Guru allert! Please help settle our conflict...
Is it better, worst or the same to use a Constructed Line or a Cylinder?
Some of us measure bores as Cylinders. We use them to level, check concentricity, datum alignment, etc...
Some of us measure 3 or 4 circles down the lenght of a bore then construct a line using these circles. We use them to level, check concentricity, datum alignment, etc...
Some say that if we measure a bore as a cylinder, we cannot see if it is tapered (big on the top, small on the bottom) or if it is bell mouth at any point. The circles will tell us this information.
Some say that only a cylinder is good for checking concentricity, runout or using as a datum alignment as the axis of a cylinder is better than a constucted line.
So, you see, there is controversy and I look to the gurus of PD-DMIS user forum for input.
Thank you so much.
