Title: Slow setup speed with my video probe…
Post by: Glad on December 23, 2010, 02:16:32 PM

Hello everybody,
here is my setup for video probing. I’m dissatisfied with setup speed of my video probe… It takes a lot of time to adjust and locate starting point of a fixture/part. Do you know another, faster, more precise way of finding edges, hole center on a part/fixture/table?

The only video probing, etc i have done is with COPYCAT. To use it you will need an NFS license and it will do more than just finding a center and edges. A write up on COPYCAT can be found in Members Docs.
It has appendixes which describe modifications  to a video camera. I also use an XBOX 360 along with it.
The above is just one way.

You say not satisfied with setup speed .......are you meaning how long it all takes?
I just put ground piece in the chuck and visualy find stuff many times as it's easier and quicker and just as accurate.
