Loopity Loops (and how to offset em')

Greetings fellow metrologists

I would like some help on my loop problem.
I have to create a loop to measure many parts simultaneously. I have done this before, but it was cylindrical parts, so it was quite easy to create the offsets in the loops.
But now i have this not-so-round part and its coordinatesystem doesnt match cmm axis
so im not quite sure how to go about this problem.
(see picture for part coordinates and how i will place them on the cmm). they will be placed in mulitple rows.

ty guys, u always help me

  • i dont get this to work.. Disappointed
    when i import my model i have the orgin where i want it to be.
    then i make a alignment off the base plate and the part coordinate system switches place from cad model to the measured plane/circle like the picture.
    then i manually probe my part (in dcc) and align to those elements.
    but the cad doesnt snap back onto the cad part
    do i need to do some offsets or CAD=PART?

  • I like to import cad, then virtually, within the "Program mode (CTL+F4)" in the cad window (NOT on the cmm with the joxbox)...
    1: Probe a hit where i want the readpoint (CTL+G) force actuals to match theoretical values after creating.
    switch to DCC
    then
    2: probe your initial align/manual points of the part, still using that virtual program mode.
    3: align to the features you made,
    4: then execute the routine immediately after the readpoint takes place with the cmm/jogbox and after cmm runs through your initially made alignment hits
    CAD will ALWAYS perfectly = part
