We have Hexagon coming in tomorrow to demo PC-Dmis Vision Offline.
we are thinking of converting our 2 OGP Smart Scopes to Vision.
any thoughts on this would be appreciated (good or bad)
What I have learned with vision is that you have to un-think your CMM visualization. Mainly think in 2d versus 3d, as depth for surface features are still difficult to repeat.
The one thing I do is minimize the amount of focusing by establishing an edge point on 1 edge of a part - Focus this point - Set this as zero in Z. Then measure your features on the same side of the part as this point. You will not have to focus these features if you maintain the Z at 0.00. Create another point on the other sides and do the same thing, if you notice the features move out of focus, from the original Z position.
