:banana:
What u need to do is pickup the edge finder Z offset ( at the centre of the shaft so as to enable you to rotate the Rotary axis around a defined position ) & than pickup the coordinates & than plot it in a CAD & than calculate apparent angle between them.
Well this is also very sure that the whole procedure is very time consuming, needs a communication between the CAD person & the operator.....The kick should be observed very carefully......& preferbely a edge finder in a very very good condition is a must.
But as we all were talking for a alternative for aliging the parts to X-Y plane of an indexing head...Its just a alternative procedure but definately not a practical solution.
Well the part i mentioned in the previous post had a slope so it could make up, but what about dowel holes when they are on diameter or a face... ( Radial & axial ways )...
Then What ?????????????????............It the big question.
I know Reinshaw offers the same type of alignment....( for pickup of slope ) but neither it has any option for Holes on circumference of the part & nor on the face of the part.
Well, have anyone heard about any standard procedure or a instrument for pickup & aligning the plane in a desired angle or XY plane within seconds....??
