Hi,
As a CMM programmer, how can I find out the actual measurement time on the CMM machine of the programs I make offline? (How) can we do that ?
Thanks in advance.
I agree, it should be possible to have a time estimate. It would be useful if I could just have a number that is based on ideal speeds and accelerations. Then as I run programs on different machines I could eventually guesstimate the real runtime. I'd know to add about 30% to the run time of our old machine, add 10% to the run time of this slick newer machine, subtract 10% if I enable fly mode - that sort of thing.
As long as I have worked with CMMs I have had anxious supervisors and managers ask me how long it will take to measure a new part with a tight deadline. It's kind of important since the CMM is often one of the last steps in the production process.
