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.

  • 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.


    What I mean by refining is more that when you do the initial alignment, it's common that you aren't trying to get the part exactly, perfectly aligned. You are trying to get it close enough for the DCC to take over. So, maybe you are using a quick 3-2-1 that isn't really representative of the part datum structure. The DCC alignment, is supposed to be a refinement of the manual/initial alignment. This is where you go and actually define your datums, measure them and align to them.

    With the Romer Arm, I might have a fixture, and I do a quick alignment to the tooling balls. The "DCC" or refinement is done actually using the Datum nets on the fixture.
