Function, Mode and Working Principle of the Meter:

2.1.2 Functions, modes and working principles of the measuring device:


a. Functions and modes:

The QM333 hand-operated 3D profiling machine has the following main functions:

Maybe you are interested!

as follows:

Measure 3D coordinates of details, measure and check geometric parameters and geometric errors

Function, Mode and Working Principle of the Meter:

learn about flatness, inclination, parallelism, concentricity, cylindricality..., operations

geometric measurement of mechanical parts…

The measured parts have dimensions limited to 3 3 0 0 0 0 x x 3 3 0 0 0 0 x x 3 3 0 0 0 0 within the measuring range of the machine.

In this topic, the function of getting 3D coordinates of the part is used to build data conversion software and process 3D parts.

b. Machine connectivity:

The measured data is displayed on the processing screen and saved to a floppy disk or printed to paper as a hardcopy. It is also possible to connect via the RS-232 port.

c. Working principle of the measuring device:

.

The sample is placed and fixed on the measuring table.

Air compressor, compresses the air entering the filter chamber and dries the air

Air. When the compressed air reaches the required pressure, the air pressure valve is turned off.

The air after being filtered and dried is lifted and guided in the X, Y, Z directions.

To take detailed samples, fix the probe in one fixed direction and move the probe in the other two directions to get the desired sample.

Point coordinates according to the cross-sectional contour of the detail. At each position

When the probe touches the part, the screen displays the coordinates (X, Y, Z) at the measuring point. The display saves the measured data to the floppy disk. The data is saved as a file.

II. CAD/CAM software and programming languages

With the scope of the topic, the software tools will be selected as follows: AutoCAD software and Visual Basic 6.0 programming language, MasterCAM software.

- MasterCAM software is a very popular and easy to use CAM software.

application, allowing the construction of complex surface machining models , capable of importing many types of high-resolution design data.

high precision files such as .DXF, .STEP, .IGS ... In addition, MasterCAM software also provides post processors for

Allows exporting machining programs to many types of machining programs for different controllers such as: FANUC, ...

- AutoCAD is a very popular design software, widely used in design practice in Vietnam. One of the advantages of this software is providing development tools by

programming languages ​​as well as the ability to compile many different types of design data. To develop AutoCAD, people can use programming languages ​​such as C++, AutoLisp, Visual Basic. However, Visual Basic is currently used more

The most important is that AutoDesk has provided VBA (Visual Basic Application) tools for developers.

II. Data conversion and processing


The normal measurement data from the QM 333 meter are printed out from the printer as coordinate records on paper (hard copy); if

Keeping this data format, machining the part on CNC machining center based on measurement data is very difficult.

as impossible to perform especially the details with shapes

complex form. Therefore, to take advantage of the measurement results on the measuring machine to create a program for machining the details on the center

CNC machining requires the construction of an integrated CAD/CAM system to be able to convert data from the measuring machine

QM 333 into machining programs on centers

CNC machining.

Chapter IV. Results


I. Data collection.

The measured data are the coordinates of points in the three directions x, y, z and

are stored in *.txt files. Examples of measurement point data are shown in the appendix.

II. Data Conversion Introduction

The program to convert and draw details automatically in the AutoCAD environment (DrawOut) is an application program created on

Visual Basic Ver 6.0 programming software platform.

Characteristic:

The program works on Window 2000, XP and AutoCAD 200i environments.

The program is embedded directly into the AutoCAD environment. The program can be initiated directly in the AutoCAD environment as an AutoCAD command (from the command line).

line and from the menu).
