Hi professor, kindly asking if you can share your software coz I’m a self learner. They’re not provided completed software when I’m downloaded . Thank you
Those are pretty thin, compared to what I'm used to. I don't like any flex whatsoever, as I use it mostly for a reliably straight and sturdy line. I'll place it against my part inside the machine when I need to touch off a backward facing tool in order to find the zero. It's also useful when I need to center a tool, as I can place it against a flat on my tool holder and make sure it looks parallel with the center of the machine. That way, I have a lot less work to do when I dial it in. I've never used a steel rule to measure things, but I have a couple of them for straight line conveniences. I use a Mitutoyo and a Shinwa steel rule. These are the two most accurate and sturdiest steel rules from Japan.
What I’m gods name is this guy doing?! Please get him away from the CMM because he doesn’t really understand what he’s doing! Obviously if he did his first alignment physically on the part it wouldn’t magically “match-up” on the CAD model; how would the machine know where the part is, there is no link from what he first did! There is nothing wrong with making a program without CAD so it don’t understand what he’s talking about 🙄 He is doing things so ass-backwards and don’t get me started on him not setting a clearance plane and just letting the probe crash into the part.
Hold on, are you seriously just writing programs where your probe just collides with the part?! You don’t need to use a clearance cube (which by the way can be turned off; it’s not “on” forever) or insert move points after every feature. All you need to do is set a clearance plane! That’s why your collision list is as long as a CVS receipt 🤣🤣🤣 After my alignment that’s the first thing I do before I switch to DCC and if I change the angle. Whoever taught you how to program is an idiot and if you learned it on your own you need to get some training. What you’re doing is just jacking up your instruments and a waste of time. Im shocked that you actually made a “how to video” and I wish I could see the rest of your code to see what other nonsense you have going on here.
Good demonstration. I used to work for a company that use Mitutoyo Crysta Apex 7106 (2015), Metrology. PCDMIS is a 2012 CMM, Manual Measurement. Mitutoyo Crysta APEX 7106 is an Auto Measurement, AND Manual. The Smallest Probe They Had Is .010, ten thous of an inch. Auto Meas, means somebody has to write a program.
Im having a problem with the machine losing its place between manual alignment and auto mode. For some reason it wants to travel 111.3 inches to find the part i just aligned.
Hocam merhaba size bir sorum olacak yardımcı olursanaız sevinirim, Teknik resimde 5 ayrı datum var A,B,C,D,E ben şimdi CMM de 3-2-1 yani aligment nasıl yapacağım? Datum A dan düzlem,B den çizgi,C den nokta veya çap mı yada bu 5 datum dan istediklerimi kullanabllirmiyim
Always best to do your manual alignment directly off or the same as the DCC datum structure alignment. Using other features will always have or add more deviation. So do both alignments off the same exact features. Always.
This video is very useful to me. This system is a little different from the one I used in Taiwan. I have more than two years of CMM experience, but I am currently learning English. This video can help me learn some CMM vocabulary. I hope that here in the United States, I can return to this job. And this is also my interest.
Hi Mister @Leslie Sinnock. The company who i work, have a Hexagon CMM Machine and i'm a biginner working with the Machine. Can you make a video to explain how to make a alignment with CAD=Part
I don't know why you wouldn't just level Z to datum cylinder A and then origin XY to it? By levelling to datum A you would constrain x & y rotation leaving just Z rotational and Z origin. This could then be completed by creating a Z origin on the top plane and then take a point at say the 6 o clock position, construct a 2D line from the cylinder axis to that point and then rotate your alignment to that line to constrain the Z rotational.
I'm new to pc-dmis. What am I doing wrong when my program says to pic 1 of 3 points, I then go to the machine and the probe will not beep. I will let me smash the probe if I keep going. I've watched your video 50 times, I am doing everything the way you say to. I know its something simple but I have nobody to ask. Thanks
turn off the computer and the cmm. turn on the cmm and wait until the light on the jogbox stops flashing. then turn on the computer. start pc-dmis then follow the prompts. the hits should now register.
The machine shop I work in has one of these. It's been sitting in a box for 4 years basically brand new. I'm on day 2 of tinkering with it. Nowhere near making programs. I'm using the quick dimension feature from the software used to calibrate the probe to get a feel for how to use it to measure and I'm getting variations up to .001 in. Any suggestions on how to make my readings more repeatable?
It's all about how consistently you probe the object. Try to probe objects straight up and down or at exactly 90 deg to your objects. There is a need for good technique.
very helpful, thanks. I just found a used gauge, looks exactly the same as you have. The indicator holder was not present....can you think of any reason not to just take a piece of steel and make one end rectangular to attach to the gauge and drill a hole in the other end + probably a grub screw to hold the dial indicator?
That'd work fine. I'm partial to the split ring type swivel clamps shown here because they won't mar the indicator. But I'm anal about marking up my tools. The holding bars and swivel clamps are sold separately as accessories, if you want to go that route. Probably some cheap ones from China and India on ebay.
@@Sammus7t thanks for the reply and tip about what they're called. It was oddly difficult to find them on Aliexpress but I did manage to find one, www.aliexpress.com/item/4000029584176.html.
Hello, I'm trying to use a READPOINT to locate my part and then have the DCC take over and do a 6 point per Plane pickup for making sure all Planes are good. A well known "teaching" company has a video on READPOINT's on RU-vid, but they don't execute the code with an alignment and frankly the video is almost useless to me without showing the process the whole way through. You seem to have a firm grasp on this software, can you do a video showing this? I know it is a lot to ask, but it would be greatly appreciated.
