New to Portable

Umpy31337
Hello everyone!

I am new to the forums. I have 5+ years programming experience with PC-DMIS CMM. The company I work for recently bought a used Faro Arm with Cam2 Q. The laptop with the Cam2 Q software befell an unfortunate fate and because of licensing terms we needed to purchase new software. I was able to talk my boss into getting PC-DMIS Portable with the new laptop after informing him of the drawbacks and dislikes i have found with the Cam2 software. We are currently waiting for the laptop to be delivered and my question is how close to the CMM version is the Portable version? Do any of you think I will encounter a major learning curve or problem? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, Thank You!

  • PC-DMIS is not different. Only difference between our CMM and portable PC-DMIS is that CMM has CAD++ and portable has only CAD. Learning curve will be probing technique. Arms like the hits to be normal to the surface being probed. This way the arm can calculate correct vectors. However, this is not always true. How close to normal can human being hold the probe, anyway??? Smiley

    Are you planing to program the arm or inspect on the fly?
