  • ERROR CE ,S% ,TR_CE ,0x1400304d Position out of the machine stoke limit

    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…

  • equate alignment step by step

    Good Afternoon 1st time I'm trying to use equate alignment for a long part - I used to measure part in 2 separated stages so I have 2 separated independent programs. I combined them in one program remembering to change IDs in stage 2 to avoid duplicates…

  • Manual alignment not "snapping" to cad geometry

    Hello all, I am hitting a major block in my programing for a cylindrical part. After importing the CAD model and establishing an alignment, my trihedron is right where I want it. using a top plane to level the part and establish translation in…

  • Adding manual alignment to completed programs

    Hello all, The programmer before me made all of his programs by starting in DCC mode. foregoing the manual alignment and instead just adding notes on where to set the part on the grid plate in the exact same location every time. Our small old…

  • issue moving programs from one cmm to another.

    I have an issue that I have been trying to understand for a while now. I write all my pc-dmis programs on an offline seat in Pc Dmis 2017R2. I work off of models made by our engineers. I make up the programs then I back save them to our online Pc-dmis…

  • Program to find inline hole

    Hello everyone! last week i came across an issue in which first hole was mismarked during production. The part was similar to attached image with two set of holes 1st set has 30 holes and 2nd has 59, in which 1st hole of both set are inline with each…

  • Profile surface datum definition

    I am trying to set the datum, but I wonder if there is a way to set the datum a when datum A is a curved surface as shown in the figure. version : pc-dmis cad++ 2018 r1 ​

  • Iterative Alignment

    Hi Everyone! I am working with a forge part with no datum structure. It is calling for a profile of .120 u .09 to itself. (+.09/-.03). My though is that the simplest way to approach this is with an iterative alignment (machine to part),…

  • Read point

    Hi everyone ! 1.What am i doing wrong? the readpoint wont move or even touch the part when i put the probe where i like to start. the cad model was provided with the trihedron located where is shown in the picture. i also try putting a point where…

  • A Couple Newbie CMM Questions

    Good evening everyone! I’m extremely new to CMMs, GD&T, and pretty much anything to do with this whole world. (>4 months) My employer found themselves in a tight spot when our old CMM Operator/Programmer left for another company. The previous employee…

  • 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…

  • Plane line point vs plane plane plane

    Hello everyone, I am aligning and programming utilizing a J-corner fixture. In my experience i have been told that aligning to plane plane plane would be ideal for several reasons. My colleague believes that a plane line point is better. I do not…

  • Out of Stroke Limit

    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…

  • 1 alignment, 2 parts?

    I've got 2 parts, mirrored in Y, on one fixture. The fixture has 3 tooling balls, each with 2 sets of coordinates, one set for each part. Is there a way for me to write both parts into one program without having to pick up the tooling balls more than…

  • Dimensioning with Variables

    Hello! PC-DMIS 2013 MR1, Optiv Perf. 443 ------------------------------------------------- Basically, I have a cylindrical part in a rotary table. I take a few hits with a touch probe to align, and make some measurements for some notches. After…

  • Programming with Die Pull degree callouts

    I have been trying to write a program for a part and have noticed that my part print nominals aren't matching up with my CAD nominal. After looking closely at the part print, I noticed a direction arrow and a die pull arrow with a degree called out. This…

  • Need some help

    I am new to using PC-DMIS and trying to write a program. I have aligned the part and taken my measurements. What do I need to do so that when I move the part and put a different(butsame) part on my table it will be able to automatically run the program…
