CMM (XYZ Labeling)
Access: Activate the appropriate part/electrode and then from the menu bar, select either:
-
Tools > Tools > Attach Labels (CMM) to invoke the CMM (XYZ_Labeling) feature.
-
Tools > Tools > Create Report to create a Report.
A Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) enables you to measure the physical geometrical characteristics of an object by using a probe. These probes may be mechanical, optical, laser, or white light, among others.
The Cimatron CMM (XYZ Labeling) function enables you to define measuring points and a probe path for checking part (mostly electrode) accuracy after manufacturing. This determines whether the manufactured part is valid (according to defined tolerances).
The function allows you to define different probes and measuring orientations, as well as the probe path. When measuring electrodes, the CMM function automatically considers the burning condition and generates both graphic reports and raw data for the measuring program.
It is a common requirement to measure electrodes before using them in the EDM process. This way, the mold maker makes sure there are no mistakes in the electrode machining process, and especially that there is a match between the planned EDM burning conditions and the physical electrodes.
The CMM (XYZ Labeling) function enables you to define critical measuring points and employs a measuring method to attach XYZ coordinate information (3 or 5 axes) to part geometry points. This measuring method uses the electrode geometry, probe data, and 3-axis and 5-axis probe path and orientation.
The function also enables you to create standard reports in different formats (XML, CSV, XLS, TXT, etc.).
The function can be activated by both the designer (Part environment) and the NC programmer (NC environment) according to your company's working methodologies.
The CMM (XYZ Labeling) function consists of the following:
