The manual alignment is necessary to tell the machine where the part is. It’s important to get that early in the programming, especially if you want to combine CAD with picking up features with the probe.
PiWeb graphed the flatness for you. In the PiWeb Report select Replace Protocol Row Templates (icon kind of looks like a gear) along the top and select the detailed view in the new window. A cool thing about the PiWeb Flatness plot is if you left click it it will open in a single sheet view which is much larger. If you hold down Control on the keyboard and pick a point with the left mouse button it will give the deviation of that particular point.
Hey man if you could ever do a tutorial on Piweb reporting tips / saving data to a table file / summary statistics of several parts that would be mad helpful
What does a strategy mean? Also what is a chamf? Edit: I think i now understand that a strategy is how youre going to probe the part to make sure its geometry is as you expected it to be.
Hi, yes a strategy is just the instructions for how the probe with measure each feature. I think you mean chamfer? It's possible the automatic captions messed that up.
Another great video! Question, will the size of my ruby in comparison to the size of the hole I’m measuring effect results? My ruby is .118 and my holes are about .150. No matter how slow I run the speed it still has to measure twice and gets pretty crazy numbers at times.
check the R (radius) value in the stylus manager.. im pretty sure calypso figures out the dimensions on its own it just refrences the master probe.. you should be able to just requalify the probe your using then double check the probes radius in the stylus manager/administrator whatever its called. it under the cmm tab next to characteristics and features tabs
I have a question. We have a Contura and I am just learning calypso. Your videos have been really helpful. We are using a CAD model. But our nominals are not matching what it says on the print. Should we be changing the nominals? I know you did when you just picked up a part with no model. How should I be approaching this?
Hi, it’s possible the cad model doesn’t match the drawing. The alignment you use will also change the nominals, the alignment needs to match the origin in cad to make everything the same. If it’s inconvenient for the base alignment, you could use a secondary alignment.
I just seen a job opening at work (medical devices…CNC shop)…is this a job I need a degree for? Or can it be learned? (I used to program a CNC plasma machine at my dads welding shop…).
Hi, you don’t necessarily need a degree to be a CNC machinist, but you will need several skills that are obtained by experience, a formal apprenticeship, or a degree program. Check out my colleague’s channel to get an idea of the programming knowledge required: m.ruclips.net/user/ProfessorWickham
I am a machinist 2 right now…I just wasn’t sure if it would be something that was learnable by just having someone teach it at work or if I needed schooling for the programming part! (The job opening was for a CMM programmer) Thanks for the response. I’ll be watching a lot more of these videos!!
@@chaselytle6746 Hi, if it is a Zeiss CMM, you could get some real skills between myself and professor Wickham. Be sure to get familiar with GD&T as well.
I've used loads and loads of different metrology software over my career. Mainly with laser trackers and PC-Dmis, but after going through the calypso basic class, these videos of yours have been a great help in shoring up my understanding in how Calypso prefers to work! I don't know if you have access to a machine with the RDS on it, but it would be great to have those angle changes explained with your expertise!
As a new manufacturing engineer, I have learned so much from your channel. Thank you!
Super cool to hear! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
hi, what is the name of this course? you know in Hudson Valley. thanks in advance.
It’s “MFTS 214 Advanced Dimensional Metrology”
I've learned alot from your videos...I am also watching your GD&T videos. All your videos are so helpful. Thank you.
Great to hear! Thanks so much!
Hello. Could you explain to me please why you did in this case a first manual alignment. Many thanks for all the great videos.
The manual alignment is necessary to tell the machine where the part is. It’s important to get that early in the programming, especially if you want to combine CAD with picking up features with the probe.
Thank you so much.

Hi,
Thanks for sharing that! PiWeb is such a powerful tool. When I do a video where I discuss the topic more, I will mention what you suggested.
Thank you for taking the time to do this video simple but a great explanation.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your comments on my CMM videos.

Great idea, Let me see what I can do.
Csn u pls do the update version of calypso!! Ur video are the which makes me work in company !! So pls make one.
What does a strategy mean?
Also what is a chamf?

@@RDeanOdell oh.sorry I didn't check the automatic captions.
Just didn't know how to spell what you said
So a chamfer is just a sloped edge on a geometry correct?@@RDeanOdell
Could you please give example for gear box differential programming in cmm
Another great video!

Its 2024 and and there are lots of channels which make videos on zeiss cmm but I'm loving your coz your teaching technics are much better
Thanks so much!
Useful, specially for beginners☝🏼
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for giving a knowledgeable information
Simple n smart👍👍👍
Thank you!
Thank you so much for all of your tutorial.
I love to watch your videos. Your explanation process is very good.
Thanks for leaving so a nice comment! I’m glad you found my videos helpful.
I didn't have the option to do a manual alignment when going to run.

I need one help.
How to find out cycle time of programm
I struggled to program cad model.. I always do probing. Now i got this in my hands. Super cool. 👏👍
I enjoy the “walk up and measure” method without a CAD model, but the CAD programming is definitely faster. Thanks for your feedback!
@@RDeanOdell yup. Till now we were using calypso 5. Currently upgraded to 7.2. So the cad programming is new for me..
This video means me a lot😜
Do you have any experience with using calpyso for CT scans? Not much of that on YT
Where is cad healing ?
is there any way we can change retract distance of probe while programming perticular picture.
how to make a 2d to 3d program, please make a video tutorial, thanks
Plz more videos on offset alignments..and programs
Hi, I have several videos where I do a full program, albeit simple parts.
Sir I'm watching your videos and lots of learn from you
Thanks man you're awesome.
Thanks so much!
Can you upload keyway measuring videos please?

And also told me shot key with fuction
👍👍
Thanks!
thank you for videos !!
My favorite is the pens
Thanks a lot
