I have a part program, i have successfully written it to where i can flip the part, and equate the alignment, all works well, until the next part is ready to be measured. I cannot get the Dmis to go back to the startup alignment at the beginning of the program. I am forced to do a manual alignment for each part. Normally, i manually align the part once, run it through, then the next time i turn off the manual alignment features and run it over and over again letting the dcc alignment take over.
This program will not do that, everytime i start the program over again without the manual alignment features selected, it thinks that the probe head is still on the negative side of the Z axis, which is not true. I don't know why it is not looking at the startup alignment that should tell the program that the probe head is in the space relative to the machine and not the part.
any thoughts? i hope i have just missed something stupid here....
