I am a student who has been tasked with learning how to operate the CMM in the lab I work in. It has not been used in years, and the last person to operate it graduated 4+ years ago. I have created a program but when I go to automate it I get a machine error TR_PRB01, no probing within Probelimit. This occurs whenever the probe attempts to move down from its home position.
It is running pc-dmis 2013 and is a brown & sharpe ONE 7.7.5 with a renishaw PH10T probe
Training training training. Get sent out for training!
You are getting that error because the area the CMM needs to measure is outside it's limits. That part is floating in CMM "space". You will either need to create a readpoint alignment or manual alignment to "tell" the machine where the part is on the table. Once it knows the location, then it can automatically measure the part. Word of warning: Make sure your alignment is setup correctly. If not, you can cause some bad things to happen.
By the way, in what atmosphere is the CMM in? You say a lab. Is this a work environment or school environment?
