  • TR_FG014 Wrist Error

    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…

  • 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…

  • List of all error messages and meaning/fixes

    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…

  • Unable to calibrate 2mm ball probe

  • 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…
