### Cylinder Threaded Axis Scan Strategy

Description

This strategy scans a number of lines long the cylinder parallel to its axis and across the threaded surface.

1. From the Measurement Strategies tab, choose Cylinder Threaded Axis Scan Strategy. The Probe Toolbox tabs will change to only show Contact Path Properties and Contact Auto Move Properties.

2. Set the options in the Probe Toolbox and the other options in the Auto Feature dialog box as needed.

3. Click Properties. Modify the strategy's properties as needed. See "Available Measurement Strategy Properties".

4. Click Create.

- PC-DMIS scans each scan line along the cylinder parallel to its axis.

- The probe then moves according to the Direction defined in Measurement properties area of the Auto Feature dialog box before scanning the next scan line.

- Once the scan finishes, PC-DMIS sets the strategy back to the default.

When using this strategy the diameter of the probe tip must exceed the size of the valleys in-between the threads in order to prevent probe shanking.
