Optic probe calibration

 HI,

I am new to this machine, tesa v-300 dcc pcdmis, i want to calibrate all probes, i did it manualy one by one, but to do it property instruction says need calibrate optical probe first to ring, then probe to ring...

But i can't start calibration for ring with optic probe, I dont know were to start what to look it says looking for x axis. On the ring its no marking places were to focus or what to look for...


At the start i crated my all 6 probes in tp20 rack, and optical probe was calibrated, then i moved all probes to new probe folder that i crated as well, i set up all probes to rack it looks like working.
and then i started getting msg when start new program that optic probe is not calibrated.. i done back up for this probe but nothing changed it still shows not calibrated but it was.. and i don't change any setting for this probe.

And i cant calibrate it i am looking for detailed instruction but cant find any... f1 not helping at all. Hope to get help here

  • When you moved all the probes to a new folder, did you redirect PC-DMIS to look at that folder?

    Can you screenshot the error you are seeing during calibration of the vision probe?
  • Yes I redirected pc-dmis and move all files. A BIT few more files then before, so now optic works calibration

    I started optic calibrate offset, to ring location changed YES. Goes well, then main probe calibrating to same ring NO location didnt moved, then same main probe to sphere YES location changed, 1 hit to sphere top and calibrating goes well for this probe.
    After this instruction told me that I should calibrate any other my probe to sphere without canging location in dcc NO location didnt change for sphere. So i selecting my probe 2, changing probe automatically from rack and program stop i am getting error move comand outside travel limit. See attachment.
    If selecting in calibration sphere moved YES 1 hit to top then working other probes calibration, but it should work in dcc..?

  • My next question are if anyone have a program autocalibrating so i can use it for my all 6 probes and my optic probe, including star probe and disc? Or any use full link how to crate auto calibrating by self?

    I am using PC-DMIS 2014.1
  • Hi all,

    So basically i calibrating any probe to sphere, 1 hit on top to find sphere then calibrating my second probe with NO, position didn't change and i am getting same error, attached photo above.

    move commanded outside travel limits. Move absolute to x=0 y=0 z=88.9


    Any helping how to fix this? I can't calibrate my probes and start work with optic cmm

    In Probe Utilities, click Setup...

    What do you have for your numbers in the second section? (FYI these numbers are based on my offline seat. My Optiv is being used right now, so I cannot get the numbers off that machine rn).

  • Hi bfire85,

    Thanks i have change 88.9-> 20. Looks ok know.

    But now I have problem with star probe calibration, i think my sphere crated as 0,0,1 vectors, this is optic cmm and sphere is on angle about 30 deg. To z+ and towards y-.


    How spheres are usually crated? I think they are mostly same because they are mounting on glas by magnets..


    Thanks.

    Mine is at a 45° angle. When the cal tool is built, you have to tell the CMM which angle it is as so the machine misses the stem the sphere is attached to. With a star probe, you have to potentially adjust a few parameters within the probe itself. The help file within PC-DMIS helps you understand how to build and calibrate a star probe.

  • Thanks again. It's time to write some programs
