    3d probing on machine

    Yes, for now it's just out of curiosity. Several times in my life I had to solve similar problems, and I did it without tricks - touching in the XY plane, constructing the true position of the ball in CAD and, as a consequence, the true position of the surface. It just took an awfully huge...

    3d probing on machine

    Oh, this is wonderful! If it's not a secret, how much did this program cost?

    3d probing on machine

    Why not? You can first take a rough measurement and then re-measure the part based on the first result. This will reduce the error to acceptable results.

    3d probing on machine

    I think usually the situation is a little different. We processed the part on the machine, and we know its shape quite accurately. But, in general, I somehow solved this funny problem using standard Reni cycles. It was necessary to measure the width of the wall of a part unfolded in the XY...

    Electronic Height Gage Temp. Stability

    In general, you may encounter two problems: - deviation of the real absolute temperature in your room from the standard temperature, which is usually assumed for accurate measurements - 68F. - temperature fluctuations of various components of the measurement process: Height Gage, part, some...

    3d probing on machine

    Yesterday I had a discussion with colleagues about probing 3D surfaces on milling machines. Obviously, when examining hard surfaces inclined in two planes relative to the base planes of the machine, difficulties arise. - the trajectory of the probe must be perpendicular to the surface at the...

    Blaser catalog

    Colleagues, has anyone somewhere ever seen a coolant catalog from the Blaser company? I periodically ask myself this question and can't find anything. There is no catalog or even a simple list of all brands of their coolant on their website. To hell with the complete list - I can’t find a single...

    Ongoing unrest in Russia

    Or to the border with Belarus, or to the Black Sea, or towards the Caucasus.

    Ongoing unrest in Russia

    This may seem incredible, but in “other countries” there are analogues of the FSB, which from time to time do something else besides torturing political opponents of the current government. The CIA predicted the attack on Ukraine to within a couple of months and predicted this attack to within a...

    Optical instrument for PCD insert's setting

    After we had some experience with the topic, I decided to write a short note. After several uses of the optical tube, we identified several problems: 1. The quality of the optical system is far from ideal. The light source is not collimated and is not aligned with the lens. All such problems...

    Renishaw OMP400 repair

    Above in this topic I presented the results of my experiments with replacing strain gauges with variable resistors. The resistance of the original strain gauges is about 4 kOhm. The system was operational when the resistance was reduced to 1 kOhm. p.s. It seems to me that with the price of a new...

    Renishaw OMP400 repair

    I finally had time to put this thing together. The retaining ring is not quite right, but I was too lazy to wait for the right one. So far we have only tested this Reni in the machine and put it on the shelf as a spare. Overall, it looks like I've found a source for cheap ( about 600-700$ on...

    Fanuc 31i hangs sometimes at M code (SOLVED)

    Can you post the ladder from your machine on a file hosting site?

    Cat40 spindle rebuild: Thoughts on floating bearings outer races spinning in housing

    Yes, I also thought that DF would be the only option, but I decided to ask the author of the topic - it’s better to be safe :) Thank you! No one on this forum has ever attacked me because of where I live. Except for another dude from Russia)))) But let’s not talk about that here, it wasn’t...

    Hehe, I'm even a little jealous of such a complex and interesting job :)
