In the previous article, we had discussed the basics of setting up a true position evaluation with Zeiss Calypso. In that we touched base on selecting the proper datum reference frame (DRF) and explained the difference between a base alignment and a proper datum reference frame. In this issue, we will delve deeper into a true position evaluation with the application of the positional modifier tools.

True Position With Zeiss Calypso Part 1 |
|

One of the most widely used geometric dimensioning and tolerancing tools used by engineers is true position. A true position callout defines a zone where an axis or center plane of a feature can vary from a theoretical exact true position. The tolerance zone controls both location and orientation of a feature. The application of the callout is broad, used to control a varying array of features to their respective datum reference frames. Zeiss’ Calypso CMM software has most of the necessary tools for users to complete the evaluations. However, not understanding what the software is doing and why the results are generated can be severely detrimental in the manufacturing and functionality of the product.
