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…
Good Day!
I have problem with defining the database "E" like on picture below (marked on blue).
(pic. 1) (section H (circle on pic. 1))
Below photo from PC-DMIS CAD
My question is if I should make database "E" as constructed plane? All points…
I don't know much at all about expressions, labels, etc. I've been working the past few hours trying to make a command that will end my program if a particular dimension is out of spec. All I want is a code that #1) checks that dimension, #2) has a comment…
Good afternoon,
I am working on a part that requires a theoretical distance from the bottom of a gage ball resting in a tapered cylinder to a datum plane. I have constructed the sphere with the proper diameter and in PC-Dmis, it looks to be in the…
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…
Good afternoon all,
I am trying to set up a quick program to measure a true position call out for a part we are running at the shop. it is a small bushing and the TP call out is the O.D. cylinder to the I.D. cylinder (datum A) and a perpendicular…
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…
I’m still very new to PC-DMIS and programming in general so I have no idea what the options are for my question:
Can you program offline using the Online Seat of PC-DMIS (Version 2022.1) if there is NO air supplied to the CMM? We only have the Online…
There's a weird sort of bug, at least up to version 2020R2, that propagates the setting "Print Background Colors". I know you can change this by hitting F5, but the situation is slightly more complicated. I will provide an example:
Lets say you have…
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…
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
Is it possible to update
Nominals & Tol . same for some selected features according to my drawing ?
I don't have any
CAD model , and I need to call dimensions for
100 position dimensions.
I'm using
Legacy Mode , for that reason I need…
Good Morning,
I have 20-30 parts where I have to report out the pitch diameter of the threads for each one. The thread pitch is 9.5583-9.5223, the threads are on the OD, they are clocked and machined in the same position, and its an ACME thread form…
Hello All,
My company has recently run a program on two CMMs.
The first time the program was run, each loadprobe line would prompt the operator to load that probe before moving forward.
When the program was run on a different CMM, the program…
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…
I'm using a series of Yes/No Questions to dictate what is measured and reported vs what is not. My 1st question is essentially "Are all features being measured": If yes, it skips the following questions. The issue is however that when it skips the following…
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…
I'm performing a Find_Noms Scan and while executing it, I got the good ol' error asking me to adjust my tolerance. I mistakenly told it to delete the hits that didnt meet the tolerance: How can I undo this? now whenever I run the feature it will delete…
Edit: reducing the hits to 3 INCREASED the accuracy of my measurements. Special thanks to UKCMM!
So I was measuring a cylinder and I got some pretty crazy results (See the diameter). Trying to figure out why this happened beyond some good ol…
I've got a part here that requires hundreds of inspections, so we created a fixture to run 15 of the parts in one execution so i'm not required to come back to the CMM every few minutes. I've hit a wall though where I need my reports to print per part…
Hi All
I use PC-DMIS CAD++ 2019 R1 on B&S 5.7.5, its absolute speed is 700 (this is what I see when I open F5 ). Most of our programs run with speed 200-300mm/s. I changed it to 500 in program edit window but didn't see any difference.
I searched…
Hello, Does anyone still use MMax+ ?
I work for a company that still uses older software and CMMs. Trying to find information on this and so far unsuccessful. If anyone has !Any! information that they feel would be useful that would be appreciated!
I am unaware of any option in the settings to turn off move points. I have tried Cntrl+M typing in move/ and hitting the move point button on the jog box. I have also been trying to make a clearance plane and I cannot add move/clearplane either. Does…
I have a blueprint that has a callout to measure the depth from a specified point on my part (bottom of a specific depth) to a plane(top of the part ) . I am unsure the correct way to measure the part in order to get the correct dimension as well as which…
