How to Use the Virtual Sphere Procedure on Zeiss Calypso
When calibrating a stylus tip in Calypso software it is recommended that you use Dynamic Tensor calibration at least in the initial calibration. This allows Calypso to gather the “bend data” of each individual stylus. Tensor or Geometric calibration may be used for recalibration purposes.
When using Dynamic Tensor calibration is not uncommon to receive this type of error.
Alignment with Offset Plane
The offset plane can be used in an alignment construction. A good example of an offset plane is cast datum points, where they are rarely on the same plane.
Flatness - GD&T and Calypso Rev 3 Book
Flatness (form tolerance): the tolerance zone is limited by two parallel planes a distance t apart.
Implies: Straightness of the surface or Straightness of the derived median line
Calypso - Blind Hole Depth
This is an excerpt from the Calypso Handbook
To measure the depth of a blind hole we must calculate the depth by using this process.
Calypso - Point Recall with Loop
This will create a wall thickness 360° around the part top and bottom 8 points each.
Program
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.
Calypso - Condition Based on Confirm Statement
What to expect. Yes, (it does exist) the CMM will measure the 35 Deg Bore. No, (does not exist) it will skip the 35 Deg Bore and move to the .875 diameter.
