Scan results different from keyed-in points

I have a part with a very tight profile tolerance (form+location) of .0005. I wrote a program with a model and aligned to all 3 datums.

I keyed in gage points and read the vectors from the model. Part is out of tolerance (which I expected) by about .001, the profile being off center.

Next I added a linear TTP scan along the same section where I probed the gage points. The scan shows deviations up to .018!Confused Same program, same part, same alignment.

What could I be doing wrong with my scan to get a result that differs so much from my keyed-in points?

  • I have only just taken a look at this post and I have a number of concerns.

    The first is the datum setup on the drawing it is very confusing and in ISO land ilegal, datum ' B ' is about the only one that could be taken as correct, 'A' and 'C' are a joke. You need to have the engineer/customer state what feature are to be used for the datum setup before you can obtain any meaningful results.

    You have stated that the part has a curved edge with a constant 0.470 radius along it. From looking at the posted drawing that is not what I see.

    The part starts as a cylinder of 0.333 for a length of 0.652" ( with 2 angled flats 11.000 deg ) then transitions into constantly changing radius curve ( or is it a set of tapper cones hard to tell from drawing )
    the only place where the radius is 0.470 is at the parallel section A - A.

    You have a CAD model was this generated in-house or supplied by the customer as it might help in working out what is required.
