Need some help

I am new to using PC-DMIS and trying to write a program. I have aligned the part and taken my measurements. What do I need to do so that when I move the part and put a different(butsame) part on my table it will be able to automatically run the program? Will I need to do a manual align everytime the part is moved? Thanks in advance for the help.

  • You could do this with a readpoint. Look at this thread.
    Also search readpoint in the forum.
    Basically, you place the probe near a corner or a hole, align to that and run from there.
    The part has to be fairly square to the axis', but the location can vary.

    Good point Snaggy. I click on "NEW POSTS" so I don't really notice which forum / sub-forum it is in.
    When we had a real Moderator (IE James Mannes), this would have been moved to the correct forum.
    I think some people post in the "Tips and Tricks" forum thinking "that's what I want is a tip", without understanding that it is a forum for posting Tips and Tricks.
    That would require actually reading the forum information. I think most of us can vouch for the fact that most people choose to ignore the opportunity to learn, and want the answer handed to them on a silver platter along with a Ho-Ho.


    You got a ho-ho? I think I would be too tired after a single ho to be able to do a ho-ho.....
