I started a new program the other day and started to run it today and the CMM is completely ignoring some of the wrist angle change commands. I figured I screwed up somewhere, so I decided to re-write the entire program. Same thing happening with the new program. The machine acts like it skips over the wrist angle change command and keeps the same angle from the previous code. I don't get it. I shut the entire CMM down and decided to go to lunch. Anyone know what is going on here?
When this was happening to me my PH9 was failing and kept trying to reseat itself when changing tips (Gave me PHC9 Error) or just straight up ignored them! Just my 2 cents
Here's something else really creepy. I closed the program, shut down the machine, and left for 30 minutes. When I got back in and turn the machine back on and homed out the machine, then opened up my program again, one of the wrist angles that was originally A90B90 now showed up in red as A90B-102.5. What's up with that??? I'm about ready to call a priest in to take a look at this...
I've noticed that if an angle input to the Edit window doesn't exist in your probefile's angle list, then the edit window will default to a 'close' angle or just drop to A0B0 (typically the 1st probe in the list). It can be quite trying sometimes. My work around is to have ALL angles listed, but then only calibrate the angles needed.
I figured it out. I don't know how the heck it got changed, but in the Setup Options (F5), in the General tab, the box "Automatically Adjust Probe Head Wrist" was checked. After I unchecked it, everything worked fine. I was attempting to use Auto Wrist Angle on my previous program and maybe since I was using it, that box got turned on somehow?
