I am looking for some help on how to create and run using an external alignment, I have tried once before with what can only be described as disastrous effects. Basically I trashed a probe and was lucky it ended with just that.
It looks as though we are going to have to use the CMM to measure production parts as well as handing over the controls to the finely educated shop floor people. Many of you have experience in this and know the consequences especially if they have access to the program and use the controls too much so I am trying to mitigate this problem with operator mode and an external alignment.
So I have a program that we use to measure the part already, it has manual alignment and a DCC iterative alignment.
I have many questions that follow and hopefully you can answer some of them.
1. using an external alignment can I do away with both the manual and DCC alignments or is it still best to leave the DCC in as well?
2. do you leave the alignment in there still just in case you need it or do you delete the unneeded alignments?
3. Do I run the manual alignment only (no program) and then go into insert > alignment > Save or are there more steps or different steps required?
4. again refers back to if I delete the other alignments. When I recall the alignment how do you guys do this, do you have an option to recall the alignment or just block the other alignments and just have the recall one in there?
I am sure there are other steps I need but cant think at the moment what
thanks for an help
