Hello Inspection programmers!
I apologize for not sending this out last week, but I was in Orlando, Florida and having problems with my e-mail system.
First off make sure that you call in your reservations to the hotel in San Antonio today in order to get the $99.00 hotel rates.
Please make room reservations directly to:
The Courtyard Marriott
600 S.Santa Rosa
San Antonio, TX 78204
1-800-648-4462
In addition, register with Kimberly Jackson at Silma.
Included in this message is the tentative agenda for the meeting. Rather than ask everyone to submit a presentation, I thought that we would approach the meeting differently. I am asking for you to send any problems/solutions that you want to discuss directly to me at:
ray.admire@lmco.com
The agenda is as follows
2001 SCIUG Meeting Agenda:
· Welcome
· Introductions from everyone answering the following questions:
How long have you been using the Inspection product?
How many programmers/seats do you have?
What capacity do you use the product?
Are you using a DMIS application?
· DMIS 4.0 (standard) update.
· Problem/Enhancement tracking system.
· Inspection 4.1 Update (new functionalities)-Silma Application Engineers
· New Workcell Build.
1. Build a work-cell from scratch...using a rotary table, multi-tip probe system (with indexable head) and any other types of capabilities we can think of.
2. CAD conversions.
3. Build full program using all of the Silma functionalities.
4. Simulate and collision detection of program.
5. Update Program to a new model.
6. Convert program for a fixed head Zeiss type system.
7. Translate program to non-DMIS based systems (i.e. Zeiss, CMES…).
· Problems/Opportunities for Inspection application.
· Hi-Level programming opportunities
· Visual Basic programming interfaces/opportunities
Note that in the "New Workcell Build" steps 1-7 is where I will ask that all programmers participate in ways that you program parts. I think that this will allow each one of us to see the system at it's full potential and grow our capabilities. In addition the Problems/Opportunities is where we can look for enhancements/corrections to current problems or deficiencies in the application.
