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 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 commented out, deleted, or edited any of the commands from the measurement routine.
Check that you have recently calibrated your probe and all your results were acceptable. You can view these in EDB PRB.
