In this learning module, the measurement of curves without a CAD model is presented. You will also learn
how measured curves can be exported into ACIS, IGES and VDA-FS format.
The alignment of the work piece and the measurement of the elements plane, circle and cylinder required for
the references will not be explained in detail as this has already been discussed in previous measurement
tasks.
The measurement of curves with triggered as well as with scanning probe systems is discussed in this
measurement task. Apart from the point distribution settings, the measurement with scanning probe systems
works analog to the measurement with triggered probe systems.
Learning goals
Create work piece

program
Measure curves without CAD model
Export curves into different formats
Import curves as nominal elements and measure on them
Expand programming knowledge and deepen already taught

materials
First you create a new work piece and a new measuring program. If an
adequate PCLS is already available, you may use it.
Align the work piece according to the attached drawing.
First, measure all geometrical elements with nominal value input that
are used as reference elements (A-E). You may also use pre-probing
for these measurements.

Measure curves
Measure the curves shown in the drawing. Curves can be measured either in scanning probe mode using a scanning probe system, e.g. a
SP25, or with a triggered probe system, e.g. TP20 in pecking probe
mode.
Probing mode "Pecking"
The probing mode "Pecking" can be activated in the ribbon ...
...or directly in the status window.
Probing mode "Pecking" can only be used with WPC 2040 controller.
Closed curves
First the slot is measured as a closed curve.
Display of nominal values and reference selection
Two pre-probing points are selected with the joystick.

Joystick probing
1. Start point
2. Direction point
The pre-probing is terminated after the second point with closed curves.

Open curves
Now we program an open curve. In this case, three pre-probing points are
used to determine the curve.

2. Start point
3. Direction point

More curves with different

settings
Measure all other curves with different settings and references.
For the measurement of the curve across the angular slot, an extract line
is constructed as reference and onto this a perpendicular plane through
circle 3.
Measure the curve in the theoretical distance of 16mm from the perpendicular plane.

Program
Export elements
The measured elements are now exported into different formats.
Subsequently the exported curves are re-imported as nominal curves in
order to measure more curves (for comparison purposes). The exported
curves can also be used in a CAD system for reengineering.

Enter adequate coordinate system and if needed name of the export file.
It is possible to use variables for the saving of the export file (file name).
The curves are stored by default into the ExImp directory with the specified name.
Export curves into VDA-FS

With the export of VDA-FS data, multiple possibilities are selectable.
Select the corresponding export
options.
The curves are stored by default into the ExImp directory with the specified name.
Export curves in IGES

With the export of IGES data, multiple possibilities are selectable
Select the applying export options.
The curves are stored by default in the ExImp directory with the predefined name.

More tips and explanations for the export function and the VDA-FS or
IGES formats can be found in the QUARTIS help.

Import elements
The curves are now imported as CAD model or VDA data.

In this example the ACIS data has been re-imported as CAD and the
VDA-FS data as points.
Just as with the export, one can import individual or multiple elements.
Display options
Measure on imported
elements
One can now measure again on the imported CAD data. For example, a
master work piece is measured and then compared with its profiles in series.
Re-measure the curve with different settings. You can also combine several curves.
In order to subsequently evaluate the curves in relation to the nominal

values, each curve has to be re-measured with nominal values.

Program
Evaluation
Now create the features according to the drawing for the measured elements.
The coordinate system had been created with the elements A-B-C. Thus
XYZ can be selected as basis.
Line profile 0.5 ADE unilateral Depending on if the reference elements had been measured with nominal
value input or with pre-probing, they can either be used or not.
As another solution, one can subsequently create a work piece coordinate
system out of elements without reference. With this, evaluation is done on
the basis of XYZ.
Distance 20
For this distance, we first construct two extract circles out of the closed
curve.
12.1 (2x)
The diameters of both extract circles.
Evaluate either with reference elements that contain nominal values or

with reloaded coordinate system.
Line profile 0.1 asymmetrical
It should be noted that the offset is negative, since the line profile in the
material is shifted inward.
More tips and explanations about the line profile and tolerance zones
are available in the QUARTIS help.
