  • Part alignment

    Hello everyone, We are having trouble measuring the part. There are big diferences between our and customer's measurements. The customer is using PolyWorks. I received point coordinates for plane A (5 points) and B (6 points) from a customer (see…

  • How can i bring back car alignment when i'm on simple alignment ?

    Have part aligned to ABC datum system it was told car alignment is no needed, but now they changed their mind. I made first alignment on part like plane line point, and i do not know how can i "bring back" the car alignment. Do not have coordinates…

  • Can someone please tell me how to align this part? I tried many times but it didn't happen

  • Distance dimension at an angle

    Hello everyone, I have this part that I have to measure distance 97,01 between these pins that are at an angle, meaning they are not aligned with either X,Y,Z axis. How do I measure it, do I need to align it first, if so, what kind of alignments I need…

  • First time CAD alignment

    Hello, This is my cad model and coordinate system when I import it into pcdmis. My actual part is on CMM is placed as on the picture down left. How do I transform coordinate system to other point on my CAD model? How do I align it with my actual part…

  • Trying to measure a 3mm hole with a 1mm probe

    I am trying to measure the position of a 3mm diameter hole using a 1mm probe tip. I tried using the auto circle measure tool and it positioned the probe incorrectly. It didn't move over the hole, but was off by about 2mm. Why would this happen? The hole…

  • Mastering Move Points

    The first job I programmed CMMs at it seems that when I inserted move points in my program that it worked great and exactly like I wanted it to. I could create move points in my programs OFFLINE and they would move to the exact coordinates relative to…

  • Multiple parts setup

    Hello. I'm trying to create a program that can measure 24 equal parts in a fixture. I've created a program that simply shifts the origin to measure the next part. The issue arises in the alignment, where PC-DMIS compensates, causing me to measure…

  • ALIGNMENT/GOOD PRACTICE HELP?

    IM JUST ASKING FOR SOME GUIDENCE ON MAKING MY ALINMENTS. WHICH TYPE IS BEST FOR THE SITUATION AND WHY/HOW YOU COME TO THIS CONCLUSION I HAVE MY PART ALIGNED WITH (A -Z), (B'S Z+)

  • Issues with measuring holes at 90 degrees.

    I've never been able to get this to work. Everything works great when I'm measuring holes level to the surface plate, but as soon as I articulate the probe to A90B0, A90B90, or any other combination, all of my holes come out at least .010" shifted from…

  • Help Aligning Part with GD&T

    The only "Training" I've received was 02/21-24/2021 approximately 2 1/2 days on a manual machine on PCDMIS-2019 I I'm thine only operator on any shift. we upgraded to a GLOBAL S GREEN 7,5,7 this past December. and apart from first shot/last shots involving…

  • Alignment using only two datums

    I've attached an image of a part I'm working on and I always get confused by seeing only two datums I'm not sure how to go about creating my alignment my alignment I know this is basic stuff but I'm with limited training on top of being the only operator…

  • CAD to PART alignment

    Hello everyone, I'm new with CMM and PCDMIS as I started working on Hexagon 7.10.7 machine around 10 days ago and haven't had any training. My question is I find it hard to align imported CAD file to part on machine. When I import my CAD file, I do…

  • 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 save and recall alignment works

    When i create alignment my coordinates are ok, but after recalling it my coordinates are unreal. How can i use this function proppelly ?

  • Redo alignment after tip rotation?

    If I do a DCC alignment to the part's datums in A90B180, then rotate the tip to A90B0 to use DCC mode to measure something else, do I need to re do the DCC alignment from scratch? Assume calibration is good on all tips and tip angles. I have heard you…

  • 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…

  • Subroutine Features not moving with Alignment

    Hi guys, first post here, but I've been scouring the forums for hours trying to find the solution to this one I've got a set of features that are common across a slew of different parts, so I've made a subroutine that measures those features and reports…

  • I am lost on how to align this part please help me!

    Can someone please walk me through how to read this and do my alignment please im so lost i have 2 more print pages if needed it would help me out greatly, i am beyond frustrated at this point. Please and thank you n532011 Attached Files

  • Round (tube) parts alignment (Romer Arm)

    Dear forum members, does anybody can share his/her experience of round parts alinment when using a portable arm? I tried to align tube with two rounded slots and through holes but each time I faced with inversion of two coordinates after alignment - when…

  • 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…
