Programing with Romer Arm

I have a few questions about programming with Romer. I have never used it before and was wondering is programming any different from CMM or anything I need to know bedsides its accuracy and repeatability.

So my first q. is Do I need a DCC Alignm. ?

How do i go about locking an Axis, say I need to measure something At X0 Y0, how do I do it with Romer?

Any additional Information info. is appreciated.

  • There is no such thing as "DCC" with a Romer arm. The entire program is manual. By DCC, if you mean a refining alignment, then yes, you still want to do that.

    In "F10" (or F5, I forget) you can turn on probe auto-trigger and define a radius at which the auto-trigger can occur. Programming for a Romer Arm is basically the same as writing a program for a CMM and running it 100% manually, never switching to DCC. Almost all of the same functionality is available. Alignments work the same.
