Inspecting a 3D part with Vision Probe

acgarcia
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.

  • Anthony, I have a question.
    IF.... that part were rotated 90° to place the 'flange' to the glass/acrylic plate, up on 3 of exact same gage blocks, can the dims be measured in Z?
    I say only because for me? I feel the machine is just not as keen in Z (using the optics)
    My experience on a 443 Dual Z is that probe and optics do not correlate really well in Z, and why I mention using gage blocks to set Z 'zero' is that the Hexagon correlation device is a very shiny ring which is used during cal/correlation of the 2.
    Does that make any sense? Rolling eyes
    ** also by meaning that close correlation should be a .0001 or .two. Or am I dreaming? This machine (2015) was very expensive in relation to other vendors' offerings.
    Just would love to hear your opinion(s) Sunglasses
