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.
Form errors also affect position......
Using the pitch function in auto circles/ auto cylinders generally works well. Threads have to be well formed.
Difficult if not impossible to get a highly accurate minor thread diameter using a CMM. Major and Pitch Diameters are impossible.
I have used threaded inserts to improve position results but they are a royal pain to remove and replace. They get lost easily and you will forget to put one in on the hour-long program for the hot part that you're running.
