  • Unknown Move Point Deviation

    Let me preface that I'm very new to programming, as well as, operating the CMM. So something that might seem like a obvious solution to most of you is like finding a needle in a hay stack for me, haha. Thanks! While writing a program for a part, I have…

  • PC-DMIS 2023.2 dont Saving

    Hello everyone something strange happent. if i turn off the Movement from the TIP in the ClearanceCube(dcc mode) and then i Save the Programm and close it and reopen the same programm, the movement is activ again... Can someone tell me why? :D …

  • Resolving corrupt probe calibration result

    Can anyone advise how to fix a suspect probe calibration result? I first noticed the positions reported by (2) different probes are off each other by mm. In the calibration history of the one I see some major change in geometry compared to a few days…

  • ContinousTempSensor

    On a recent Hexagon service visit, the field engineer noticed in the setting editor that our “ContinousTempSensor” was turned off. He explained that it continuously samples the temperature throughout the routine, but wasn’t able to dive deeper. We are…

  • 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…

  • Where can I find the CAD model for my indexing probe head?

    It's not available under my graphic Items and this would be helpful for visualizing TIP angles in offline mode to check for clearance. I have a HH-AS8-T2.5

  • Probe Vector will not Calculate when calibrated.

    Hello, Having an issue with the Probe not calculating the vectors during calibration. 1. When I select "reset" the default value is off, seems to always come back a (i=1,j=0,k=0) no matter what angle I am on. 2. When I try to calibrate (say A6-B…

  • Reload Probe DAT File

    We are running PC-DMIS CAD++ Version 2016.0 (Release) x64 Build# 1179 (Service Pack 10) The computer where our CMM software was corrupted and we lost everything on it. Reloaded everything, including PC-DMIS. When we start PC-DMIS it does not have…

  • Transfer of Probes/ Probe Change Data

    Good Morning All! I will make this short. I am taking over the position of the previous CMM Operator and have to make my own account on the computer connected to the CMM. When I opened up the program in the new account, I realized that nothing transfers…

  • Import scanned features into solidworks

    I am working with PCDMIS and a 7axis Hexagon roamer arm. Currently I have a fairly complex part and with several compound angles about the duct work on this part and do not have a solid model but need one. Is there a good method of probing planes and…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Manually removing probe tips on a scanning head.

    Hello all, My companies newest machine came with a scanning style probe holder( HP-S-X1H ​) and I am unsure how to remove the probe manually. while it is new I would like to know this for when we need to do preventative maintenance on the styli…

  • Probe crashes into bridge and probe rack during qualification

    Good afternoon, I’m hoping one of you professionals can help me out with this! I can’t seem to grasp what each of the values under Probe Utilities>Setup>Clearance Distance actually change. I’m trying to get the probe to move up 8 inches above the…

  • 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…

  • issue moving programs from one cmm to another.

    I have an issue that I have been trying to understand for a while now. I write all my pc-dmis programs on an offline seat in Pc Dmis 2017R2. I work off of models made by our engineers. I make up the programs then I back save them to our online Pc-dmis…

  • Shank Qualification Option not available on PC DMIS Pro

    Does PC DMIS pro offer Shank Qualification? Attached Files

  • Building a probe using knuckle joint

    Hello everyone, Is anyone using Knuckle joint for building probe? I'm trying to build a probe as shown in attached image to inspect a particular part but I'm not sure how to achieve that particular angle physically. Also, is there any limitation…

  • 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…

  • Live probe graphic completely wrong

    Occasionally, when I start a new program offline, the simulated probe graphic location will get messed up and be completely offset from the simulated points that it is taking. Graphically, the probe will be be performing its motions out in space many…

  • "SP600" probe measures too small

    Good day, I have a problem with the "SP600" probe head. The diameters are, regardless of whether they are scanned or with an auto-element circle, it is always exactly 0.010mm smaller than it should. Tested on a purchased ring with a certificate…

  • Iterative Alignment

    Hi Everyone! I am working with a forge part with no datum structure. It is calling for a profile of .120 u .09 to itself. (+.09/-.03). My though is that the simplest way to approach this is with an iterative alignment (machine to part),…

  • 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…

  • Read point

    Hi everyone ! 1.What am i doing wrong? the readpoint wont move or even touch the part when i put the probe where i like to start. the cad model was provided with the trihedron located where is shown in the picture. i also try putting a point where…

  • 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…
