So we have this fixture plate on our cmm with some pins on it.
and all parts we measure are put in a fixture and slided against the pins, so no manual alignment requierment.
problem is that every year when hex comes to calibrate our CMM, he has to take off the fixtureplate
and when he puts it on again, the plate is in a slight different position.
This kinda screws up for alot of our parts because we have to run the manual alignment again.
Has anyone any idea for either
1. A good setup for the plate so its precicily in the same position everytime we remove it and put i back. (Currenctly we put it with 3 bolts in the graphite plate)
or
2. Work with a zero point system so that we align on our fixture plate and all other manual alignments are based on that. so if we remove /put back our fixture plate all we have to do is do a 3/2/1 alignment on fixtureplate. (instead of running manual alignment on every part)
The plate should have it's own external alignment program..if plate ever moves just re-run that program and all of your other measurement routines will work just fine
