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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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 "…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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!
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…
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…

Hello!
I have several part programs that run though to completion using touch probes

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 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…
