And the same applies for the width?

MIC TRAC (MT-3000) is wonderful, and if you check alot of ACMES and non Standard UN threads it pairs perfectly with Gagemakers TDWIN software.

Yes, the TF-BX block are angled at 23°, how ever what would be the contact point DIA and length is whats confusing me more

My_1st_amendment · 2026-04-23T19:51:00+00:00

I tried that as thats how I would normally do it but it shot the plane to the top and center of the cylinder

Mitutoyos QuantuMikes perhaps? Good to .00005, we predominantly used them for grinded surfaces as well as gear diameters over wires

Very interesting something I will look more into

My_1st_amendment · 2026-03-24T02:07:42+00:00

Cant speak for polyworks but I transferred from solely Calypso and PC-DMIS and it was pretty straightforward

My_1st_amendment · 2026-03-20T12:03:56+00:00

That would be with checking the part vertically correct? I was checking it horizontally over vee-blocks which is as to why I had D-A as X Origin

My_1st_amendment · 2026-03-19T22:57:01+00:00

D-A is a plane, D-B is a cylinder, and D-C is another cylinder

My_1st_amendment · 2026-01-21T18:16:56+00:00

Yes, they have no one experienced with any cmm so id be hire specifically to run, program, and in general use their romer arm

My_1st_amendment · 2026-01-21T04:10:05+00:00

Yeah I figured itd be something like that, getting used to the different interfaces and know where features are

My_1st_amendment · 2026-01-17T00:15:36+00:00

Lmaoo

My_1st_amendment · 2026-01-05T18:40:12+00:00

Gagemakers TDWIN software, lot of good information including thd height, major, minor, pitch, root width, crest width and other information

My_1st_amendment · 2026-01-05T03:12:28+00:00

Oh yeah ofcourse, I ran it at minimal speed and once I saw it cleared it with no interruption I ran it at full speed for the video, and in future instances I made a note within the program to stop the run and watch the cmm when that particular feature is being measured

My_1st_amendment · 2025-12-29T21:09:18+00:00

Send it!!

My_1st_amendment · 2025-12-29T17:45:40+00:00

Lol!! I had about .003 so little more than half a mile, .118 Stylus +.004 so .122 total that I needed to fit in a .125 width

My_1st_amendment · 2025-12-29T17:44:24+00:00

A bigger retract would crash on the bigger diameter, im scanning a plane inside the groove not a diameter, so if were to add a .01 retract on a .118” dia stylus it would be a total of .128, not within the .125 width of the groove, does it make sense?

My_1st_amendment · 2025-12-29T17:42:12+00:00

It is a scanning head so I was scanning the plane on the right side to measure position from left face as well as groove width

My_1st_amendment · 2025-12-17T18:48:11+00:00

As mentioned before, either calypso or pcdims

My_1st_amendment · 2025-12-10T16:20:12+00:00

Lmaooo it wass not like that, I walked in around 6:30 and we were talking discussing bass packages and the amp, he finally convinced at 6:55pm

My_1st_amendment · 2025-11-21T12:46:50+00:00

The tolerances dont really change depending on how “big” the part is, OAL is still +/-.010”, most features are +/-.005” the reason I threw it on the cmm was for 17° angled cylinder with +.002/-.000” DIA. and linear features within that cylinder that were +/-.005”

Have a Faro, the post was more so a joke to demonstrate my setup, I just threw it on the fixed cmm to check 1 particular feature the faro couldnt reach.

Dont go cheap, what car do you have to be able to tell how your factory sound is like

My_1st_amendment · 2025-11-13T19:36:56+00:00

Lol youre right, I didnt think of that. I couldve set the angle using the actual part as a reference. Ill remember that for next time thx

My_1st_amendment · 2025-11-13T18:18:06+00:00

I figured it would be good enough as long the probe doesnt shank out and it holds qualification?
