  • Loadprobe Command does not Prompt Operator

    Hello All, My company has recently run a program on two CMMs. The first time the program was run, each loadprobe line would prompt the operator to load that probe before moving forward. When the program was run on a different CMM, the program…

  • TR_FG014 Wrist Error

    I have been getting an error on my CMM when it changes probe angles. It is the TR_FG014 Wrist Error. I have been looking through the forum and have found some similar problems but not the same. It is a PH9A Renishaw probe. The problem has been…

  • Renishaw Probe in PC-DMIS

    Hello All! I am still green to PC-DMIS and I am trying to define a new disc probe, Renishaw P/N A-5555-0298 4mm disc probe, but I am unsure on how to do so. I read that the probe wizard will do this but I was wondering if there was an easier way to download…

  • Unable to calibrate 2mm ball probe

    I'm fairly new to running a CMM and I'm having an issue that I'm not sure how to fix. Every time I try to calibrate the 2mm ball probe that I typically use (and have used almost daily for the past couple months), it just refuses to calibrate automatically…

  • Adding Probe Angles AFTER Calibration Sphere has been moved

    Good morning everyone, After searching the forum (seems using google to do it gets better results!), I can't find a clear answer to this question that has been asked many times : After calibrating A0B0, and additional angles - If I move the…

  • PC-DMIS will not index the probe head position

    When trying to run the TIP/ command either inside a program, by the toolbar, or by manually typing the command in, the CMM will not index the head position. This is for any user logged into the CMM computer. We recently updated the Operating system from…

  • Crash during Calibration

    Hello All, I have three CMMs running various versions of PCDMIS On one of these, a B&S One 7.10.7 running PC-DMIS 2015, I just tried to write a new probe file and calibrate it. I've done this hundreds of times without any issue, so expected the…

  • Not able to add Move Points into code or by shortcut keys

    I am unaware of any option in the settings to turn off move points. I have tried Cntrl+M typing in move/ and hitting the move point button on the jog box. I have also been trying to make a clearance plane and I cannot add move/clearplane either. Does…

  • PC-DMIS 2013 - Student Trying to learn

    Hello, I am a student who has been tasked with learning how to operate the CMM in the lab I work in. It has not been used in years, and the last person to operate it graduated 4+ years ago. I have created a program but when I go to automate it I get…

  • "No probing within probelimit"

    Hi, all. today i did run my calibration program and everyting seemed good, but after the first exchange of probes i reicive error message "TR_PRB01,no Probing within Probelimit !" to me it`s odd, because i did run the calibration program for a while…

  • Questions Regarding a 45° Fixed Probe

    Hello! Running PC-DMIS 2013 MR1 SP5 With a TP200 Tactile/Vision System -------------------------------------------- So I've got this probe here; a 45° on a knuckle (I believe is the term) It does not rotate, it's fixed at 45°. Well... I recently…

  • Probe calibration - Wrong parameter

    Hi all, i've got an issue with probe calibration. If i want to start tip cal, pc dmis will write that the parameter is wrong. I tried to reset tips, create new tips, call backup, copy new PROBE.dat. The machine can normally measure, but i cannot start…

  • Optiv Hardware & 64-bit

    Hello! Running PC-DMIS 2013 MR1 SP5 on an Optiv Performance z443 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The short and sweet of it is: I want 64-bit Windows. The story is, I've got this Optiv…

  • Body axis scan question

    Hello everyone, I’m using body axis scan to create 3D lines then intersect the lines. One line horizontal and the other roughly vertical. My concern is the lines are not where I expect they would be. For example I set a body axis scan for Z-6.000…

  • Calibration sphere missing with new update.

    We recently switched from 2013 PC-DMIS TO 2017 R1 and have lost the calibration sphere data. I'm just an operator and have no idea where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction or at least tell me what we have. Thanks, Attached…

  • probe Re Qualification

    I am trying to qualify 3 different probes 1. 2 mm diameter probe 20mm long 2. 1mm diameter star probe on a 20mm extension 3. 5mm diameter probe on a 50mm extension I calibrate the first probe A0B0 saying the sphere has moved then no to the other…

  • Probe Calibration Parameters

    I have searched the forum extensively on this topic and found a lot of good information but I am still not completely satisfied. I use TP20's with a wide variety of tip configurations at multiple index angles. I have gathered that different probe…

  • Stable Probe function ?

    Dear guys, I've been trying to find "Stable Probe" function, as mentioned in forum The arm that I am using is RA-7330 If you look inside your "portable" tool bar there should be an icon for stable probing. You can also find it underneath…

  • Mixing probe module brands?

    Hey guys, I'm going to say sorry ahead of time for this question. I have been left with a CMM and no programmer. I was taught basic operating procedure but nothing else. I have a probe module that has gone out and have a simple question about probe…

  • 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…

  • Probe Config Question.

    Hi, Can someone please look at the probe config I have attached and tell me if it is ok for what it is. Does the CONVERT_TO_M2THRD make this probe config too long for a SM25-1 and SH25-1 config? Thanks! Cian Attached Files

  • Keep probe visible in display at all times?

    Is there a way to keep the probe visible in the Graphics Window Display at all times? Failing that, how about making it visible at a given line of code in the program? I searched on here for a solution, but all I came up with was do a Ctrl + E to execute…

  • Probe Calibration issue.

    Hi, I have a Probe Calibration Issue. When I try to Calibrate the probe it is as if it is forgetting where the sphere is and the Scans within the calibration aren't touching the sphere itself. They are missing the sphere on one side and then hitting…

  • Custom Probe Builder Utility

    I have scoured every thread on the forum about custom probes and how to build/save them. I recently purchased 1MM and 1.5MM x 21MM probes. My drop down list has, for the most part, tips in increments of 10mm. It seems possible that I can calibrate to…
