Hello< > This question is for checkmate users.It is my understanding that checkmate is very user friendly,I'm currently have 3 zeiss machines.two with umess-ux software and one the newest with calypso.I'm regretting not going with mess-ux,but that's in the past.< > The main reason we have went with calypso is to be able to work with the cad model,and we are having a real hard time getting the models from our design dept down through an iges translator.< > My question is will checkmate work with calypso?I don't think it will but i had to ask!< > If not,any suggestions on getting design to understand what to do to the model before sending in down in iges format?< > We also have a sim station(silma) but i have no experience with this system and the only one who was trained has left the company.And we are in the process of learning it ,however it has a great translator with it.< > I was under the impression that in calypso one could import the model into holos and then export it from holos back to calypso,but i cant seem to get it to work.< > The calypso model is fragmented but when i import it to holos it comes out ok.< > Hope i haven't rambled on to much this is the first time i've posted a question on cmm world< > and i hope to heard from anyone who can help.< > I have worked with umess and usoft,but i am just now getting into the model functions of cmm programming.< > thanks again,< > Tim Ball< > Mahle Inc.< > 423-318-3726< > m-w 5:30am-5:30-pm.< >
