Probing/Inspection Questions

[Anonymous]

Not sure if this is the right spot for this, but could someone point me in the direction of some instructional videos, on the advanced probing cycles? 

We just got a new UMC-500SS, and we want to take full advantage of its capabilities, and probing parts for in process parts, as well as the slick work offset updating via probing and that information is input into Fusion how?

I saw a video of someone doing it on Powermill I believe. Not sure how similar it is.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Anonymous,

We have a whole host of Inspection functionality you can do.

This is a quick video I made showing the Probe WCS Functions

This is a video I made for setting it up something called surface inspection on a HAAS next gen controller, this is a manufacturing extension function.

Also don't forget about Manual Inspection that allows you to use calipers micrometers ect to complement inspection on your machine.

Feel free to give me a shout if you have any more questions.

Thank you for the quick response.

The main video of interest was the second one. Setting up the Haas controller and the settings for the Inspection Cycle.

Is it the same process for probing 5 axis geometry? Can I instead pick random parts on a swarfed surface?

Yes exactly that you just put the points anywhere you can reach with the probe. You click on the point and drag it around.

Its a bit long but I did a 2hr webinar at the start of the year.
