Probe Collisions during Measurement

  • Ensure that you set your pre-hit and retract values correctly in your Swift-Check configurations, which you can access from Settings. For more information on how to set these values, see "Machine Settings".

  • Ensure that you have correctly positioned the Swift-Check plate for the type of check you are running.

  • Check that you haven’t un-marked, deleted, or edited any of the commands from the measurement routine.

  • Check that the you have recently calibrated your probe and all your results were acceptable.

  • Ensure that you selected the correct axis convention for your CMM correctly in your Swift-Check configuration file. For more information on how to set this, see "Machine Settings".

  • If a collision occurs while PC-DMIS measures a sphere, make sure your CMM supports circular moves. The probe should move in a circular path between each point taken on the sphere. If your CMM does not support circular movement, you need to increase the pre-hit and retract values on the config screen to allow the probe to move between points without collision.

  • Ensure that you have correctly positioned the Swift-Check plate for the type of check you are running.

  • Check that you haven’t commented out, deleted, or edited any of the commands from the measurement routine.
