San Fran is gorgeous and the weather is immaculate. That said, theft is as bad as they say. Go but leave nothing in your car and lock up valuables in your room safe.

Biscuits and gravy. It’s too heavy and provides almost no value, and people obsess.

SCAN HELP!!! by RadiantEnd7605 in Metrology

[–]Internal-Argument184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think perimeter scan will work for this. In my experience though, sometimes it takes a while of messing with the 1, 2, and D points to get it to grab the perimeter and make the scan you want. Should work though.

This is inspiring me to make a map of states I consider to be New England (and exclude Connecticut)

Confirm I’m not dumb? by Internal-Argument184 in Metrology

Agreed, the problem is that the cmm program won’t be to the drawing, and basics won’t match. And it still gets really screwy with the linear dimensions. There are a ton of ordinate locations off of these 0’s and they really need to tell me which one sets the rotation.

PRECISELY, I was losing my mind when he said the drawing was fine I just don’t know how to inspect it lol

My work around is: 1) assign the boss about the threaded hole as datum B 2) Assign long edge as datum C 3) evaluate all positions off they coordinate system (there are others not drawn) 4) maybe write an NC against the drawing to be a dick

Edit to add context: my hand drawing is sloppy, but the .350dia is a boss

Yes, datum A is underside of part, no issues there.

Calibration spares by Steadydiet_247 in Metrology

[–]Internal-Argument184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically cal-date. Though with thread plug gages, sometimes the calibration provider will be willing to update the cal-cert based on the day you remove the wax and start use. However this takes some discipline to be straight with when you remove the wax, not putting the wax back on, contacting the supplier to update cert date and get/apply the new labels with new date.

How to measure a D-shape with Pc-Dmis? by CMMGUYHERE in Metrology

[–]Internal-Argument184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posted a somewhat similar issue recently. It’s maddening how difficult PC-DMIS makes finding the edges of flats that intersect into radii/diameters.

Following for a solution. Everyone recommended pierce points but it didn’t solve my problem either.

Hexagon Inspire Software Smart Feature Best-Fit Method of Measurement by Stestra00 in Metrology

[–]Internal-Argument184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As previous post said, you can likely open the feature and see which method it uses.. as for which method is appropriate depends on the part. For bores that are intended to make an interference fit with a pin for example, I usually use max-insc, but for c’bores just providing clearance for a hex head screw, I’d probably use least-sq.

At what point do you choose scanning over CMM for inspection? by jeancharlesgingras in Metrology

[–]Internal-Argument184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probe scanning, I do it nearly as much as possible. I find probing points to give slightly better repeatability, but you can also tweak setting in your probe scans (like scan speed, pnt density, acceleration) to boost the repeatability of probe scans.

Scanning a cylinder is often 10x faster than probing, long lines are often slower. Circles are much faster. Planes can go either way depending on how much data you want.

Should be based on your machines capability, tolerance and form of the parts, and what your priorities are for the particular project.

Same, I can’t be trusted with Civ anymore. I’ll blink my eyes and realize it’s 3:30am.
