I have been reading the posts for a couple of weeks now. This seems to be a very friendly community.
We are getting ready to install PC DMIS NC on a Makino A100E as a pilot project. In this forum I am what you would call a monkey. I have 25 years…
Hello,
I’m working with PCdmis software, at the end of the program, I would like to add; Maximum, Minimum and Average deviation. How do I do that?
Thank you.
Hi everyone ... I'm Italian and I hope to explain myself in English. I have a pc-dmis version from 2013 with a mistral 103 machine. Every time I make the report by running the program, the previous measurements are always added .... I have now reached…
HxGN NC Server 2020 R2 is now released and can be seen on the Universal Updater! This is a huge change for NC Server. Complete new UI and lots of improvements. Upgrading to it from 2017-2019 systems from Gateway, there are some possible gotchas when uninstalling…
Hi - New user filling in for a co-worker that recently passed. I am programming offline for a cnc gantry machining center. My question is how to match cad axis to machine axis.. In the pic the white line with dot would be the machining -Z- axis .
Thanks…
Hello all - I am new to pc-demis..former Catia NC programmer. The man that performed this task passed away so I am trying to help. He used probe tip MP1 in a previous version. When I try to modify the probe tip from within the software it does not take…
I have mid-point geometry that was created from actual points collected from either side of a feature. I need to report it to the nominal theoretical center points but when I bring in the nominal points to PC-DMIS it won't let me pick that geometry to…
I'm trying to write some position information from some of my on machine probe hits. I have an example that was provided to me that shows a CNC/WRITEVARIABLE for a circle measured (CIR1). It shows CNC/WRITEVARIABLE,1,CIR1.D OK I get that it's using the…
I have a PC-DMIS program and I want two separate reports from the same program. I use the report command / print command to get two separate reports but only the first one has the standard PC-DMIS header with the program name, time, date, ect. on it.…
I am trying to print .pdf files to a path on my PC. This was working fine but now even though the path in the dialog box is as I want it the print function ignores the path adds it to the file name and always places the report file in the same folder…
Hello All,
New to PCDMIS NC here. Want to know what the best practice is for updating tool diameter and length wear, to compensate for a feature that is out of lower tolerance band.
We have some tight tolerances on a high production part that…
Hey all, long time CNC programmer here, first time PC-DMIS NC user. I am looking to get my feet wet using this software to create on the machine inspection programs for the shop. Managers will be sending me to some training for this software, but in the…
We are going to be using PcDmis on a large CNC 5 axis mill and I need to define a probe head (which is really the A and B rotary head on the n/c machine) that matches the definition of the rotary head on the n/c machine.
I have been using pcdmis on a Romer Arm for years but just got a job at a shop that has it on a CNC machine. Since I’ve only used it with a Romer Arm, I’ve never had to program move commands or alignment in relation to a machine. No one that I work with…
I have been asked to compare NC-Dmis and Inspection plus software. My company would like to measure the parts in the fixture. Of the two which is the better software?
From what I have read it looks like NC-dmis might be better for that application…
Looking to get into PC-Dmis NC. We currently use Renishaw touch probes to locate parts. Never used them for actual measurements.
Some info:
I'm a CMM guy, not a machinist, is that a problem for NC?
The machinists we do have tend to crash the…
Probing on Haas VF-6 machine with 5th axis trunion, program seems to post and run fine. Problem is when PC-Dmis tries to analyze and print report, I receive a "best fit calculation" error and the report has zero deviation at all? is this a post setup…
Trying to process a probe tip calibration journal file, and we keep getting this error.
I am stuck, is this a settings issue?
journal file:

Hi all - first let me say, I am not a PC-DMIS guy, I am the lead man in a mid sized machine shop. We have been using PC-DMIS in the shop for many years for on the machine probing of machined composite parts for inspection/quality purposes. My issue is…
Has anyone had a problem with opening a program that you've used before and the CAD is gone? It still runs the program. I can import the CAD again and transform it and it will match the program written. They just seem to randomly disappear. Running PC…
Anyone have screenshots of your machine definitions for a Fanuc 18M controller that works? I am having issues with what the machine is reporting in the Z axis while probing on a single rotary axis (A). Probe report is telling me my Z numbers are out by…
Question,
Are all the same fitting, reporting, scripting capabilities of PC-DMIS CMM available in the NC version?
Say for example if you measured features on a part and applied a best fit could you update the CNC/Program origin based on the fit…
