VERIFY YOUR SOFTWARE
1-1 Does your software have calibration routines which compensate for stylus on centre errors? If
not you must set the probe stylus on centre mechanically.
Note : When using probe styli which are not on spindle centre. Spindle orientation positioning
repeatability is important to avoid probe measurement errors.
1-2 Does your software compensate for probe
triggering characteristics in all measuring directions.
2-1 JOB SET-UP REQUIREMENTS
Does the software automatically adjust the program coordinate system to the relevant set-up
feature on the component.
3-1 INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS
Simple to use canned cycles for standard features :
Bore/boss. Web/pocket. Single surface.
Simple to use canned cycles for optional features :
Angle measurement.
Vector 3 point bore/boss.
Vector single surface.
Good software will allow the following functions :
❋ Update work coordinate systems for positioning.
❋ Report measured sizes and update tool offsets for automatic tool offset compensations.
❋ Print data in the form of an inspection report to
an external PC/printer.
❋ Set tolerances on features.
