I have come across another issue that im having with exact measure ( i have not tried this on "geometric tolerance command" yet). The problem i am having is the datum shift when applied thru simultaneous evaluation (s.e.) is making erroneous datum shifts…
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…
Hi guys this is my first post so forgive me if I miss out any information, I'm recently updated to version 2021.1 (from 2020 R2) and am having an issue with positional dimensions in the "text only" report format.
Everything is displayed fine when the…
When the pc-dmis software shuts down abnormally, the program does not appear in command mode.
In summary mode, it is displayed normally.
There is no problem running in command mode, but the components are invisible.
After switching to summary…
Ok so I have stolen some code from here on using a script to open a program and run it, then closes the program. It runs and works perfectly... UNTIL I try to make the filepath variable, such as ("C:\Users\Public\Desktop" + strID ) so that I can use a…
Hello,
I am having trouble understanding how this TP callout can be out by so much. I attached a pic of what the report looks like and the code is shown below. Does anybody have any ideas? I have tried redoing the alignment but that did not…
Every time I search these forums for any information regarding this new software I am met with no information as it seems no one is using this software. Is it irrelevant for experienced CMM Programmers/Users or is it just a problematic software (like…
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…
Not really sure where to exactly i should've posted this but its here now. I am recently new to CMM so im still learning alot. That being said I have a slight issue with something im trying to do with my CMM I am trying to do an adaptive circle scan on…
I have been getting an error on my CMM when it changes probe angles. It is the TR_FG014 Wrist Error. I have been looking through the forum and have found some similar problems but not the same.
It is a PH9A Renishaw probe.
The problem has been…
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…
Everyone,
Is there a database or index that includes a vast majority, if not all all, PC-DMIS errors that occur? I've checked some places online but my search has yielded me nothing. Trying to create a control plan for our shop floor's operators so…
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…
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…
Good Morning All!
I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing the same issues I am with crashes to the program. My PC-DMIS software seems to crash at least once a day and it has already crashed 3 times before 8:00 AM this morning. I could be creating…
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…
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…
I hope there is a simple solution for this. I tried searching the forum but found nothing related.
Here is my scenario:
The CMM operator runs the part and there are various errors. Some of them look like errors in programming. I take the PRG file…
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…
Here is my scenario:
I have a Plane A
I have two points for B
I create a line between the two points
I project the line to Plane A (Not always necessary but a good practice)
I now want to create Plane B perpendicular to Plane A through my…
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…
Hello,
I am a student who has been tasked with learning how to operate the CMM in the lab I work in. It has not been used in years, and the last person to operate it graduated 4+ years ago. I have created a program but when I go to automate it I get…
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…
