I am trying to run a program supplied by our customer - running in v3.7 MR3.
The part is approximately a 4"dia x 6" high plastic fuel pump reservoir, which requires several 100mm+ long tips. With the longest tip, I drove the probe around the part, at the various angles - so there is plenty of room around the part. Even though I placed the part in the center of the surface plate, I got a "Machine Parameter Out of Tolerance" error.
At the stopping point, the Probe Readout window shows X: 200 something, Y: -180 something, Z: 300 something, whereas the stopping feature has THEO TARGETS of around X:20, Y: 10 Z: 10. This feature is very early in the program - before the first alignment.
I think the zero point of the CMM the program was written on is different from the zero point of my CMM. However, I am not sure what I can do to run the program on my CMM.
Any ideas?
