A couple of General CMM Queries.

nooners4
Hi,

I have a couple of questions regarding the running of our CMM's. It would be great to get some feedback on them.

1. We have now moved to 24/7 shift.Will having the CMM's running 24/7 affect their capability?

2. We run our programmes off a shared drive. For example, we have 6 CMM's running from the same programme at any one time off a shared drive. Could this cause issues?

3. We are running PC DMIS 2014. At the moment we are seeing issues with profile scans, we run a part and it could have 21 dimensions OOT, run it again it might pass. Run on another CMM it also might Pass

4. Could any of the above be causing inconsistent results?

Thnaks for the help,

Cian

    (That's an alarm bell ringing there)

    We have five CMMs at our shop. Each one has a number(1-5). At the end of our program name is a number corresponding the CMM number. That way we can keep all the programs for a given part in the same directory, but no which CMM they are acceptable to run on.

    This serves several purposes.
    1. Anybody can look to see what CMM is OK to run a given part for a given operation(the part number, part rev, op number and op rev are in the name).
    2. It keeps the same program from being run at the same time on two different CMMs.
    3. If you regularly are have a problem with a program not running consistently on a certain CMM you can remove the program for that specific CMM, but still keep it for the others.

    I don't know if this helps much, but it's food for thought.

    +1... We have three CMMs. All the programs and reports are saved on the SERVER. Like Schrocknroll said, our's too are numbered 1, 2 & 3. Each CMM has it's own storage place on the server. Programs are moved back and forth between CMMS, but they are then stored and run from within that particular CMMs folder. Never, do any of the CMMS run the same program from the same location.
