We just replaced an older Global Image 555 with a new Global S Blue 555. Due to the license I have available I could only move up to PC-Dmis 2015.0 from V43 MR1. I am having issues with circle and line measurements gauging inaccurately. The circular measurements are gauging 15 to 20 microns differently than other CMMs in our plant. The one line measurement is gauging about 800 microns different. I haven't been able to find any mechanical issues with the CMM. I have replaced all of the probing components to no avail. Could this possibly be an issue caused by moving to the newer version of PC-Dmis?
It ended up being a fixture issue. Changing the fixture was one of the first things I tried to do to fix the issue. Pulled a fixture from a machine that the part was gauging accurately on and put it on the new machine and everything matched.
