Digitizer

Hi
Here is the URL fir the CNCDIGIT :
http://www.thiemig.de/cncdigit/index.htm
The photos of the Renishaw are attatcht to this mail, sorry , could not get
connection to egroups for uploading.
How CNCdigit works :
You have to define two corners of a cube in which the object for digitizing
is.
Define direction and distance from point to point for digitizing.
The probing of some hundreds points needs some time .
Then You can export the data as dxf, or cnc-file doing some corrections or
inverting it.

There are several possibilitis for improving digitizing if someone will write
software like that:
CNCdigit lets the Z-axis lift to the same hight after each point. Just
lifting it 2mm and then moving the x/y axis would save much time. If there is
contact while moving x/y it just could lift another 2mm without "counting"
this contact.
The Ball-Diameter of the Renishaw should be the same size as the cutter You
will use to mill the object . So I have several diffrent balls.
A better way is how ZEISS does it. Always measuring three points in a very
small distance . The they calculate the middle point of the triangle and the
vector. So You can export the REAL ! surface to a cad-program.
Regards
Peter

Something seems to work wrong. Because of that I sent this mail a second time.
