CMM vision error in manual mode

I keep getting the error: "Hit target is out of detection range for feature ___"

This is when I am in manual mode and trying to take a hit using an auto feature. I don't get this error when I first create the auto feature (say an edge point). What I am trying to do is manually set up a coordinate system for the rest of the program to go off of.

The issue comes when I go to measure the second part after creating the program based off of the first part. I am only able to position the new part to within 100s of micrometers and I then get this error message. If I take a bunch of time and get the second part pretty close to lined up (less than 10 micrometers) to where the first part was then I don't get this error message. The only work around that I have found so far is to recreate all of my manual hits each time I measure a new part. This seems extremely inefficient and I feel that there must be a better way to do this or a way around this error message.

Thank you for any suggestions!

  • I think it's in auto feature, a little blue head. You can use auto features as a manual mode with this, I do it usually for optical measurements.


    Are you talking about the button labeled "Manual Pre-Position Toggle"? On my vision auto features this is greyed out if I'm in manual mode (joystick) but is highlighted in DCC mode (arrow). Should I be making my initial alignment using DCC mode with the "Manual Pre-Position Toggle" on? Is this the standard procedure?

    Thank you for the feedback!
