Gestione PTMEAS durante la Misura

When using an I++ Server that supports the 5-axes measurement, it is possible to program the type of PTMEAS during the measure choosing different measurement mode from the Quick Programmer panel.

CMM Touch

Selecting the "CMM TOUCH" mode, which is represented by the "C" icon, the points are measured as a traditional 3-axes machine.

The produced command, according to the standard DMIS, is the following:

Head Touch

Selecting the "HEAD TOUCH" mode, which is represented by the "H" icon, the points are measured by moving only the motorized head and maintaining in fixed position the CMM. If the target point cannot be reached from the head, the user receives an error.

The produced command, according to the standard DMIS, is the following:

All Axes Touch

Selecting the “ALL AXES TOUCH” mode, which is represented by the “A” icon, the points are measured moving both the motorized head that the CMM axes. This function allows the definition of two subtypes of measurement:

• ALL AXES Touch + None: it is the 5 Axes standard mode of the control in use, the 5 axes interpolation of the movement is determined by the controller, based on the best path.

This can perform a series of non predictable movements because, on the basis of the initial and final position, the path is autonomously decided "run time" from the controller. The produced command, according to the standard DMIS, is the following:

• ALL AXES Touch + HEADCS: it is the 5 Axes mode in which the operator sets the angles with which the point is measured.

The angles of measurement are defined in absolute direction (HEAD CS).

The interpolation of the 5-axis movement is decided by the controller, on the basis of best path between the start and the end position, considering that the stylus must travel in a straight line.

The produced command, according to the standard DMIS, is the following:

• ALL AXES Touch + PCS: it is the 5 Axes mode in which the operator sets the angles with which the point is measured.

The angles of measurement are defined in PCS mode using Euler angles and the current system.

The interpolation of the 5-axis movement is decided by the controller, on the basis of best path between the start and the end position, considering that the stylus must travel in a straight line.

The produced command, according to the standard DMIS, is the following:
