I was asked by a manager to take a good part and a bad part (based on customer feedback) and measure an ellipse on each to get some useful data that we can then take to our EDM or CNC to machine a go-no-gage for our extrusion press:
Couple questions:
- How can I measure an ellipse in PCDMIS? I would assume using the cad file and auto features?
- Can I pull useful data out of this measurement that I could use for a gage design? Would this be a major and minor diameter or could I pull a point cloud of radii from the center of an ellipse to just recreate the measured ellipse?
