Inspecting a 3D part with Vision Probe

We have a Optiv 321 TP that we haven’t used in about 2 years. I took the vision course at Hex when be bought the unit. It was used in a cell to check 1 part. I used the tactile probe %100 because I couldn't get the vision probe to work. The part was a shiny cylinder on its side and I just couldn't get any good measurements. I’m determined the get it checking something. I’ve only been successful with using bottom light and the tp20 for measurements. No probe rack or rot table. I can only check a less than half the part which isn’t real useful.

I attached a drawing the circled the dimensions that I want to check. Can this be down with just the vision probe? I currently have the part with the wide base laying flat on the glass so I can see the large ID in the center of the part. It has a tight tolerance so I need to check and I have not tried to check the part on its side.

Please let me know what ya'll think.

  • the large OD is about 3.2in and the overall height is about 1in. Its my actual drawing so I removed some of the decimal places.

    Its just that I see other users posting pictures of parts on the vision forum and I wonder what they are actually inspecting. Like your posts on the 3D printing fixtures thread. I see you have a probe rack and your fixtures are not clear so I'm wondering how you are usiing/programming the optiv. My boss thinks i'm just missing something and don't want to do it.
