Romer leapfrog

Lon Fels
Good day all,

I am writing this on behalf of our Romer operator, not having any experience with the Romer myself but well versed with PC-DMIS. My question is: When a leapfrog is performed is the data to make the transformation only temporary (available only as long as the part program is open)? PC-DMIS needed to be shut down during an inspection just after a leapfrog was performed, when PC-DMIS was back open some features after the point where the program was left off would not measure and the ones that did measure the actuals were more in line with an alignment with the position after the leapfrog.

I looked in the leapfrog dialog and there is no data. I would have expected something that would be used to calculate the offsets, etc.

If the above is the case wouldn't an Equate Alignment be better suited than a leapfrog?

  • I've never used the leapfrog outside the training course, but I remember being taught there were two diffferent ways to do a leapfrog.
    In the first method, you measure 3 features, then open leapfrog and select those 3 features and remeasure them at the new position.
    The second option was opening leapfrog before moving the arm, measuring the 3 features, then moving the arm and remeasuring the 3 features. In this option, those 3 features are not stored the same as the first method.
    I would think that if you do the leapfrog the first way mentioned it would be more likely that you can reboot PCDmis and still get back to where you were.
    As I said, I haven't done a leapfrog since the training course, but that would be my guess. Can you let me know how well the leapfrog worked for your Romer operator dimensionally?

    Thanks,
