  • Iterative Alignment Issues

    Good morning, My name is Karl and I am a CMM/Calibrations Tech. I am having problems with a lot of my Iterative Alignments. Seems when I just use the "Defaults" settings, they don't calcilate correctly or something. It will ALWAYS Recognize my Origin…

  • Here we go AGAIN... (concentricity and alignments)

    Another instance of my programmer and I butting heads. First off, I want to ask... Is an alignment needed to measure the concentricity of 2 circles? If so, can a proper alignment be made with paint on the plane that we are leveling the part to? He says…

  • Cad model Alignment PC-DMIS 2001

    Hey everyone, I would say I am an average level programmer, not so great at working with models with complex origins though. I was just wondering if anyone could offer me some links, advice, help, anything to learn how to manipulate the origin in…

  • Using Alignment Features for part measurement?

    Hello all, I never really thought of this till today, but is it proper practice to use an alignment feature as a feature for actual measurement, or is it considered in-accurate? Example: I MANUALLY use a plane, line and point for my manual alignment…

  • Offline to online alignment frustrations

    Hi all, So basically I am new to the whole cmm industry but i have spent a great deal of time trying to figure this out. We just acquired an offline license for programming our parts. We have never done this before and I can not figure out how to get…

  • "primary point does not lie on secondary axis, tertiary not allowed"

    Having a small hurdle to overcome here, would greatly appreciate a little advice if you got the time. Profile of a Surface execution scenerio...(dmis cad, not ++) Primary -A- = Zplus plane (leveled and z origin) Secondary -B- = Line on Yminus…

  • Please Help.....Alignment Problem!

    Using a plane-circle-circle.I level plane , align using both circles , and origin x,y, in circle #1.When I origin z using the plane it jumps x,y, origin point out of the cirlce and off to the side.This is being done in rough alignment.I'm at a loss here…

  • 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…

  • One point Alignment using CAD

    Just recently I have been running larger samples of parts. The time has come for me to automate my program even more. One way of doing this is a "one-point" alignment on the part. I have tried this before but have fallen foul, I think it was because I…

  • Profile/Alignment Question

    Please see below. What that is a plug gauge I've been asked to check. The hole is for the handle (obviously). The CAD file has the hole perfectly in the center of the profile like it supposed to be. Unfortunately the tool room did not give the hole as…

  • Alignment to offset holes?

    Hi all. First post. Sorry if it's a rookie question. I want to do a Plan-Circle-Circle alignment. The first hole is the x0 y0 origin. The second hole has some given coordinates, say x8.0, y4.0. I don't want to have to calculate the angle and…
