cmm_ve calibration

does anyone know? when you calibrate the star probe for the cmm-ve angles do you have to everytime go to cmm-ve and add angles? or just the first time?
  • You have to do it each time, and moreover, you have to do it each time after had answer "yes, the sphere move"...
    Personnaly, I calibrate all angles between A0B90 and A90B90, and I use a rotary table to use other angles !
    I have also a dull sphere that I use to check the calibration, with a auto focus point on the radius, with tip vector, and a circle on equator. I would like to enter automatically deviation values in the probe calibration, but I don't know how to do it... I have usually some µm (between 5 and 30 !) between contact calibration and vision check...
  • are you using a 32 bit or a 64 bit? i have a older machine with a 32 bit and it works fine but the new install came with a 64 bit and it takes 20 to 30 seconds to measure a line.
    all documentation say not to use a 64 bit and i keep telling Hexagon and they say it should work, hexagon has been trying to get it to work now for 3 months now and i am very frustrated.
  • I work in 32bit, but our local tech (Hexagon) works on 64bit. I think that there's only one video card that works with cmmv and 64bit, (IDS Falcon, bt I'm not sure)
