  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Cannot select probe for calibration

    Hello all . . . so off the bat I understand the version we're running is quite old. PCDMIS 2001 to be precise. I'm having an issue calibration any probe file. For whatever reason the software doesn't recognize the selected config to be calibrated. I've…

  • HELP!! to install a new probe head

    We just purchased a new Tesa Star HH-MI-M Manual indexing head for our Sheffield CMM. It didn't come with any installation instructions. I am sure I could figure it out but don't want to damage anything in the process seeing that I have never done it…

  • "Uknown" Probe

    I have a customer's program in which the only change we've made, I suppose, is a "probe change." Just in that our probes we're obviously titled differently. I made a change to an auto-feature of a cylinder (the nominal depth of our number levels)…

  • Upside-down Alignment

    Hey guys. I'm trying to do an iterative alignment on a fixture but I'm hitting a speed bump and I'm not sure whats causing it. The points for the manual alignment are identical to the automatic alignment and share all the same properties. The manual alignment…

  • Auto Trigger

    Hi, I programmed 20 points in that I need to check over 15pcs to do a capability study. I inserted an auto trigger command so I knew I would get the same point every time instead of just being close and eyeballing it. But my problem is, it seems to be…

  • 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…
