Every time I search these forums for any information regarding this new software I am met with no information as it seems no one is using this software. Is it irrelevant for experienced CMM Programmers/Users or is it just a problematic software (like i am seeing).
My problem;
We water-jetted a fixture that allows for 12x parts to run (that was the intent) in succession in the Y+, and whenever I use "Inspect4.1" to palletize the program in the Y+ it doesn't take the DCC alignment hits in the right offset that I have typed in (3.375" in Y+). I have created new alignments, recalled OG alignments, tried using different XYZ orientations within inspects settings, Its a simple 4pnt Plane leveled to the X-, with X origin, 2 hits on a flat facing the Y-, one toward Z- then the 2nd toward Z+, with that being the Z+ about the X- rotation, and then a large bore with 4 hits which is the Y origin (for the 3.375" offset to be accurate).
What occurs after the first part is ran is the part will run
CLEAN all the way through, and then once done it is
SUPPOSED to offset the DCC hits 3.375" in Y+ to realign and continue. It for some reason travels about 10" in the Z+ to take the hits on the plane, and eventually doesn't find the part.
Should I change this to a read point alignment? Should I be recalling an external alignment?
Hopefully someone here has some knowledge about how they run their loops, or an alternative. The entire intent was to get these parts running lights out (overnight) and I am at my wits end
I found the flaw, it was oriented incorrectly in the DCC align and was offsetting the proper distance in the proper direction, however said direction was not the same as the CMM's, however was synonymous with the machine that cut the part. I changed the DCC align to be correct for the needed offset direction and am running it currently. Will update with any issues, thank you so much for your time!
