Scanned Feature Will Not "Complete"

What does it to? Does it keep going around the cylinder indefinitely? Does it go partially around and then just sit there? Does it just go so slow you can't wait for it?

What are your Settings in the scan?

What are your Settings in the scan?

Best settings for linear open continuous scans? I keep getting that my min exceeds the max dialog box. Usually used TP20 touch probes in the past. scan spd? density? any suggestions would be appreciated....

1/4 or smaller, I like to use 2 to 5 for the speed. Trying to whip around a small hole, sometimes to fast errors out, you get up to a 1 inch hole, I'll bump it up 15 to 30. Just sometimes it's a trial and error thing. bigger the hole the more it has to travel and a smoother rotation, because it's not confined into a tight area. Think of it like cuttting a donut with your car, you punch it, and cut the wheels tight, you may not start cutting that donut, where you thought you started, Now think of Nascar, Racing at some top speeds around a huge round track, Ok it's an oval track, but you get what I mean, You can go faster because of the stability you have to work with.

Hey JT! did they get you some new analog scan toys?? Here is a (kinda old) doc of settings that may or not help.......

No, New place has scanning heads on PH10's. Thanks for the info!

I've seen that stalling at the end issue on normal scans, when I had all zero's in place for the the "auto move" within the exec controls area.
It needs to have a value in there as a means of prehit-retract distance of sorts.

I've never experienced it with an adaptive scan strategy, and i don't think my input above will help in this case.

The only other thing I could suggest is switching off any void detection, avoidance moves, and ensuring your theo values (coords and vectors) are correct... to see if any of it helps.

After computer restart, there doesnt seem to be an issue. Seems like a PC Hardware issue for me! Also I normally am using the override and 10mm/sec for accel and speed.

Auto feature adaptive cylinder scan will not "complete"

It will complete when I "test" or when I execute the individual feature, but while running the entire program it will not complete and move onto the next step. IE, if I put a comment or incremental move immediately after the scanned auto feature, it will never get there.

Any suggestions? I'm lost, and new to analog scanning.

Thanks

Was this resolved some how? I'm struggling with the same...once I do a manual alignment then a rough alignment in dcc and when going todo a circular adaptive scan for a plane it moves in to position, shows measuring but never actually does it, it once stayed there 1 hour and did not error nor complete it. Both in offline and online modes.

I would second what Omar said- has this been resolved? I tried cycling the machine, no dice.

I'm fairly new to scanning on PCDMIS- coming into a new facility, I've found that a lot of our programs have all the correct theo's etc on autofeatures, but are not actually mapped to the cad(Cad is not selected/highlighted when you F9 the autofeature).

Any changes I make to a program causes these autofeatures using scans to exhibit this issue- will perform the scan, then pause as if there's a breakpoint. will run just the step, will test, will not continue program execution.

does selecting the cad feature on an autofeature using a scan affect anything? if so, is there a way to "re-select" this without losing all your presets? I would like to fix this without having to go through full programs and reset all feature/dimension parameters associated with those features if possible

I've been lurking the PCDMIS forum for years now, this issue was the kick I needed to finally make an account.

TIA for any info on autofeature scans.
