Looping alignments

Im currently writing a program to inspect 4 parts on a fixture. Im looking for some help with creating a loop that has multiple alignments to reference to, but only loops 1 measurement routine (hole locations, planes, etc) and updates those theoretical locations based on which part is being measured. I have a input comment to the operator to say how many parts are being inspected, and made an assignment to that value. That value is then driving how many times the loop will cycle through. I just cant figure out how to make different alignments active, and update the features theoretical values.

  • Comments on your code:

    1) Do you have a manual alignment?
    2) In a loop, if you want the part to switch to the next part in a different location, you need to put your offsets in the X Y Z areas of the loop code
    3) With the offsets you have, it's doable but probably not the best method

    I think this method better for looping, see Josh's post: https://www.pcdmisforum.com/forum/pc...pping-stations

    4) Don't put spaces, special characters, or hyphens in your naming convention. Can create issues.
  • I have a fixture that has a center alignment hole, where the operator jogs the probe to it and creates a read point. Read point is made into a manual alignment. after that, DCC mode is activated and the features for the first parts alignment is measured.

    Seems like theres a lot of good info in that post - ill be sure to read up on it and give it a shot. Thank you for the feedback!
