  • Measuring Thickness at Specific Points Using Scan Data

    Hi Guys, We make a lot of relatively thin, flat parts, many of which are in a high-nickel ferrous alloy (so they're a pain to machine well) and many of which have tight tolerances on the thickness and/or flatness of the large sides. Because the parts…
  • Programming for a R&R (programmig reccommendations needed)

    Hello folks, I am being tasked with a task for an R&R on our CMM, and though it seems simple enough, I realize there are several ways that are possible to structure the tests. I wanted to get some input about methods and see if it makes for a better…
  • circle constr from points in loop doesn't change dimension when measured with label

    I have gauge with 2 different diameters inside – bowtie shape. Smaller dia I measure with no problems, for larger I created 2 loops, 12 points each. I even managed to construct circle and measure it (you guys helped me a few weeks ago to do this). Because…

  • Header not repeating in looped program

    Hi all! I've got a program that loops to measure four parts on one run. The program loops properly and gives me four separate reports except after the first run our company header is not carried on past the first report. What am i missing? I know I am…
  • Looping With A Twist

    My boss unilaterally designed this fixture … for 13 pc sample. Parts are aprox 4.3X4.3 inch. My plan – start by selecting 1 or 6 parts. Read point on first part. Start loop with offsets and 180° rotation. At end of loop X and Y offsets are updated in…
  • Looping and keeping the numbers

    I have a fixture that holds 10 parts. Let's say I have to run 50. How do I have the report continue with the eleventh part? Meaning once all 10 have run. It starts back at one in the report. I am new to the logic part of the software....obviously
  • Incrementing serial numbers

    Hello all, I was wondering how I might be able to increment the "serial numbers" in the reports of each instances of the program instead of incrementing the "part name?" It currently outputs the part name (program title). Where do I need to go to…
