I am completely lost.

My company recently purchased an OPTI 321 running 2018 software. We do not have a touch probe on our machine. It is being used in vision only.

I am not a QC inspector and I've only ever programmed a machine using M codes.

I was sent to the 3 day class and then had 8 more hours of instruction here on our machine. I'm still completely lost.

I have been working on this machine for weeks and have yet to make a program that runs.

I bought the training manual that came with the labs when I took the course but the icons in the manual do not match my machine.

Is there an online tutorital or video that I could watch to walk me through the basics? I need something geared at a user who has NEVER used anything like this before.

Thank you!

  • Using just a .dxf and not an actual part is h3LL. Or at least it is for me. At least OFFline. I know.... lots of variables there. I don't like CAD=PART at all, but when forced to do 2D profiles? I've no choice.
    Maybe am off my mind here, but the Hex Vision team FINALLY fixed it in 2018R2. But back to .dxf......
    Adventure seekers might do well to follow this path:
    C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hexagon\PC-DMIS\2018 R2\CAD\MycronaDemoPart.dxf
    Have fun with THIS insanity. Please kick the tires on this and report back. As Bfire asked me? Try a blob. Try lots of anything with this. OFFline. Then try on actual machine. (I know there is no actual part)
    But hopefully you'll enjoy the exercise and report back on how it all worked out. Sunglasses
