Cloud Point Operator "CLEAN". Is this a Global feature and who's value carries over to the next program automatically.

Have an Absolute Arm 85 w/PC-DMIS 2020R1 and Laser Scanner RS6 that inspect to from time to time.

While working with scan parts I typically crop off all the edges of the parts  scan data that is obviously caused by reflected Laser.

Had some parts that I tried the 'Clean' Operator to speed things up due to the large quantity of parts and input into surface profile of.030 tolerance.

surface profile were around .021-.022 range.

Now it seams that when I write new programs and don't create a 'CLEAN' Operator in the prg......the Profiles are still resulting in .022 even though the color scheme from the 'POINT COLORMAP' OBVIOUSLY IS SHOWING DIFFERENT COLORS THRU OUT THE PARTS SURFACE.

Do I need to clear it or turn it off or what ever???

The Manual on this Operator really doesn't go into how it's applied in the field so to speak.

Thanks

  • Correct. The clean COP only affects the COP it has a Reference to in the program.

    COPCLEAN1 has a reference to COP1, which is in the current program.

    COP1       =COP/DATA,TOTAL SIZE=3,REDUCED SIZE=3,
                FINDNOMS=NO,REF=SCN4,,
    COPCLEAN1  =COP/OPER,CLEAN,MAX DISTANCE=0.04,APPLY MAX ANGLE=NO,
                SIZE=0,REF=COP1,,

    Make sure you properly place Cloudpoint Empty and Purges where needed. I was told to put purges at the end of the program, but I personally did it at the beginning instead in case I want to look back at my data after a program has ran. I haven't used my HP-L-10.10 in months though, and am a bit rusty on Cloudpoint operators.
