1. Introduction to CMM
1.1.

To Start CMM

To start-up CMM, you must follow the steps in sequence
1. Turn on the air dryer
2. Turn on the air pressure
3. Turn on the CMM, the controller key pad will show AbS0, press START and the
controller key pad will show 100 (which is the speed)
4. Turn on the PC (login as usual according to your company policy)
5. Double click on the shortcut as shown in figure

1.2.

To Shut-down CMM

To shut-down CMM, just reverse the sequence
1. Park the Probe to it's home position
2. Exit the application
3. Shut down the PC
4. Turn off the CMM
5. Turn off the air pressure (depend on the company)
6. Turn off the air dryer (depend on the company)
Notes:- If the controller key pad does not show A650, refer to Troubleshoot tips during
startup

To Check the Driver Setting

Click Settings - CMM Driver System (Geopak)

Measurement device

==>

refer to the machine model - eg UC200-DLL is the
latest driver for most of the CMM, EURO-C is for
Bright, Beyond, Beyond Apex & BLN Series, EURO-M
is for BH-V Series, CMMC-6 is for BHN Series,

Probe System

==>

refer to the probe model - eg PH9/10 (RS232C) is most
commonly use in CMM, PH8 are for manual probe
head, SP80 are for scanning probe head. Note: If there
is no probe system being defines during calibration it
can only be done manually.
Measurement should be taken from the center of the
probe to the ruby ball.

Tool Charger System

==>

refer to the probe tree (only required for those who
purchase the additional accessories)

Rotary Table

==>

refer to the rotary table (only required for those who
purchase the additional accessories)

Optical System

==>

refer to the optical system (only required for those who
purchase the additional accessories)

Setting

==>

refer to a detail setup for the machine movement and
probe communication port

3. Introduction to Learn Mode
3.1.

Three Different Ways to Startup Learn Mode

 Start up Wizard

 Initialization dialogs
 No “Start up Wizard” or “Init.
Dialogs”

: This is a 4 steps guide that guides you
through the CNC programming. We
normally set this as the default. (it can also
be configure up to 10 steps)
: This is a 2 steps guide that allow you to

define the probe and set the Part Coordinator
System (PCS)
: No guide and no dialog box

1.

Click Settings - Startup Wizard Configuration, a dialog box will appear as shown

2.
3.

Select Start-up Wizard (default setting)
Click OK

3.2.

Where to change the unit setting?

1.

Settings - Input Characteristics, a dialog box will appear as shown

2.
3.

Select the unit (eg inch)
Click OK

Note: Unit cannot be change once measurement is taken. In another words, there should
not be any commands in the field for results windows if you need to change the unit. The

status bar will show the define unit.

Parts of the Probe

For auto probe head, you have to define the swivel length of the probe by using the probe
builder. Let’s look at the parts of the probe.

(1) Probe Collar
(2) Sensor Mount
(3) Total Length
(4) Swivel Length
(5) Probe Head - ( Eg PH10MQ )
(6) Auto-Changer - ( Eg PAA1 )
(7) Touch Probe - ( Eg TP200 )
(8) Stylus Extension
(9) Stylus - ( eg (M2)PS2R - measure the stylus length & diameter in order to determine
the part name)

3.4.1.

Probe Data Management
To Setup the Probe System

If you need to set the probe with an angle (eg A=60 & B=-90), you have to determine the
swivel length. Normally, user will prepare a list of probe(s) so that they can calibrate the
entire probe list when the machine is power on and use it for all parts throughout the day.
This is only applicable for auto machine. As for manual machine, every time when you
change the probe angle you should calibrate the probe.
If your startup learn mode is using startup wizard, click exit and calibrate, a dialog box
will appear as shown

To remove the current configuration, click

3.

Then select a probe head from the top-right list box, and click
or double
click on the component. Repeat this step until a complete probe system configuration
is finished.
Then click OK to save your configuration. Look at the title bar it will show the new
swivel length value (eg swivel length=132.000)

To Create Probe(s) with Different Angles

For manual probe head, you have to manually adjust the probe angle and set the probe list
by using the Define Probe Button method and use manual calibration. (Refer to 3.4.4.1 For Manual Calibration )
For auto probe head, following are a few methods you can use to set the probe at a
different angle(s).
 Use the T-Controller
 Use Define Probe Button
 Use New Button
3.4.2.1.

Use the T-Controller Method

Below shows a diagram of the T-Controller

Click
Press T, to create a probe with the angle A=0, B=0
Press A+ / A- (eg A=90) to increase/decrease the angle, every one press it will
increase/decrease by 7.5. The maximum angle A can go is 90.
7. Press B+ / B-, (eg B=90) every interval is also 7.5 and the maximum angle is 180.
8. Press T
9. Repeat this for others angle(s) (eg A=90, B=-90 & A=60, B=-90).

To Calibrate the Probe

There are 2 ways to calibrate a probe


Manually



Automatically

3.4.4.1.

For Manual Calibration

1.
2.

Click Probe - Probe Data Management.
Select a probe. Click CALIBRATE, a dialog box will appear as shown

3.

Check and ensure that the Master Ball value is correct. The value of the Master Ball
can be found on the physical part.

4.
5.

Click
Set the number of points (eg 5).

Page 17


GEOPAK Win Ver2.4
Training Manual
6.

Click OK, a dialog box will appear as shown

7.

You have to manually touch the points. You should go round the master ball (min 4
points or more) and the last point will be at the top of the sphere. And the probing
direction should be perpendicular to the master ball if the stylus is set at an angle (eg
45 degree) as shown below.

Page 18


GEOPAK Win Ver2.4
Training Manual
3.4.4.2.

For Automatic Calibration

1.
2.

Click Probe - Probe Data Management.
Select a probe. Click CALIBRATE, a dialog box will appear as shown

3.

Check and ensure that the Master Ball value is correct. The value of the Master Ball
can be found on the physical part.

4.

Click
Swivel length

: For auto probe head, you will have to use the probe builder to
define the swivel length.

Safety
Distance

: This is known as the bounce back distance.

Z-Offset

: For stylus of diameter 1.0 and above, the z-offset will be set to
zero.

For stylus of diameter 0.5 and below, the z-offset will be set to
3mm or more

No of
executions

: Depend on the master ball position and the swivel length, if the
previous calibration uses the same master ball position and
there is no change in the swivel length. The no. of execution
can be set as 1.

Click OK, the CNC parameter will appear as shown

Legend
Value not in use
Take the max value of the machine
Use the default value of the machine
Enter you own value

Movement speed

:

This is the speed that the probe will move from one position
to another. It is recommended that it should be set at default.

Measurement speed

:

This is the speed that the probe will move from one position
to another during measuring. It is recommended that it
should be set at default.

Safety distance

:

Refer to the bounce back distance of the probe.

Measurement length

:

When the machine is set to run in auto mode, the machine
will stop by itself after a traveling distance if it did not stop at
it designated position.

6.

Click OK, a dialog box will appear as shown

7.

You have to manually touch the first point before it can automatically run. Therefore
the first position point is very important. You have to ensure that it fall at the center
of the master ball, if need to you may have to hold the controller and stand on the left
or right side of the machine to ensure the straightness.

Note: you have to include the first probe as part of your selection if you want auto
calibration. Instead of selecting all and calibrate every single probe, you can hold the
CTRL and select the probe that needs to be calibrated
