  • Calibrate Tips vs ScanRDV. Combined?

    I am getting into scanning on 3 of the CMM machines I have, they all support scanning. My question is on the calibration and how i should approach it. I have autocalibration programs that we use to calibrate our whole library at once. I currently just…
  • Avoiding the Bottom of the Sphere during Calibration

    Hi all- I have had many calibration questions recently. Here is the issue: There are two machines, running the same exact probe and build. The only difference between the two calibration setups is that on the new one, we are using a calibration…
  • Custom Disc Probes w/ Rollers and Calibration Routine

    I have put together some training notes relating to the probe builder and custom disc probes with selectable roller tips that I though the community could benefit from. This came about from repeated questions relating to "What are the little bumps on…
  • Probe results editing

    Hello all, I have a question on how to get my calibration results to read to 5 decimal places as I am trying to see exactly how much deviation I have in microns. Going through set up and changing the decimal place there seems to only make it so…
  • Export ScanRdv calibration data

    Hello I'm trying to get the ScanRdv into a variable. With the the "normal" calibration I can use the "PROBEDATA" command to get all the results like offset, diameter, PRbRdv and so on But I can't find a way to export the values after the scan…
  • "On Error"-Command Doesnt Work! #Check Calibration Limits

    Hello PC-DMIS-Forum, I need to write a validated measurement routine. For this I need a confirmation that the calibration has worked or not. But I have noticed that the "On Error" command doesnt work. As you can see in the pictures, my routine…
  • Measured Probe Diameter Error Exceeds limits

    I am newer to programing and mostly just use the vision part of my machine. But seem to be having some issues with the Tactile side of my machine. Half way though probe calibration I get this "Measured probe diameter error exceeds limits." It then…
  • Automatically Calibrate a Single Tip

    good day, can someone explain to me how exactly "Automatically Calibrate a Single Tip" works. So far I have only managed that pcDMIS gives me an error message that the matrix cannot be calculated. otherwise I've always used AutoCalibrate…
  • Autocalibration Calibration Sphere

    Hello All, I'm not sure if this is a common thing but i have an auto calibration program I set up to calibrate all our angles at once with. We have multiple calibration spheres that we use, for example when one is out to be certified by a 3rd party…
  • RDS-Software - How to calibrate 45° probe with a sphere - Shaft touches the sphere

    Hi, sorry for the maybe easy question. I am a beginner. At the RDS-Software: I don't know how to calibrate my 45° probe at our RomerArm 7525 with the sphere. I can not measure the nine points in the RDS-Software, because I touch the sphere…
  • Auto callibration

    i know how to input auto calibration in to the start of a program, i also know how to define my parameter set. is there some script using flow commands after the auto calibration that would enable the program to review the auto calibration results…
  • Probe Calibration Interval Stop Gap

    I am looking to terminate a program if the probe tips have not been calibrated withing a certain time frame. The warning message just isn't enough for these guys... I think I need functions PROBEDATA() and SYSTEMDATE() but I am not sure what expression…
  • Unable to calibrate 2mm ball probe

    I'm fairly new to running a CMM and I'm having an issue that I'm not sure how to fix. Every time I try to calibrate the 2mm ball probe that I typically use (and have used almost daily for the past couple months), it just refuses to calibrate automatically…
  • Adding Probe Angles AFTER Calibration Sphere has been moved

    Good morning everyone, After searching the forum (seems using google to do it gets better results!), I can't find a clear answer to this question that has been asked many times : After calibrating A0B0, and additional angles - If I move the…
  • calibration issue ?

    Hello all! I just really confused my self here. I heard someone last week saying the my CMM calibration ( Global Image) calibrates in Microns.? I always though it was on the tents. I'm inspecting parts that are .0004 tents on profile, I get results…
  • Crash during Calibration

    Hello All, I have three CMMs running various versions of PCDMIS On one of these, a B&S One 7.10.7 running PC-DMIS 2015, I just tried to write a new probe file and calibrate it. I've done this hundreds of times without any issue, so expected the…
  • Calibrating Single Probe Angle

    I have been asked if it is possible to Calibrate a single probe angle or do I have to run all of the probes in the probe tree in order to maintain the relationship between all the probe assemblies?
  • Comparing the PROBEDATA("TIME") vs SYSTEMTIME for Calibration time limits

    Looking for some help in regards to the coding for the above. I want to enforce a 12 hour time limit on calibrations, i.e if the SYSTEMTIME elapses 12 hours from the PROBEDATA time, a label in the program forces it to the bottom of the program, preventing…
  • "No probing within probelimit"

    Hi, all. today i did run my calibration program and everyting seemed good, but after the first exchange of probes i reicive error message "TR_PRB01,no Probing within Probelimit !" to me it`s odd, because i did run the calibration program for a while…
  • Calibration "Out of Memory" Error 2017 & 2018

    I am currently running versions 2015, 2017 & now 2018 and I have a unique problem with only one machine running 2017 & 2018 but not 2015. This machine is running in Offline mode only. When I try to calibrate a new probe angle I get an 'Out of Memory…
  • Autocailbration losing sphere mid calibration

    Where I work we have 6 CMM's. We use the same AutoCalibrate program on every machine. It works fine on 5 of them, but on one it will run for about an hour touching the sphere and calibrating the angles we have set. Then randomly it will go out in space…
  • Probe calibration - Wrong parameter

    Hi all, i've got an issue with probe calibration. If i want to start tip cal, pc dmis will write that the parameter is wrong. I tried to reset tips, create new tips, call backup, copy new PROBE.dat. The machine can normally measure, but i cannot start…
  • Calibration sphere missing with new update.

    We recently switched from 2013 PC-DMIS TO 2017 R1 and have lost the calibration sphere data. I'm just an operator and have no idea where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction or at least tell me what we have. Thanks, Attached…
  • probe Re Qualification

    I am trying to qualify 3 different probes 1. 2 mm diameter probe 20mm long 2. 1mm diameter star probe on a 20mm extension 3. 5mm diameter probe on a 50mm extension I calibrate the first probe A0B0 saying the sphere has moved then no to the other…
  • Script Help - Object Variable Not Set

    I have written a short script to check if a probe/tip used in the program requires calibration. I am not the most fluent with scripting but I have posted below what I have. Once a program is opened and executed for the first time I usually receive the…
