Programing with Romer Arm

WolfMan
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.

  • The first alignment is to tell PC-DMIS where the part is in relation to the machine, in this case the arm.
    The second alignment is to refine the location of the part, typically using the datum structure.

    There is no homing of the Romer Arm.
    The Romer probes calibration is not done through PC-DMIS, but through the RDS software. You shouldn't need to change that. It is supposedly attach probe and go.

    The downside to the arm lies in the fact that all measurements are done manually. For measuring threaded holes, I would suggest using the biggest probe you can fit in the hole, or acquiring Jo-Plugs for the holes, or using single point circles.

    You should address most of these types of questions in the PC-DMIS Portable forum.

    Great info thank you. I am not sure about the refining the Alignment, by refining you mean using more points right? There is nothing else to refine with manual probing.
