We are in the process of changing all of our CMM programs to run in absolute speeds (MOVESPEED and TOUCHSPEED) to help reduce the measurement variation from CMM to CMM (4 different CMMs using 3 different controllers). I had Hexagon right me an application to do this in all of our programs but need to change the settings in each probe file (previous programmer literally created a different probe file for each program) and I really do not want to go into each probe file and make the change from % to absolute. Is there a an easier way to do this as there are 300 plus probe files?
Correct. All of the old programs were written with machine speed set to percent. Repeatability of measurements between CMMs is as issue as some of our tolerances are +/-.0002". Two CMMs max out at 500mms and the other two max out at 300mms and while not a huge difference repeatability study shows up to .0003" variation when running them in percent. Absolute measurement study cut this in half to .00015"
