We just recieved some "UPDATED" print from a customer that they decied that they need to measure/control the ARC LENGTHS rather than the RAD. itself for assembly pourposes. Is measuring / reporting an ARC LEGNTH even possible ? Has anyone here ever done it ? I dont have any idea where to even start ?
If you're using a scan, with a very short distance between hits, you can calculate the lengh by summing the distance between hits. Some thing like it : ASSIGN\V1=1 ASSIGN\LENGTH=0 Loop from 1 to (SCN1.NUMHITS-1) ASSIGN\V2="SCN1.HIT["+V1+"]" ASSIGN\V3="SCN1.HIT["+(V1+1)+"]" ASSIGN\V4=SQRT(DOT(V3.XYZ-V2.XYZ,V3.XYZ-V2.XYZ)) ASSIGN\LENGTH=LENGTH+V4 ASSIGN\V1=V1+1 END LOOP
COMMENT\RAPPORT\"LENGTH = "+LENGTH
I'm not at the CMM, but I think it should work...
It can work for any kind of open scan...
For a closed scan (or closed circle), you have to ad the distance between the last point and the first one (SQRT(DOT(SCN1.HIT[SCN1.NUMHITS].XYZ-SCN1.HIT[1].XYZ,SCN1.HIT[SCN1.NUMHITS].XYZ-SCN1.HIT[1].XYZ)))
