2. Probe setup
Stylus number is configured the same as the number of teeth of the part.
Stylus No.1 = -X axis direction (not a must, but a good suggestion – see pictures bellow)
Teeth = 5

3. Import nominal profile data
2.1) Import nominal profile from a 3D CAD model
After you import the 3D CAD model from PC-DMIS using Linear_Open_Scan, generate an off-line scan to extract nominal
profile. Create the scan in CCW direction!

3. Import nominal profile data
2.2) Import nominal profile from a 3D CAD model
Start CA and import the nominal profile generated in PC-DMIS.
6
3. Import nominal profile data
3) Adjust the data
Change the Z value of the points to “0”. Check again the point flow – must be CCW!

4. Create helical vector
※ In case imported nominal profile from a 3D CAD
model, there might be ni need of create helical
vector.
Length of Lead per pitch
Helix direction
Probe radius compensation
(Generally ‘0’)
Probe R comp direction
9
Eventually show the
vectors, to ensure
yourself, they are
created correctly.
