axis of a cylinder is not possible in the true sense. You might with the intersection of a plane, but why on earth would you do that, it has nothing to do with the location of the cylinder.

    Someone is pulling your leg.

    I agree.

    You simply do not use the dimension that runs parallell with the cylinders centerline when doing the TP. Only speculations of what you are facing, but it would sure be much easier if a print/scan of the drawing was posted.
