How to Create a VB Script Program to Better Locate Position of a Feature
The issue is, in our program if Circle1 is not in the correct location, due to machine targeting or various other reasons we will want to manually check the diameter of Circle1 and use this new location to check the diameter in CNC mode.
LK Metrology to exhibit new CMMs, advanced metrology software and CMM accessory products
LK Metrology will showcase a range of new products at the IMTS Show in Chicago, featuring five different Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs). Additionally, LK will demonstrate the latest version of their Camio software for measurement, programming simulation, analysis, and reporting.
How to Calculate Chord Length
A chord of a circle is a line segment with its endpoints on the circle. The diameter of a circle is a chord that intersects the center of the circle. A line that contains a chord of a circle is known as a secant of that circle. It is possible to calculate a chord's length when the circle's radius and the central angle of the chord are given. We can also calculate a chord's length when we know the circle's radius and distance of the chord to the center of the circle.
Form Datum - Calypso
What the Form Datum does is establish a FUNCTIONAL Datum Reference Frame coordinate system, similar to if you were setting up the primary, secondary, and tertiary datums on a functional checking gage. This is ONLY for a datum reference frame and does not modify how the base and secondary alignments evaluate their respective coordinate system. In the screen shot below, you can notice the different origin points are for a base alignment and datum reference frame.
Added MCOSMOS C1 v4 Manual
We have added a MCOSMOS C1 version 4 training manual to our products.
Understanding the 6 Degrees of Freedom
Understanding the principle of the 6 degrees of freedom is essential to aligning your part correctly on the Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). When a part is placed on the CMM the location of the part is not known. It must be defined by using several features known as datums.

Flexxbotics Integrates Hexagon Inspection Equipment
Flexxbotics, a supplier of workcell digitalization technologies for robot-driven manufacturing, has released FlexxCore, its advanced robotic machine tending in-line inspection connectivity compatible with Hexagon inspection equipment.
2-Day In-Person Public GD&T Training Event on July 9-10, 2024
This In-Person GD&T Fundamentals Public Training Course allows you to learn GD&T in 2-days - with a live in-person instructor, enabling you to complete training off site, without distractions from the office or home. In this course, we teach a simple framework for understanding how GD&T is used and why it improves the manufacturing process. Our GD&T Fundamentals course focuses on practical knowledge and uses real-world drawing examples throughout the class to practice what is learned.
AGILITY S 5-axis multi-sensor CMMs for the shop floor
Designed for shop floor environments
The S range of CMMs provides the ability to accurately measure parts in shop floor environments without temperature control. The rapid data capture speeds provided by 5-axis measurement reduce inspection cycle times, helping production departments keep pace with high volume manufacture. The systems work well in both stand-alone and fully automated production lines.
CMM Manager Handbook - Test If Part Is Loaded Correctly Using VB Script
We will write VB Script into the program that will measure an angled plane to verify if the part is seated in the fixture correctly before we execute the program.
Two ways to approach the programming:
Better Measurement Data Reporting to Improve GD&T Effectiveness
A great article from TEC-Ease
CMM Manager Handbook
CMM Quarterly has just released the CMM Manager Handbook. This is a reference book for the CMM Manager software.
If you want to take your CMM Manager programming to a new level this is the book for you. This is a book filled with information to take your CMM Manager programming to a new level. There are videos in this book and they are embedded in the book to assist with some of the topics.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STATED ACCURACY AND ACCREDITED ACCURACY
Digitalization is a priority for 87% of senior business leaders, according to Gartner. In manufacturing, however, digitalization presents both challenges and opportunities. Challenges include understanding how to select the most efficient and effective 3D metrology technology for each process throughout a product's lifecycle and integrating the data to achieve meaningful insight and analysis…
