Testing a scanning Module for damage

Hi,

We are using scanning SM25-1 modules on our Global Adavantage 575 CMM's.

Are there any surefire methods for testing the modules to check to see if they are damaged.

Are there any tell tale signs that I can look out for that will help me identify a damaged scanning module?

Thanks!

  • So by saying you are a tech does this mean you don't have the ability to manipulate the programs being run? Are scans only OOT at certain parts of the scan? Perhaps at a curved surface or maybe a flat? If so and if you have the ability have you tried to take a single point at the affected area? Did it match the result of the scan? How tight of tolerances are we talking about and are you doing a form only or form and location? You also said these are known good parts - did these same parts originally check good via a scan or you hard checked them therefore know they are good?

    Exactly. I can try and ensure the hardware is running as well as it can but do not have the permissions to manipulate

    See the attachments for a scan on a CMM. This is the same part that failed but then passed.

    Thanks!
