Create Straight Tube Project

trung van 7 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by anthony vianna 3 years ago 4

Crazy as it sounds, but we do have straight tubes that we measure too, some with flanges or fittings at the ends.  I know that there is the toolbox to measure a straight, but it is limited to just a straight.  Would like to be able to create and inspect a straight tube with or without flange profiles and check for the deviations.

Allow tolerance warning threshold to be configured

neil kay 7 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated 4 years ago 2

UK customer has requested a way in Inspect to specify a % of tolerance, and if dimensions are within tolerance, but above the % of tolerance, they would be marked in yellow on the dimension summary screen at the end of execution.

See CAD model inside Inspect Interface.

cdsuttles 8 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect updated by neil kay 5 years ago 11

Would like to be able to view the CAD model within the Inspect user interface while the program is executing. Similar to the current Operator mode functionality.

Remembering past measurements

Mitja Smrekar 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 4

Now PC-DMIS remembers only measurements made on the last part. A lot of time I need a complete data of part that was measured in past. It could be set to remember last xx measured parts. I know that Calypso has this feature.

DRF feature construction option(s) - relative to other features/datums

Jon Wood (NinjaBadger) 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 19 1 duplicate

Add options to construct Datum features in such a way that they reflect the standard.


Example - Datum A is a Plane, and Datum B is a cylinder bore nominally perpendicular to the plane.


As per both ISO and ASME standards, Datum B would be a Max Insc Cylinder Perpendicular to Dat A.


It's easy enough to construct a Max Insc cylinder, but this wouldn't be forced perpendicular to the plane, currently you'd have to measure it as a series of circles, then construct a Max Insc Circle in the correct workplane after levelling to Dat A.


See bottom image for example (image shows shaft not bore but principle is the same).

Like wise construct a datum plane from a measured plane relative to another feature (Top image)

Make it possible to re-enumerate feature numbers after program is written/edited.

hellcatrydr 8 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

Your program is finished but some points or features were added and their out of numerical order.

A Re-number feature would put them all in ascending order.

Ability to Assign a Dimension as Attribute

JIM 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

I would like the ability to create an attribute dimension, similar to a "Keyed In" dimension that has a non-numerical value of either "PASS" OR "FAIL" and the ability to pass that result to reports or Excel exports.  Currently, all defined dimensions are numerical.

Complete autocalibration routine

Hunter 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS 0

Autocalibration Currently does not remeasure failed tips. My suggestion is to implement a feature within the Autocalibration routine that allows it to remeasure the tips that failed the standard deviation. As well as adding a feature within the autocalibration code that allows you to select the calibration sphere when the qualtool has been moved only. This would be used for all autocalibration within that code as well but only selected at the beginning of the program to ensure correct vector and size are used. My expectation if this gets implemented is when i leave on Friday, i can start the autocalibration routine and come back on Monday with no tips that have been outside of the standard deviations.
