Romer Sigma checking

Im am trying to work out a routine for checking our arm.

How do you guys do ?

Do you use the check bar that was included with the arm or have you made an own checking routine ?

I have made an own "checkbar" to test the arms repeatability.

The bar is 1,5 mm thick and 1200x150 with 6x Ø25 holes

Made a program and measured in the the alignment plane-line-line (intersection point line-line) and then measured in the holes as 8 hit circles.

Now when I re-measure the circles over and over again and evaluates the X-Y possision i get aprox a diff off ±0,06 mm

Is this a normal result off a arm ?

When I read the spec off the Romer sigma 2025 it says ±0,034 lenght (but i figure this is if i measure between 2 points)

How do you do with the probes ?

Do you run the Romotic GDS probe calibration once a while or just run the .gds files that comes from hexagon after the annual calibration ?

  • Hi Superintern and thanks for the response, even though it took me some time to reply.

    When it comes to the aligment I already had that in mind so my program is build in the way that i measure the aligment, then all the circles and then the program loops up and starts over right after the aligment. This way i keep the fixation off the part and the aligment the same.
    When it comes to the circles I measure them with the probe resting against the table so that the points I take should hit on the same level.
    But when it comes to the roundness you have a point =) because the arm is manuall I cant secure that the hits are taken on the same places so...

    If i understand you right then you recommend that I stop measurering circles and start taking point if I want to "only" check the arm.....
    But as my first question was, how do you guys check your arms ?
