Hi, I would like to automate the calibration process. At the moment operators should calibrate the machines twice per week. Is there any chance that I can let this do automatically in PCDMIS like at 5 am?
You can always create a auto cal program for the operators to use when the turn the CMM on. They could also run the auto cal program during the day if needed. You can also set the qual sphere to YES_DCC and eliminate operators having to manually take the first hit as long as the cal sphere is in the same position and location.
