how do I do a simple scan?

I am an experienced programmer but never used a scanning head, I currently got employed by a company with a nice scanning head and want to scan this big gear insert for profile but I am having a hard time figuring this out. I kind of thought it would be as simple as selecting the cad area to be scanned and clicking create but its proving to be not that easy... unless I am missing something, which I am sure I am...

Any scanning wizards out there?

  • What kind of scan are you looking to do?

    Linear open? Linear closed? Patch? Perimeter? etc...

    There is a little more to it than just simply scanning. What size probe? what type of hw (sp600/sp25)? machine settings? CAD vs no CAD?


    Other questions would be: did you do a full scan calibration for the probe you are using?

    Are your probing parameters set correctly?

    Offset force for an SP25 would be 0.1 with a point density of 10 or more

    Direction 1 tech is to set at Nullfilter, In Exec Controls RELEARN, probe comp is on,CAD comp on(if using CAD). In Nominals Method MASTER. Hit Controls VECTOR
