CMM Zeiss Duramax with Calypso: Basic Measurements II (Programmer Training Lesson 8)

I write a program for “Mill Part 2”, available below.
I show how to:
Recall Features
Measure Angles
3:01 Adjust Probing Strategies
8:41 Reporting X & Y Coordinates
9:30 Correcting Nominal Dimensions

Its tough to find good calypso tutorials on youtube. Yours are by far the best I've watched. Thank you

[@RDeanOdell]

Thanks so much!

[@martincacer7033]

Great Job R. Dean Odell, I was waiting for this kind of video since you explained how does work a CMM machine, I really appreciate your time and the ORIGINAL level of explanation in each video you posted. Please, Continue developing Calypso Programs, you just shorted my learning Process. it is hard to find videos that you make. Thank you.

[@RDeanOdell]

Hi, Thankyou for the kind message. Sometimes I wonder if my videos are actually helping anyone. It's good to know people like you get something useful out of them.

[@lichtyc]

Just purchased a duramax for our shop floor. These videos are great for getting a head start before it comes. Thank you!

[@RDeanOdell]

Great to hear! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.

[@rosalyncampbell7240]

Very informative! Followed each step worked out great. Thanks

[@RDeanOdell]

Thanks so much! I’m glad you find my videos helpful.

[@amandamitchelfrye1603]

Thank you for these videos! My company recently switched one of our pc dmis machines for Zeiss calypso! I recently learned some of the interface and like it alot! Listening to you makes it seem so simple

[@RDeanOdell]

Great to hear! I’m glad my videos help.

Hey there! I really enjoyed watching your video, and I love the content you make. I did not know of the F11 macro function on the controller. If you'd like unsolicited info, please keep reading lol One thing I found, if you're looking to make a program quickly, you can open the alignment window 1st then pickup your features 2nd. The software will automatically assign the features based on the order of feature creation and the feature's orientation in relation to the CMM's coordinates (the same can be done with CAD models, but must use "CAD Model Transformation" first). For example, you open the empty alignment box, first pick up the top plane with manual points to create the feature (can edit the name here), click okay, the software will assign that feature to the spatial rotation and z origin block. The second feature you would pickup would be the 2D-line that you'd like to "clock" the part with by restricting planar rotation, and it will also automatically assign either as x or y origin based on the feature's alignment to the CMM. There are also safeguards in place, so if you accidentally probe a single point after probing the top plane, in my example, then it will only be assigned an axis origin and not set as planar rotation. I hope my little bit of information can be useful to someone! Also, you are able to eliminate that polyline strategy for planes problem within the settings. Resources => Save/Load Defaults => Strategies.

Excelent Video. Congratulations!

[@jivrajdesai7843]

Very informative sir please upload more videos

[@ashpalmer1365]

Excellent tutorial.

[@RDeanOdell]

Thanks so much!

[@214dadon8]

Very good tutorial on Calypso. Do you have any tutorial vids for PC-DMIS?

[@RDeanOdell]

Thanks! I don’t have anything on PCDMIS, I recommend the channel CMMXYZ at youtube.com/@CMMXYZvideo

[@0808bu100]

Thank you so much for the content, just wondering why not just using 2D line instead of 3D line?

[@mfisu8]

fyi your print does not lock down the location of where your satellite holes are on the bolt circle and unless the holes are far enough off that it crashes the machine, you won’t see any problem from the report either. If you rotate the satellite holes about the center of the bolt circle then everything your tolerancing will remain the same. The angles between the holes and the distance from the center to each hole and the bolt circle diameter would all remain the same. This is why positional tolerancing would be better. Thanks for vid thou

[@RDeanOdell]

Hi, valid points. That drawing isn’t great. I have a GD&T version, but the GD&T version is by nature easier to program so I use this one to raise questions in my class Thanks for the input!

[@le6327]

Please do more vedios

[@RDeanOdell]

Hi, I will have at least one more video on this topic coming out next week. Stay tuned, thanks for watching.

How to check position for that 3 hole... I am facing same problem I don't know x and y value of hole but know radius and and angle... I tryed to check position angle and radius method but not use... How to calculate x and y value of hole through radius And angle

[@Anthonycivic04]

How can I find a angle on a chamfer on a shaft. Is it Similar way or is there a different way

[@gregirvin2459]

You mentioned the importance of the circles being measured at the same depth, when dimensioning the angle between 3D lines. Why don't you construct 2D lines instead?

[@rankovicmarko]

Hi, can you please tell me how to create macro for circle measuring in Calypso? We measure machined parts and for doing manual alignment for already made programs, we have sometimes circles and I think macro would make it faster doing all that manual alignments. :) Tnx in advance!

[@RDeanOdell]

Hi, hit F11 on the keyboard and it will initiate a 4-point macro cycle. Should save a little bit of time with manual alignment.

[@aravinthkumar6649]

What is role function keys please explain like f11

[@RDeanOdell]

The F11 is a special Macro that automatically probes a 4 point circle feature. It’s only needed when you are not using a CAD model. I show how to use it in a video on my Zeiss CMM playlist.

[@aravinthkumar6649]

Thank you sir 🙏

[@patriciagodoyromero2611]

Where l take class???

[@RDeanOdell]

Hi, the course is called MFTS 214-Advanced Dimensional Metrology at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy New York. Thanks for watching!
