Machine ignoring wrist angle change command

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?

  • 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.
