Need another set of eyes to look at program alignment
Ok Ok this is quite humbling but If someone here has sometime could you please look this alignment over and see if you see something wrong. Having problems correlating at the customer.
I do have prehits on the circles. The program goes on to run a bunch of holes that for whatever reason some repeat and some don't. I guess my thought was that if something was tweaked it would be in the alignment..
After just briefly glancing over the program I noticed that your iterative alignment is done with one tool, while the rest of your part is measured with another tool. Are you sure that both tools are calibrated properly (related to each other), by not saying the qualification sphere has moved during the calibration of the second tool?

Are you and your customer using the same or similar program, technique, probes, etc....What about redo the manual irriative alignment in DCC before the actuacl alignment and program.... Clamping pressure or fixturing differences???????????? Just some ideas. Good luck.
I would have to agree with BSchwark. Start by making sure that both you and the customer have looked at the issue with the same set of eyes. I have done that many times. Sometimes it was me sometimes it was the customers methodology. Just briefly looking at you .doc, it looks ok.
Obey the Emporer....er....Pope.......er.......Emporer. Whoever. I have had to set customers (and suppliers as well) straight on vision system and CMM application/programming. In some cases (doesn't sound like yours though) it boiled down to drawing interpretation diferences. What kind of dialogue have you had with the customer, again what are the diferences? When you say does not repeat do you mean reproduce between you and the customer or do you mean it does not repeate when run repeatedly by you on the same machine/same .prg?

Actually, you have the same tool loaded twice. Why?
In alignment A2 you do not need the rotate to line1.
Is your customer measureing 47 hits for their plane?
What probe diameter is tool2a?
Is this part flexible?
Is the part square to the table? You have a depth of 12 on your datums.
Somebody out there know when programming a part and get an alignment and in the middle of program flip part over and coninue were left off from original...
After manual alignment, my program is 180 deg. out. I used 2 c'bore holes at 9:00 & 3:00 to construct a line, then rotated to x+. Then went toDccAuto...
Ok - I've been running this program several times. then I don't use it for a while. Now today I set it up in the same locations, perform my manual alignment,...
