Hey everyone, i'm new to the vision side of PC-DMIS and was wondering if someone has created a test program for the ever popular test block? We have a VISIO 300 dcc machine in our facility for a couple of days and I would like to see it operate. If nobody has one would it be possible for someone to whip up something simple for me, I know it's a lot to ask but if we can make it work we might be able to talk the boss into purchasing it. Thanks in advance.
I may be able to help with a sample part program - is your "ever popular test block" of the metal (BSBlock.IGS) variety, or the newer plastic HexBlock variety?
As you know pc-dmis already, you should not have too much trouble. You can start it up, load in your cad file, and program from cad as if you're on a cmm. As you'll have a Vision probe, it will create vision probe features instead.
You select features from the auto feature toolbar, as normal.
If you've never used the Probe Toolbox, you'll need that open so you can change your machines illumination and zoom settings.
Assuming there's no optional touch probe fitted on the machine, then there's nothing you can damage from playing around a bit. Enjoy!
