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.

  • easily do-able.

    I'm getting ready to leave for the day but tomorrow morning i will mock something up in CAD so you can have a visual of how to set it up.

    you have to wrap your mind around the fundamental difference between inspecting in 2D and 3D, if you haven't already.

    Your print shows a cut-section at AA and that's EXACTLY what your camera will see (minus the internal dimensions, which is where the probe comes in.)

    I'm happy to help with this, but tomorrow. lol.
