Programming question...

[arock]

The theo. dims match the actual part by a thou. or two.... But when the CMM runs DCC mode it goes to a different position....but if it were to go to the theo. dims it would probe it right...
The actuals are comming out .046 off theo. which is making it probe not even on center.

Please post your code from the beginning of the program (manual alignment) through the problem feature. Lots of possibilities but my money is on the alignment!

The machine does not go to the theo. dims that are listed. The theo dims are right where they need to be but the probe goes to other dims resulting in probing outside of the hole or off center.

Such as this... I manually measure the .118 and it measures at .120 but the centerline of the probe is going to roughly .0465 off center of where it should be.
It seems to always be when looking at the given plane off in the horzontal plane.
There is two datum on either side of the part and it measures it off equally in opposite directions
so datum on side one would be off + and the other -.

[JEFMAN]

You measure with a 1mm ball, the defect is 1.2 mm... Could it be a calibration defect ?
Move speed of 900, and 0.1 prehit, is it usual for you ?

[arock]

We switched to a tp20 probe recently... The machine was just calibrated yesterday as well as the wrist was replaced and tips re calibrated.... but this was doing the same thing before

[arock]

Where did you see the defect 1.2mm.... that is exactly the measurement that it is off. What is that exactly??

[JEFMAN]

Just in your post #6.... No kind of magic here !

[arock]

well I know what the numbers are. I just need help determining why the probe is going where it shouldnt be.

[arock]

What is the recommended move and touch speed of a SF tp20?

[DAN_M]

arock

Movespeed: Depends on your controller. I always go 90% of my max speed. MOVESPEED/300*0.9 and MOVESPEED/250*0.9 are what I use for my machines.

Touchspeed: Also depends on your controller and parts that you're measuring...but all of my TP20s are set at 1.5 for star probing and between 2-5 for the others. I do testing and have selected the parameters that yield the lowest stddev for each probe build I have.

[JEFMAN]

It seems that you have a bigger problem here along Y

I would check the wrist, the stability of the part on the granite, and the probe.
If the calibration sphere didn't moved, you can :
ASSIGN/V1=QUALTOOLDATA("xyz","here the name of the sphere")
ASSIGN/V2=QUALTOOLDATA("diam","here the name of the sphere")
Create a generic sphere with V1.XYZ and V2 as diameter, origin on it, and without recalibratinfg tips, measure it as a autosphere with 5 hits / 2 levels, with each angle tip.
