Programs that measure the print, not just the part
Running without collision and correctly measuring the datum structure on the drawing are two separate tests a program has to pass. Alignment strategy, feature selection and probe access are worked out from the print or model before a single point is taken.
Large weldments and machine frames typical of this market's machinery builders often need multi-setup strategies and extended stylus configurations instead of a single fixed program.
What is covered
GD&T interpretation, datum structure, probe selection and reporting are handled together, on the platform the shop already runs.
- 01
Platform support
PC-DMIS, Calypso, MODUS, CAMIO, PolyWorks and Quindos programs are written and edited.
- 02
GD&T interpretation
Datum structure and alignment are built from the print or model, not guessed from the part.
- 03
Probe and stylus strategy
Probe head and stylus configuration are selected and qualified for the feature access required.
- 04
Scanning vs. discrete point
Scanning is specified where form and profile data justify it over single-point touches.
How a program is built
- 01
Print review
Datums, tolerances and critical features are identified before setup planning.
- 02
Fixture and access plan
Setup count and probe access are worked out for the working volume and part geometry.
- 03
Program build
The program is written and dry-run before first-article measurement.
- 04
Report output
Output is formatted for first-article or internal inspection records.
Why Milwaukee CMM Calibration and Repair
- 01
Large-part fixturing
Multi-setup strategies are built for frames and weldments that exceed a single fixture.
- 02
Platform-specific
Programs are written natively on the platform the shop already owns.
- 03
Print-driven, not part-driven
Datum structure follows the drawing, not the as-received part.
Coverage across Wisconsin and the Greater Midwest
On-site service is scheduled across southeastern and eastern Wisconsin. Ship-in service is available outside that radius by arrangement.
