To all:
I am using version 4.0 and I am having issues. I am using a DEA GAMMA machine. We just recently had the machine serviced and all was well with the results after the tech left our facility. He did mention that the PH9 was going out. He said that due to an error light being lit on the controll unit while the machine was being used. He said that the error light shouldn't be lit. I am aware that they don't support this head anymore as well. So I am forced to either get a refurbished one or upgrade my PH unit.
The issue that I am having is after I do my alignment( plane, 2 lines, construct a point), my DCC alignment points are off. I have checked the code and everything is correct. I have also had the code verified by another cmm operator at another facility.
I am taking the points for my DCC plane in the same area as my manual plane. The points are shifting in the X plus axis approximately 5 mm. I typically cut everything off before I leave. On yesterday, the points were shifting in the X minus axis approximately 8 mm. I programmed the part fine on Monday and ran another before I left with no issues. On Tuesday when I returned the points shifted in the X minus. I redid the program and ran another part afterwards fine. I cut my computer off, but left the controll unit on. When I arrived this morning, the points shifted in the X plus direction.
Any suggestions and/or reccommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Does any of you feel that the PH9 may be the issue??
thanks
