PROBE CALIBRATION

Sergio 7 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS • updated by neil kay 7 years ago • 9


Add a key in the calibration area where you can save and import a list of angles because every time you create a probe you have to start from zero.

Jog Box

John Demaray 8 years ago in Metrology Hardware / Coordinate Measuring Machines • updated by sarchibald 1 year ago • 4

CMMs need the option to have wireless jog boxes. I trip over the cord all the time and wheel over it with my chair.

Allow tolerance warning threshold to be configured

neil kay 8 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect • updated by Neil KAY (Hexagon) 5 months ago • 3

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 10 years ago in Metrology Software / Inspect • updated by neil kay 7 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 10 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS • updated by Neil Challinor 4 months ago • 5

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.

Please take a look at the Package Measurement Routine functionality in PC-DMIS 2026.1.

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

Jon Wood (NinjaBadger) 10 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS • updated by neil kay 7 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 10 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS • updated by Neil Challinor 3 months ago • 2

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.

Save the PC-DMIS version/SP/Schema so that we can identify what version of PC-DMIS is needed to open this file.

Matt Beecher 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS • updated by Neil Challinor 1 year ago • 2

Can we get some way to record what version/schema of PC-DMIS is required to open a particular PC-DMIS file?  With the rolling cutoff and some users having a mix of schema for their routines, I fear difficulties with using the migration utilities in the future.

Add UPR as smart parameter in the measurement strategy editor

Stan Deenen 2 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS • 0

As more and more customers are asking us to scan (with a probe) all features, they also got their standards for using the filters in scanning. In those standards, they also ask for a specific UPR which relates to the current diameter. For example, Ø8 and smaller require a UPR setting of 15. Ø8-Ø25 require UPR 50 etc.

I'd like to add this as a smart parameter in the Measurement Strategy Editor to make sure we also use the correct settings.
