Program execution stopped, CMM still moving

Today I was running a program on our CMM (Global S Green 9.12.8). Stopped the program as it was going to the first clearplane, and then noticed the CMM bridge was still moving. I turned my controller speed down to 0. Tried to modify in the edit window, and it let me, even while it was running. Then I executed my program while it was "running" and immediately hit cancel it again as I did previously to see if it will overwrite the actions it was reading. I then closed PCDMIS. I turned speed up again to see if it was still moving. It was. So I did a full reboot of the CMM, and it's fine now. Has anyone ever ran into this before? A rogue program running even without the PCDMIS software?

  • this also happens if we are in the middle of an analog scan and cancel before its completed. the cmm will still keep moving.


    This is the problem that I'm familiar with. It seems to happen quite often to me. Hitting E-stop tends to clear it.
    I can't say I have ever had it happen while moving to a clearplane the way William describes. Weird.
