Good evening,
What is the best way to measure threads on the CMM? I would just use a thread gage and put it in the report but I was asked to write them in the program. Thank you in advance.
The CMM is not the correct tool to measure the major, minor, or pitch diameters. For the location, I would recommend using a thread locator. That's what we use when we have tight position callouts on threads and they will repeat much better than probing the thread itself.
Until you get a bad thread locator. They have tol. when they are manufactured as well. I had a large part with a dozen or so locators and a few of them were junk. Of course it took awhile to figure out what the exact problem was..
