  • ERROR CE ,S% ,TR_CE ,0x1400304d Position out of the machine stoke limit

    Hello, I'm programming on a new CMM and having issues with my manual alignments. I have been programming in offline mode and whenever I try to run my programs on the machine after I pick up my manual alignment I get this error message: ERROR CE ,S% ,TR_CE…

  • how do I align this to match GD&T so it can be correctly dimensioned?

    I've inserted a snippet of a part I'm currently working with its not the entire print. can someone explain in the simplest of terms how I need to align this part so when I measure my dimensions it does so correctly? also can someone explain why you chose…

  • How to do cad to part alignment

    I am trying to figure out just the start to finish method to align the cad model to the actual part itself in order for the cmm to know the true parts location. Can someone help break that down for me? Brand new to CMM and where I work just now started…

  • equate alignment step by step

    Good Afternoon 1st time I'm trying to use equate alignment for a long part - I used to measure part in 2 separated stages so I have 2 separated independent programs. I combined them in one program remembering to change IDs in stage 2 to avoid duplicates…

  • Manual alignment not "snapping" to cad geometry

    Hello all, I am hitting a major block in my programing for a cylindrical part. After importing the CAD model and establishing an alignment, my trihedron is right where I want it. using a top plane to level the part and establish translation in…

  • Adding manual alignment to completed programs

    Hello all, The programmer before me made all of his programs by starting in DCC mode. foregoing the manual alignment and instead just adding notes on where to set the part on the grid plate in the exact same location every time. Our small old…

  • Profile surface datum definition

    I am trying to set the datum, but I wonder if there is a way to set the datum a when datum A is a curved surface as shown in the figure. version : pc-dmis cad++ 2018 r1 ​

  • Multiple set-up funtion?

    The length of the part is outside the measurement range of the equipment. So, during the software measurement, the parts are moved, the reference axis is moved, and the remaining parts are taken. I want to find the difference between A1 and A2 when…

  • PC-DMIS giving bad results

    Need help!! Not sure why PC-DMIS keeps giving me bad results. I have created different alignments, different hits, different workplanes and views but PC-DMIS still gives me wrong numbers. Any suggestions on what is going on? On the blueprint I have…

  • A Couple Newbie CMM Questions

    Good evening everyone! I’m extremely new to CMMs, GD&T, and pretty much anything to do with this whole world. (>4 months) My employer found themselves in a tight spot when our old CMM Operator/Programmer left for another company. The previous employee…

  • Clear Plane Leaving Z Axis Limits

    The clear planes in my program do not want to co-operate today. I'm using a read point for the manual alignment, as far as I can see I did not forget to translate my Z. DCC_ORG Is a circle that takes 3 sample hits on the Z=0 surface I want. The clearplane…

  • Mirror Program CAD error

    I have a program and once I mirror it the program mirrors properly but the CAD doesn't follow into the new program. It seems to only work sometimes. Am I doing something wrong to cause this? Thanks in advance!

  • Out of Stroke Limit

    Hello, I'm pretty new to PC-DMIS and CMM programming in general. I've been working with it for a few months now. My problem is this. I keep getting an out of stroke error when switching to DCC alignment and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The machine…

  • CAD Synchronization Issues

    I'm a new CMM user, having recently taken the PC-DMIS 101 training, and I'm having difficulty synchronizing my imported CAD with the machine. I've searched through the forum for similar issues, but nothing has helped yet. I may simply be skipping a step…

  • Alignment to cad trouble

    Hello, After starting with a new program and importing a step file, i perform level, rotate, and then origin to a feature on the cad model. However, the feature selected moves to the trihedron instead of the trihedron moving to the feature selected…

  • Fixture moved

    Hello, I will just get right to the point. I had to make my fixture higher up off the stone. I have already made the program. But, now that I have moved the fixture, when the program gets to DCC mode, it keeps going back to where the fixture was. How…
