Importation en masse des fichiers .TSP

Fabien 5 years ago in Metrology Software / TubeShaper updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

Il faudrait pouvoir importer en masse des fichiers .TSP

Lors de modification des paramètres et pour qu'ils s'appliquent à tout les fichiers existant, nous les copions et les réimportons ( + de 10000 fichiers).

L'importation en masse sur des fichiers .gtt est pourtant réalisable.


Cordialement

multiple constructions using same input features

Bill Kulpa 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 1

Our engineers always want 3 circle algorithms, Least Squares, Max Inscribed, Min Circumscribed. I'd like to be able to choose all 3 of these at one time, using the same set of input scans. Maybe change the selection option from a drop down list to radio buttons enabling multiple circle creations in on step.

Promt operator BEFORE changing tip angles within program

Alan_C 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 5

I program offline for different machines and all of the machines do not have the same probe head, so the tip rotation angles are not the same. When an operotor mistakenly opens a program on the machine that is equiped with the PROBEPH10M probe head instead of the HH-AS8-T2.5, PC-DMIS automatically switches the tip angles that are available while using the PH10M. This is a problem because even if they don't run the program, simply closing the program will save the new tip angles. File, Quit will not save it but sometimes it doesn't go down like that.

Deeper automated feature naming convention

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

When programming offline I would like the naming conventions to more customizable. Example...If I select to measure a diameter that is .750 then I would like PC-DMIS to automatically assign that circle to be named CIR_750_1 and the next time (whenever that may be) a circle is selected with that same nominal diameter it would come up as CIR_750_2. Since I try to program with the least amount of movements in between features (path optimization) I don't always measure all of the Ø.750's at once. Just an example...Usually I would measure the Ø.750, then the Ø.129, then the second Ø.750. So I would like PC-DMIS to automatically assign (with the help of ID Setup)  the circles as CIR_750_1, CIR_129_1 and then CIR_750_2. Hope this makes sense...

cad model transparent

Selahattin Akkaya 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by ALBERT706 4 years ago 4

Hi guys

it would be nice to be able to make certain regions transparent.  For example: fixture model transparent, workpiece visible

have a nice day

Add a simple PASS or FAIL Inspection Summary At The End of the Report to indicate if a part is non-conforming

david carter 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 1

In a lot of instances an operator or Inspector wants a simple classification if a part is either good or Bad. Currently we can add the code to test for any out of tolerance features and display a report label programatically but this can be complex to a user. In most cases they wish to know of the part is any good or not, by having a PASS/FAIL label the inspector / operator does not have to review the report in all its detail. For Example

Graceful default handling of Find Hole Failure

Kingsld1 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

Would like to see a graceful default way to handle Find Hole failures.  

For example the operator puts the probe in the approximate middle of the feature and lets PC DMIS try again and/or quick minimal manual feature measurement to temporarily reset the theoriticals. Probably would have to have a surface touch as part of the solution in case the surface isn't quite where it's expected.

Find Hole search area in the Auto Features Dialog

Kingsld1 5 years ago in Metrology Software / PC-DMIS updated by neil kay 5 years ago 0

Add another parameter to appropriate Auto Features that sets the size of the Find Hole search area.  I know it can be done other ways but having your commonly used tools right at hand makes for a good work flow.

Motorized probe magazine

Bill Kulpa 5 years ago in Hardware / Coordinate Measuring Machines updated by ALBERT706 4 years ago 4

Develop a motorized probe magazine much like every machining center has.

That way it could be mounted in the dead space at the end of the Y axis of most machines.

When a probe change is needed PC-DMIS would move the machine to a predetermined point for that port, the port would extend to the Z rail and unload or load a new probe. This would allow better use of the measuring envelop and enable use of that dead space at the end of the machine.
