I had the same problem, and after reading about it somewhere else online I found that going to isometric view will stop the stuttering until the part is closed and opened again. Its easy to get around and hopefully will be fixed.
I am fairly certain the person working on it right now has checked that grounding strap, but I could be wrong. I just found out that there have been more discharge problems than just the positional feedback. The head has been shocking operators when they go to change probes unless they ground...
It may be possible to mount a grounded needle immediately by the sensor that does not contact the beam or foil. Ill give that a try. It sounds like that ion cord stuff that compositepro is suggesting is essentially a more hardcore version of the grounded needle, what with the millions of tiny...
Apparently this has been a problem on this machine for a long time. The company temporarily fixed it by rubbing some of the gold off of the scale strip to get to the copper underneath, and attached a copper strip to the scale with some rubber tape. In the past, the problem has reoccurred and the...
So I talked to my co-workers and the other companies problem was not causing sparking like ours was. We are calling a company whom we have ties with to borrow a field strength meter. What sort of readings should I look for on this machine?
The machine is a Zeiss CMM machine. We have contacted the tech, and his advice was to replace a piece of the wiring harness, in case it was faulty. It appears as if only one other person has had a problem "similar," and their problem was caused by this harness. I am really unsure of how similar...
Once the slide has traversed the bar a few times (varies in position and duration) a spark will jump from the bar to the position feedback sensor, which causes the safety to trip and immobilizes the machine for a few minutes until it can have the drivers reset. Anything that would interfere with...
Ive looked into the air systems, and the head is actually supported by air bearings at the moment. Is it possible that the air being supplied by the bearings is causing the build up by transferring ions to the ceramic beam, or does moving air solely dissipate static?
Also, is there any way to...
I work for a company that is into CMM, and we are having a static build up problem. We have a large measuring head that floats on a ceramic beam via air bearings. It is driven by a small rubber wheel which contacts the surface. Static builds up on the Ceramic beam through some mechanism unknown...
Thanks for the advice guys. I got my hand on a supplementary drawing with those points dimensioned and added them myself. My supervisor was gone that day and I did not know that it existed.
Well, the tooling points are defined only in the catia model, according to the drawing. Otherwise I would have just added them myself.
In regards to the parasolid format, solidworks help told me it would not import point data from a x_t file. The origonal model was a Catia file, but they did not...
Well, thanks for the quick response. The solidworks help file informs me I cannot import point data from parasolids. I would hope that the model they sent us contains these tooling points.
Am I going to have to ask my manager to ask our contact for a different format, or is there another...
Im designing a fixture for a part that came as a Catia file.
I imported it into solidworks, but can't find the tooling points on the model. I can see them on the drawing, so I know they are in the Catia file, but did I lose them going to solidworks?
