Common Items
Permanent Hits and Spacer – Partially Supported. Runtime sample hits will be taken but will not be used to modify the path. They will only be used in the Analysis phase.
Initial Hits – Unsupported. These are learn-time sample hits. There is no learning function in V1.0.
Re-Measure – Supported. However, there may be no benefit to re-measuring using the same path.
Read Position – Unsupported. Supported in PC-DMIS NCI.
Auto PH9 – Unsupported. 5 axis machine tools with multi-axis wrists may be supported in later versions. Supported in PC-DMIS NCI.
On Error – Unsupported. PC-DMIS will be operating in a Server mode where the Operator will generally not see the screen. Supported in PC-DMIS NCI.
Relative Measurement – Unsupported. This requires path modification based on measurement. Supported in PC-DMIS NCI.
NOMINALS – FINDNOMS – MASTER – VECTOR list. NOMINALS only supported. Supported in PC-DMIS NCI.
Circle
Circular Move – Supported. The path will be generated with straight line segments by PC-DMIS when only protected moves are allowed. Circular moves are supported in the major machine axis planes XY YZ ZX if the NC controller can perform them. Unsupported in PC-DMIS NCI which only works with straight line moves.
Find Hole – Unsupported. Requires controller based path generation. Supported in PC-DMIS NCI.
Cylinder
Find Hole – Unsupported. Supported in PC-DMIS NCI.
Circular Move – Supported for unprotected motion. Supported in PC-DMIS NCI.
Use Theoretical – Supported.
Cone
Circular Move – Supported. Unsupported in PC-DMIS NCI.
Line
For CMT Features Only – Unsupported.
Corner Point
Supported since the path is not dependent on measurements.
Angle Point
Supported since the path is not dependent on measurements.
Edge Point
Unsupported. The points on the edge are determined by the surface point(s) which is a dynamically generated path. Supported in PC-DMIS NCI.
High Point
Unsupported. Supported in PC-DMIS NCI.
