CMM stuttering during linear open scans

Hello,

Wondering if someone can help me. I amusing a star probe to scan a cylinder with a linear open. The probe seems to intermittently "stutter" during the scan and reports an error for workpiece lost contact. Wondering if anyone has had this issue and has any idea what might cause it.

The other thing is it seems to happen more in the morning after being unused all night but by the afternoon the problem largely clears up. Wondering if it is possibly something mechanical.

Thanks

  • Dear Esteemed Senior Members and lecherous others,

    Sounds like you have an outdated motherboard. Some controllers can't handle all of the information Pcdmis hands back to it, and the unit just seems to scan the air as if it was the part. Check your firmware Rev. and see if is sufficient for the most tarted-up version of the Demon Hexapimp is worshipping.
    The problem, I think can be reduced by rolling back your install?
    Or stop "scanning"?
    I mean, we built the space shuttle just fine without "scanning". So what's the big deal with '"scanning" all the time?
    I remember enjoying myself quite much, with point to point circles and smoking cigarettes in the quality lab and such.

    Bite the face off someone you love today.
