CALIGO 2.2 Dedication 1 22 Dedication CALIGO 2.2 Application notes and known problems Chapter 1 Application notes and known problems This chapter contains: Application notes....................................................................................... 1-2 Known problems ....................................................................................... 1-5 CALIGO 2.2 1-1 Application notes Application notes Notes NOTE We recommend to read the operating instructions before using CALIGO . You will find more information on using CALIGO. Existing CALIGO installations You may install different versions of CALIGO in parallel. Please note the following: – If, when starting CALIGO for the first time, the existing stylus data base is from CALIGO 1.10 or older, this stylus data base will be converted into a new format. The old database remains unchanged. From that moment, the two CALIGO versions use their specific database. Any operation (qualification, creation, deletion, rack assignment, etc.) performed on styli or stylus systems applies only to the CALIGO version used for the process. – Work sessions saved with a higher CALIGO version cannot be opened in previous CALIGO versions. Import function for MDB files MDB import is possible if the following conditions are met: – With CALIGO 32-bit version – With CALIGO 64-bit version and a 64-bit MS Office product installed. – With CALIGO 64-bit version and 64-bit AccessDataBaseEngine installed. NOTE If you have installed a 32-bit MS Office product, MDB import with the CALIGO 64-bit version is not possible. To use the MDB import option, uninstall all 32-bit MS Office components and install the MS Office 64Bit product or the 64-bit AccessDataBaseEngine. 1-2 CALIGO 2.2 Application notes “CALIGO DMIS” option If you use the “CALIGO DMIS” option, please note the following additional information: – For scanning with Eagle Eye sensors, you cannot use the optical feature templates and the toolbox. – The scanning and rotary table options are not supported. Nominal-actual comparison The evaluation procedure for the nominal-actual comparison has been optimized such that there are no more artifacts on borders of faces. Only the existing measured points will be evaluated. This may cause gaps in the visualization of the false-color comparison which is, however, a correct result. For better orientation in the nominal-actual comparison visualization, the background color of the false-color representation has been set to dark gray. Additionally, non-evaluated regions are now displayed in light gray instead of, as before, in the color of the corresponding CAD surface. CMM navigation Please bear in mind that features will be skipped during the measurement plan run if they cannot be evaluated. All features referenced to these skipped features will also be ignored Risk of collision If no secure navigation path has been defined in the measurement plan, there is a risk of collision. Features in the base system/start system Features in the base/start system will not be transformed after iteration of the alignment. The results of the features will be shown in the printout with the same alignment as the one used for measuring them. The behavior of the base/start system is now the same as for a normal iteration container. CALIGO 2.2 1-3 Application notes Surface and curve evaluations Due to the complex construction of the features Surface, Curve, Point cloud registration, Nominal-actual comparison, and Point cloud extraction, it is recommended to use the feature templates provided in the toolbox, since these templates guarantee proper use. ZEISS PDF Printer From CALIGO 2.0, ZEISS PDF printers are no longer available in the installation. The PDF printers for reporting are already integrated in the software and do not need to be installed separately. 1-4 CALIGO 2.2 Known problems Known problems GD&T (multiple datums) Multiple datums from previous CALIGO versions get lost and have to be generated as the respective feature in the measurement plan. Stylus changer with invalid base system and safety envelope The following aspect has to be considered for the CNC start of a CALIGO measurement plan with stylus changer and invalid base coordinate system: make sure that the styli used are not changed automatically as long as the base system is invalid. The part located on the machine is not yet known to the navigation function which therefore cannot work properly to avoid collisions. There is a risk of collision. Material thickness The CAD converters do not provide the correct material thickness. This is why the material thickness is not loaded from the CAD model. Positioning in the workpiece coordinate system (“CALIGO DMIS” option) Movement is only possible in machine coordinates. The workpiece coordinates are only displayed. Truncated bookmarks in Adobe Reader X or XI When you open the PDF file of the CALIGO documentation in Adobe Reader X or XI, the bookmarks may be truncated at the bottom. This is a display problem of Adobe Reader X or XI. You can eliminate the problem by modifying the text size of the bookmark displayed. 1 Open the Bookmarks tab in Adobe Reader X or XI. CALIGO 2.2 1-5 Known problems 2 Select Text Size " Small from the selection list of the Options icon. PiWeb Basic Report If you use round brackets () in the name of a PiWeb report, these brackets will be removed from the name by PiWeb BasicReporter when generating the report. NOTE This restriction has been eliminated for the new PiWeb reporting version. Manual measurement of the iterative alignment If you perform manual iterative alignment in the base system, you must bear the following in mind: If you click the Go one step back icon in the Manual measurement dialog box, not only the last measured point will be deleted but also all previously measured points. You must then repeat the manual measurement. CAD import In rare cases, it may occur that a CAD model in IGES format cannot be imported into CALIGO. You can eliminate the problem and perform the import by selecting a higher model quality for the import. When importing into CALIGO assembly models in Siemens NX format from version 8.5, containing (unspecified) unicode characters in the attributes, CALIGO will not react anymore. Some imported models in Siemens NX format from version 8.5 with segments from a JT import contain no geometries. Surface and curve measurement If you have used CALIGO 1.10 or a previous CALIGO version to create in your measurement plan a surface or curve measurement with a nominal system assigned to it, you will have to regenerate or recreate the probing points for the surface or curve measurement in CALIGO 2.0. 1-6 CALIGO 2.2 Known problems Evaluating studs via point clouds The algorithm for stud evaluations using point clouds has been modified. In exceptional cases, the calculation may fail but can be restored by modifying the search radius.
