3d-position and parallelity of cylinder

[Philipp]

Dear all,

I need some advice for my program. I got it from someone else and I just learned some basic things about this...
1) Parallelity:
I want to know the parallelity of a cylinder. I measure two circles at two different heights of the cylinder. Right now I run the following code

DECL/LOCAL,INTGR,PointsZ3
PointsZ3=Value/FA(circle_2.9),PTDATA
DECL/LOCAL,INTGR,PointsZ7
PointsZ7=Value/FA(circle_7),PTDATA
F(Cylinder1)=FEAT/CYLNDR,OUTER,CART,-5,-2.486,6.544,-1,0,0,8
CONST/CYLNDR,F(Cylinder1),BF,FA(circle_2.9)[5,PointsZ3-5],FA(circle_7)[5,PointsZ7-5]

DATDEF/FA(Cylinder1), DAT(D)
T(2)=TOL/PARLEL,0.2,RFS,DAT(D),RFS
OUTPUT/FA(Cylinder1),TA(1)

How can I set the actual length of the cylinder that is created? For compuation of command "PARLEL" the length is needed, but I can't find a way to change the result. I tryed to change it by an additional number at the end of the "FEAT/CYLNDR" line, but i doesn't change the result I get at all.

2) The same for the position of the cylinder. I run

T(3)=TOL/POS,3D,0.1,RFS,DAT(D),RFS,DAT(B),RFS,DAT(C),RFS
OUTPUT/FA(Zapfen_Bezug_D),TA(1)

but also for computation of position, one needs the length of the cylinder.

Thanks for any help!
Philipp.

What software are you using ?

[Jim Poehler]

I believe it is likely Modus

Jim Poehler : you're right !

I use an "Equator" from Renishaw. Unfortunately, I don't know more details (i.e. Software version...).

Philipp This forum is for PC-DMIS, not Modus. We can try to help, but not sure how many here are familiar with Modus. There is another forum available that you can post on that would be more beneficial for you. Try going to: *** **** dot com

From my research, the equator isn't a CMM. It's a glorified bore mic. So I'm not sure if the equator would even be able to do this.
