  • Updating Nominals for Position without CAD in Vision

    Is it possible to update Nominals & Tol . same for some selected features according to my drawing ? I don't have any CAD model , and I need to call dimensions for 100 position dimensions. I'm using Legacy Mode , for that reason I need…
  • Combine Feature Hit Data

    Hello! Running PC-DMIS 2013 MR1 SP5 on an Optiv Performance 1z443 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's be clear; I'm not exactly certain what I'm looking for, but bear with me. Basically…
  • 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…
  • Take Image of Points

    I started programming an Optiv Performance 443 running PC-DMIS 2013 Mr1 in April of 2017. I have a program that checks the location of 4 1mm holes on a round part, two sets that are 20mm and 180° apart. Sometimes these parts have burrs, and I know…
  • Vision and Probe Calibration Offset

    Don't break the calibration chain! I am posting this in hopes to have it made into a sticky since I see this issue arise a lot in the Vision section. This document perfectly explains the calibration process for calibrating offset with a Vision primary…
  • DCC Search for Auto-Line Larger than FOV Question

    Is PC-DMIS Capable of searching in an area larger than the FOV for a line? If not, has anyone automated an iterative search for a feature in an area larger than the FOV? (Without stopping the routine with '... not detected' errors) Thank you
  • Calibrating 20X Lens Focus Range Error HOW TO FIX?

    Hey guys, Today I have been trying to calibrate my 20X Nikon Lens. Specs: Machine: Optiv 2z763 PCDMIS: 2011 Probe: Mycrona_Fixed Optiv 20X 1/2 CCD ( Something Along These Lines ) This lens has not been built on our machine before…
  • CMM-Ve Accuracy

    Looking to purchasing the CMM-Ve for our B&S One CMM with a Tesastar-M articulating head. We work with tolerances as small as +/-.0002" and I need to know if the CMM-Ve is a good option for us. I wanted to ask an opinion from someone other than a Hexagon…
  • Vision coordinates to touch probe

    I heard it was possible to capture the center coordinates of a feature and feed them to the touch probe. Example: I'm looking down on a cube, the camera captured the edges and determined the center. Now I want my touch probe to locate the cube…
  • Increasing Accuracy of Radii

    Hey y'all, I'm an untrained inexperienced PC-DMIS user. I started learning on my own a week and a half ago at the request of my boss at my internship for GE. I am working on a OPTIV optical CMM. We are measuring several radii on notches on the part as…
  • Measuring flatness 0.10mm using the camera only??

    I am trying to find the quickest way of checking the flatness of some lock plates of 0.10mm tolerance. I have managed to make a fixture to locate them in the same place each time taking out the manual alignment each part (you only have to do the first…
  • Does anyone know of any type of documentation for CWS (chromatic white light sensor)

    Hello everybody I am looking for some kind of literature, user manual, or PP presentation or anything that will help me with the process of learning how to use CWS on optiv vision system. thanks in advance
  • Mycrona Calibration ( after v4.1 to v2009 upgrade)

    We updated PC-Dmis, on our Mycrona Red Line, from 4.1 Beta version to 2009. I set my search paths, for the probe files, to WAI\PC-DMIS 2009. I also copied all the probe files, and the zoom (or camera), and pasted them into the 2009 folder. I am only having…
