Parameter Sets

Is there a way to create parameter sets at an offline seat, and move them to different online machines?

I realize they save in the probe file itself, but is it dooming to say- copy probe file from machine, create parameter set, paste probe file back to original location?

We do A LOT of offline programing and don't have the luxury of spending much time at the machine. We need to try having all these things setup prior to shipping a program to the floor.

Any help appreciated.

  • NinjaBadger, you raise an excellent point. Would you use all the real values of datum spheres on an offline seat? Or could I get by with a shell that is named equal (alpha/numeric/case being identical) to what I have on the machine?

    Thanks Matthew, you raised a question for me, what "good" does it do to have "calibrated" tips on an offline seat? Would probefile degredation be something that can be found running offline cals?

    So its understood, I took just the raw probefile from each different CMM. I have a list to keep track of what tip file is to what machine. Each machine has multiple probe builds, and I have qual tree's at each machine. My boss asked to have autocalibrations in every program. I get the use of parameter sets, but I was hoping there may be an understood 'SAFE' practice with out playing the back and forth game.
