  • How to scan surface without CAD

    Just started at a new company a few days ago and they have a touch trigger scanning probe (sm25). I managed to set it up with no prior knowledge of what i was doing but all ive managed is single line scans. I dont have a CAD and need to know how to do…
  • Freeform Scan Does not Scan continuosly it takes points (I have a SP 25 analog Probe)

    How can I make the freeform to scan continuously I am using a CAD File and it does follow the pad that I choose on the CAD is just that does not use the continuous scan it probe/touch the pad. (Any other basic scan works fine) (PcDmis 2014 CAD++ SP25…
  • Linear Closed TTP Scan using CAD

    2013 MR1 OFFLINE Having problems doing a linear closed scan on a curved slot using a touch probe. It is only taking one point while running offline. I've tried changing the Noms mode from MASTER to Find Noms and the Boundary type from Sphere to Plane…
  • Scan results different from keyed-in points

    I have a part with a very tight profile tolerance (form+location) of .0005. I wrote a program with a model and aligned to all 3 datums. I keyed in gage points and read the vectors from the model. Part is out of tolerance (which I expected) by about…
  • Best scan selection

    So, I am very new to the idea of scanning, worse yet I will be learning how to set it up in an offline seat. Not that I have an issue with this, but I've always heard scanning at the machine is much easier. Any who: Any suggestions on what type of…
  • Leapfrog and scanning

    Software: PC-DMIS Portable Equipment: Absolute Arm Romer We have an IP set up in the shop and we have to scan the whole part for exporting a cloud of points for surfacing. We can get most of the part but have to move the Romer arm to complete the…
  • Merging two poinntclouds

    If I am scanning a model and I have to move to the model to get surface that cannot be reached by the first position, is there a way to align and merge the two point clouds together to make one point cloud of the 3 dimensional object?
  • Scanning problems

    When I am checking a part and I use the scan option, how do I compare points to nominals from the CAD data? For example, I import a part with CAD and I can use the hard-probe and touch a point and on the report it will say, Nominal = 95.00 Actual = 94…
  • Pause Before/After Scan 2011MR1 & SP25

    *SOLVED* With no program open, Edit>MachineInterfaceSetup the "Use TCPIP to drive machine" tick box was not checked. Which is why I wasn't getting the message, it did not think it needed the connection, so no error when it wasn't there. The IP addy…
  • need help with freeform scan

    Hi all, I'm having a bit of a problem w/ a freeform scan, I have a semi cylindrical surface that i'm trying to scan(xyplane). I can't use a section scan b/c the surface is also semi-circular in the yz plane and is not very thick, section scan just…
  • Extracting multiple high points from a scan?

    I'm currently trying to measure the fir tree root of a turbine blade using an SP25 to scan across the serations. The root has 3 lobes of decreasing size which I need to find the high points of. I'm using maxindex at the moment but obviously this is…
  • Ignore part of a scan using blade software

    Ok here is the problem... I have scanned my airfoil using bladerunner software and everything ran smooth. The casting i scanned has trailing edge slots that are open on the concave side of the casting. So what i did was stop the partial scans right…
