Looping Alignments

Old Zeiss guy here... I know, I know... anyway...

We used to "loop" our alignments to a measured "break condition" before running our programs (this was to ensure the mathematical skew of the part after on alignment loop had compensated the proper amount and direction for the misalignment of the part on the fixture.)

Is there any way to do that in PC_DMIS?

  • Looping Alignments in PC-DMIS isn't as simple as Looping your BaseSystem in Calypso. Your best shot at looping an alignment IMHO is to do an iterative alignment. You'll need a Label above the feature were you want the loop to start and you will need to reference that label in the "Start" field of the alignment when you set it up. the Fixture Tolerance field within the iterative alignment window will be were you define what the fit criteria is. if you have any questions about how todo something in PC-DMIS that you used todo in Calypso please reach out I use both PC-DMIS and Calypso regularly at my work.
