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?
If you know for a fact that the CMM will ALWAYS move to the Cal sphere and measure every single tip angle without it banging up against anything then I would say pursue this as it would be super convenient for calibration to take if itself. Now running out of air while you're not around... I've only witnessed one machine drop on Z when the lights/air went out! (Super old but reliable Typhoon) Every other CMM would automatically locked itself up after air pressure dropped (no crash).
Not the case with the new Global Chromes. We have 5 of them and when the air goes down on a Saturday night sometimes the Z axis drops, and the probe hits the table. We can't get the operators to shut off the controller after Saturday shift. It is not always the same machine either. Hexagon - No problem there.
