  • 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…
  • DDOF: Waiting For In Position help!!!

    Hello everyone im having this issue with my CMM its a Brown & Sharpe Xcel with a Sharp32 controller, the error that im having its DDOF: Waiting For In Position, what happens its when i calibrate my tips and it starts the DCC move on the Z axis touches…
  • GD&T measurement error

    Good afternoon all, I am trying to set up a quick program to measure a true position call out for a part we are running at the shop. it is a small bushing and the TP call out is the O.D. cylinder to the I.D. cylinder (datum A) and a perpendicular…
  • PC-DMIS 2022.2 SP3 Constant Crashing on One seat and Tip Errors on Another Seat

    Hi all, Just a quick post, recently updated our CMM online and our offline programming seats to 2022.2 SP3, ever since we have had lots of crashing on one of our online seats without any error messages, and tip errors on another seat, this has began…
  • 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…
  • code for checking an exception

    Need to calculate these from a set of 8 results [Spacing error not to exceed 0.005, spacing between adjacent slot 0.003, 1 place may be 0.005 max] I am using following code to calculate spacing error within 0.005, but I'm not sure how to find "…
  • PC-DMIS giving bad results

    Need help!! Not sure why PC-DMIS keeps giving me bad results. I have created different alignments, different hits, different workplanes and views but PC-DMIS still gives me wrong numbers. Any suggestions on what is going on? On the blueprint I have…
  • Loadprobe Command does not Prompt Operator

    Hello All, My company has recently run a program on two CMMs. The first time the program was run, each loadprobe line would prompt the operator to load that probe before moving forward. When the program was run on a different CMM, the program…
  • Clear Plane Leaving Z Axis Limits

    The clear planes in my program do not want to co-operate today. I'm using a read point for the manual alignment, as far as I can see I did not forget to translate my Z. DCC_ORG Is a circle that takes 3 sample hits on the Z=0 surface I want. The clearplane…
  • Crazy Diameter (math error)

    Edit: reducing the hits to 3 INCREASED the accuracy of my measurements. Special thanks to UKCMM! So I was measuring a cylinder and I got some pretty crazy results (See the diameter). Trying to figure out why this happened beyond some good ol…
  • how to increase speed?

    Hi All I use PC-DMIS CAD++ 2019 R1 on B&S 5.7.5, its absolute speed is 700 (this is what I see when I open F5 ). Most of our programs run with speed 200-300mm/s. I changed it to 500 in program edit window but didn't see any difference. I searched…
  • Not able to add Move Points into code or by shortcut keys

    I am unaware of any option in the settings to turn off move points. I have tried Cntrl+M typing in move/ and hitting the move point button on the jog box. I have also been trying to make a clearance plane and I cannot add move/clearplane either. Does…
  • Mirror Program CAD error

    I have a program and once I mirror it the program mirrors properly but the CAD doesn't follow into the new program. It seems to only work sometimes. Am I doing something wrong to cause this? Thanks in advance!
  • Out of Stroke Limit

    Hello, I'm pretty new to PC-DMIS and CMM programming in general. I've been working with it for a few months now. My problem is this. I keep getting an out of stroke error when switching to DCC alignment and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The machine…
  • 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…
  • Vision Crashes When Measuring Circles

    Running PC-DMIS 2013 MR1 SP5 on Windows 7 PC connected to an Optiv Performance z443 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello! I have several part programs that run though to completion using touch probes I…
  • X axis excess lag error

    Yesterday while running my CMM the alignment must have been messed up. Unfortunately, my machine ran the z axis pole (not sure what its called I'm fairly new to CMMs) into a gage clamp. It made a weird noise and faulted out for 'x axis excess lag error…
  • I can't turn off cmm

    I have an amplitude error coming up in PCDMIS and I read on here that turning the CMM on and off and letting it home itself might solve the issue. Problem is I don't know how to turn off CMM besides just the emergency stop button. It is a Brown & Sharpe…
