Help guys!!!! 30pc study and runtime slowdown

Ok here is my question, I have been given the task of running a 30pc study on a rear window of a car. Just explain our plant is an Auto glass supplier for North America. So these rear windows are put on a fixture that checks for curve and bend comparison between the pieces. Once we have a alignment established on the fixture using tooling balls. The glass will be placed on the fixture and ran using pre selected points on the glass surface in CAD so we can compare Nominal vs. Actuals after the run. Is there an easy way to run these 30pcs without separating the 30pcs into 30 different programs and report them separately. By doing it like this we have noticed the more pieces we ran the slower and slower the machine gets. By the time we get to 30th piece the probe may hover above the 1st data point for 3min before it starts running.

Machine: DEA Delta sp
PC-DMIS CAD++2013 MR1 (Release)

  • Depends on what 'mess anything up' means to you. Pcdmis keeps track of all commands that are executed. In the order they are executed. Performing an execute clears that list. If you stop execute, then start execute at a different location (execute from cursor), the prior commands executed are not cleared from that list. When you report, all items in the list are reported.

    If you want to report everything that was executed, the reset will 'mess things'. If you only want items that were executed from the cursor, reset first, then execute from cursor.


    I'll just leave it alone....hehehe
