  • Strange Scan behavior (wobbly scan path)

    I have some strange scan behavior where two machines behave differently. Maybe some of you can give me some insight why this might be happening. We have two machines of the same type. Both Tigos with a fixed scanning head (HP-S-X1-C). Both recently…

  • position of a welded cylinder

    Good morning, I have recently set up a program for a welded flange that has a position callout from one welded cylinder to a perpendicular plane(A) and a cylinder (B) located on the flange beyond the welded cylinder . it has a position of .025…

  • Comparing two COPs of the same part

    Hello, We use our arm for measuring parts after test. Right now trying to see if we can compare a scan of a sample taken before test to a scan of the same sample taken after test. Our romer arm and sample fixture don't move so I don't think I need…

  • Wrong parameters when creating a routine offline

    Hello everyone I have a bit of a strange problem with scanning and I hope maybe one of you guys knows the solution or gets me on the right track. I have 3 different machines and an offline station. 1x Leitz PMM-C 1x DEA Global Advantage …

  • How to change Find_Noms Preference for SCANS

    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…

  • Scanning Setup with Readpoint

    Hello everyone, Lets start with the 'light' information: Leitz: LSPX1H_T Software: 2015.1 Mach: DEA 15.30.10 The machine allows me a good area in 'Y' to locate my part, it also has 12x slot locations that are put in at a nearly 40º angle…

  • Measurement of scan length

    I work in a facility where we make transmission insulators for power lines. We have to measure what they call leakage per customer drawing. We recently purchased a CMM machine and now EVERYONE wants EVERYTHING checked on it. Of course it's a new toy I…

  • PC-DMIS 2017 (interop.pcdlrn.dll) issue on profile of a surface measurements

    Hi, i am software programer so i dont really know about inspection and CMM. i am having issue using the library interop.pcdlrn.dll for the command "perimeter scan" for a "profile of surface". when i'm using the librairy it shows a measurement…

  • Getting Error while scanning

    Hi Guys, We have a scanning error in a controlled program. The starting point of the scanning surface goes to opposite surface and then it runs normally, All the programs which have scanning same like this gives some trouble to us nowadays which we…

  • Body axis scan question

    Hello everyone, I’m using body axis scan to create 3D lines then intersect the lines. One line horizontal and the other roughly vertical. My concern is the lines are not where I expect they would be. For example I set a body axis scan for Z-6.000…

  • Lines to Spheres Scan appearance?

    I searched the forum and came up empty handed. I have 2 seats of PcDmis one shows scans as small little black lines and the other shows them as spheres and colored according to deviation. I want both to be colored spheres. Anyone? Lines: Spheres…

  • best analog scan

    I am struggling with this particular feature and i am not entirely sure why. I had it scanned 3 times by linear open scans then combined them in a constructed feature set. I dimensioned that as a profile of a surface, but it was not working properly as…

  • Issue with graphical view of green path lines in auto feature

    is there any way to skip hole on a cone that has flats on it? i cant get it to rotate around even when i modify the start and end angles. Also, the path lines dont match the measurement strategy. not sure what exactly is going on, maybe i am doing something…

  • Stable Probe function ?

    Dear guys, I've been trying to find "Stable Probe" function, as mentioned in forum The arm that I am using is RA-7330 If you look inside your "portable" tool bar there should be an icon for stable probing. You can also find it underneath…

  • Scanning with a TP20- PCdmis 2015-

    is it possible to program/operate using the scaning function (linear/patch/perimeter) with a TP20 probe? And if so does it actually drag the probe or take single points? and is it worth using it for a large surface or should i stick to single points?…

  • Choppy Scanning

    I am trying to laser scan something with my Romer Arm, but for some reason the scan is super delayed and my scans are coming across very choppy compared to a smooth scan that I'm use to. I have a feeling it's in the settings. But I've never had this problem…

  • Scan Measured to Nominal

    Howdy everyone, I'm trying to get my scans to register the measured values and use them as nominals for future scans. But all the points don't seem to be changing. Any ideas? MOVE/CLEARPLANE SCN2 =FEAT/SCAN,LINEAROPEN,NUMBER OF HITS=20 ,SHOW HITS…

  • wls qflash

    Is anyone using the new Hexagon qflash White Light Scan systems? I am looking for some user feedback regarding accuracy, issues, reporting, bugs etc. I have used a Steinbichler scanner with Polyworks, and also a Romer with Polyworks and I am wondering…

  • How to pull individual points from a scan?

    Not necessarily min or max points, but more like a sample of 15 points from a 1500 point scan...

  • Export XYZ points of Scan

    I have a program with 8 linear open scans in which the alignment is rotating for each scan. Currently I have manually doing an Export:Generic for each alignment to capture the correct XYZ data for the 8 scans. There is approximately 350 points in each…

  • Multiple Find Nominals data sets from single scan?

    For data analysis purposes, I need to discriminate between two alternating surfaces/materials along a single scan path. I would like to scan once in Master mode, then compare that master set of data against the CAD twice, each time referencing a different…

  • 10 sec delay between scans

    I am running a program that has a few scans it . For reasons beyond my control there is a 10 sec or so delay between each scan . This is a part of the program. Thanks in advance.

  • Do changing Target Pts "move" the probe along a surface?

    I'm having problems understanding the code below. My first question is this: By changing the TARG "X" values for each subsequent vector point, is this, in effect, moving the probe along the surface in the X direction? That is, does this code take…

  • Constructing features with scan data

    I'm trying to construct a width feature using scan data. I've used two patch scans on opposing planar surfaces, and constructed planes from each scan. But when I try to construct a 3D width feature--either with the constructed planes, or with the individual…

  • Free form scan w/out cad model

    I'm trying to perform a free form scan on a 6 inch tube with a contoured surface. I plotted my points manually with about 8-10 hits, and when i generate i get an error code and it does not input the scan. Not sure how to correct the problem and to…
