Path Optimization Summary

Once the Path optimization has completed, the Optimize Path Summary dialog box shows the results of the path optimization.

Optimize Path Summary dialog box

 

The dialog box reports the following information:

Path Length % Shorter after Optimization – This value refers to the percent reduction of the optimized path length compared to the normal path length. For dual arm machines, it gives a percentage for both arms.

Probe Tip Errors – Features that were not assigned to a probe tip are listed in the Features without tips list. You may need to define new probe tips to ensure that each feature has a tip that can measure it. The Uncalibrated tips list shows the uncalibrated probe tips that you plan to use to measure features in your part program. You may need to calibrate these tips before executing the part program.

Dual Arm Errors – Features that the program was unable to measure by either arm will be included in this list.
