  • Sending Textual Analysis of Profile of a Section Scan to Stats AND/OR Excel Form Report

    Is there a way to get the "Report textual analysis" option for profiles to export to an excel sheet / stats file? Most of my prints use multiple profiles, and we realized in our SPC system that the profile data is basically processed as pass/fail…

  • Surface Profile Callout Differences Between Individual and Combined Scans in PC-DMIS

    I’ve been working with PC-DMIS and noticed discrepancies when analyzing surface profile callouts on grouped scanned data. Here’s what I’m observing, and I’d like to confirm if my understanding of the underlying calculations is correct. Observations…

  • 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 ​

  • Feature Set Profile Calculation

    I have a scan that is made up of six segments. Each individual segment is within a profile tolerance, but when I create a feature set of the six, the min value is out. How is the calculation different when it is a set? I figured it would just take the…

  • 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),…

  • Legacy dimension - profile of a surface

    First of all, I am aware this topic has been covered, but my google-fu failed to find a solution for my current conundrum. All that follows is relative to PC-DMIS 2012 Part setup: Datum A: Cylinder along Z, locking X, Y and two rotational…

  • PC-DMIS 2020R2 – Profile ISO 1101

    Hi Rob Jensen & neil.challinor I would like to ask you about your opinion about this issue. We often have profile callouts similar to this |ꓵ|0.1 UZ -0.1| on our customer drawings, where both tolerance “borders” are on one side of the nominal…

  • How to place points exactly on center line

    I am trying to Probe a line right down the center of my part where the hits come in from the appropriate angles. I could make it from individual points or a line, but I don't have scanning capabilities. I have attached some pictures that should help you…

  • Radial seperation Value

    Hi All, As per the title, anyone heard about the term "Radial Separation Value" during a Sphere measurement? Thanks in Advance.

  • How to change Find_Noms Preference for SCANS

    I'm performing a Find_Noms Scan and while executing it, I got the good ol' error asking me to adjust my tolerance. I mistakenly told it to delete the hits that didnt meet the tolerance: How can I undo this? now whenever I run the feature it will delete…

  • calibration issue ?

    Hello all! I just really confused my self here. I heard someone last week saying the my CMM calibration ( Global Image) calibrates in Microns.? I always though it was on the tents. I'm inspecting parts that are .0004 tents on profile, I get results…

  • Help with profile

    Guru's - what would be the best method to check this profile? I could tell you what I did - but it's probably incorrect since I'm here asking for help. Also, do not have scan capability. Attached Files

  • Scanning Report

    I'm trying to create a scanning report that one of our engineers is looking for. I'm attaching a picture but what they want to see is an outline of the low tolerance of a profile, an outline of the max outline of a profile and an outline of where the…

  • understanding unequal tolerance reporting

    I have a profile with only a negative tolerance. How is my measured value positive, but the part is checking outtol=0. is the meas on the report an absolute value? I am exporting everything to measurlink and it is having trouble with the negative tolerance…

  • best analog scan

    I am struggling with this particular feature and i am not entirely sure why. I had it scanned 3 times by linear open scans then combined them in a constructed feature set. I dimensioned that as a profile of a surface, but it was not working properly as…

  • legacy profile

    Is anyone here familiar enough with legacy profile to explain the difference between form only and form and location? I think that form and location locks to the origin, but i am not sure how the form only works. I have a customer who wants to use legacy…

  • Xactmeasure questions concerning Profile.

    I have been tasked with explaining some items concerning a program I inherited concerning Xactmeasure Profile. I have a two part question. Attached is a pic of the profile dimension results and the D datum results. First, the call out is |Profile|0.010…

  • Saturday morning GD&T --- Surface profile of a diameter (cast cylinder)

    Morning all, Saturday morning, New customer, and PPAP being setup to run for next week, and one GD & T callout that leaves me scratching my head! The attached drawing shows the 40.8 Ø (+ draft (3° per notes is draft)) on a cast OD with a profile…

  • 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…

  • Help inspecting profiles with screwy datum

    I have been given a part to inspect with the model. It has a surface profile w/in .0005, but I don't see how these datums really make sense. At first read I thought that -A- was the center hole, which would make -C- redundant. The engineer told me…

  • Im a Demis Newbie, Im really good at C@!^pso, what should i know......

    Ok so I followed a former boss to a new shop, he needed a programmer, but the problem is that this new shop has a whole host of B&S PC Demis CMM's, and I have all my years of experience in Zeiss Calypso. As far as I’m concerned the difference couldn…

  • Dwell before each hit taken?

    I noticed that sometimes when taking points along the contour of a part, I can see the readout showing good vector numbers while I scan, but after I make a point group and then try to make a profile dimension for the report, shows the numbers all over…

  • Government and Boss wants answers

    Haven't posted since I have become a member, mainly because I always seem to find my answer on older post. All except this one. My cmm wont give me a correct measurement. Its a poor musician who blames his instrument, I know, but follow me here. When…

  • "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…

    Recently I am installed 2010 MR2 version and I have a problem, more or less, with all GD&T dimensions, (Position, Circularity, Flatness . . et.). Actualy when I click on any icons,( or insert-dimension), only Xact Measure GD&T dialog box appears. I can…
