New in PC-DMIS and Metrology

Leica AT401
Hey Guys,

I'm Sebastian Prins 19 years old student from Holland, and I just started working/schooling at a company called VMI, which is specialized in building tire building machines.
Nowadays they align the machine's with Theodolite's and a plumb rule, not really special.

But, a few months ago they've bought a Leica At401 Laser tracker with PC-dmis pro.
Some guys followed a 3 day course in Eindhoven, but they are really busy so they had no time to find out how the machine really works.

Than I came in and got the command to find out how PC-Dmis works and how we can use the Leica AT401 Laser Trakcer for aligning the machines.
I told them that it is a hard programm to understand, especially when you haven't followed any training/schooling for it.

My question is:

Is it really necessary to follow a course and do you guys have some tips for aligning with the Laser tracker/PC-dmis combo?


Sorry, that my English isn't the best.
But I'm DUTCH

Thanks!
  • You should (you must ?) learn about :
    1 - What's a tracker, what you can do with, what you can't .
    2 - PC-DMIS for tracker.
    If you never worked in metrology, you will have a lot of work to understand that the result of a measurement contains a part of uncertainty, and a good measurement is ok when the uncertainty is known and minimized...

    ....YES.


    you can start reading the Help Menu for PCDMIS Portable, but nothing accelerates the learning process like a class. you're working with simplified scenarios to get familiar with the concepts and software, you have an experienced user to answer question...it's just easier all around.

    why is the guy that was TRAINED not using the product??!!
  • The guys who followed the course, have no time to work with the laser tracker.
    That's why I'm here to find out Wink
  • Just ask to your boss how many $ cost the tracker, the course, and how many cost the time that you pass to learn on your own...
  • I would suggest having your company bring in hexagon to do onsite training so that you can get good one on one training focusing on your product and needs. The classes are nice but you have a pretty specific need that I feel the 401 would do a great job at. For the little extra cost you will be alot better off.
  • I know, how much the tracker costed us Wink
    He is thinking about, getting me a trainer onsite, so I hope that I can learn something of him.

    Thanks a lot guys!
