#### Auto Cylinder Paths

Cylinder Measurements

Adjust the processing window in the Laser View to include as much of the cylindrical surface as possible. Laser plane must be roughly normal to the cylinder axis ( < 30 degree deviation). Depending on the diameter of the cylinder, PC-DMIS takes one of these paths when performing the measurement:

Path 1: Single Scan

Cylinders with a diameter less than the usable portion of the stripe. A is the scan motion.

Path 2: Multiple Scans

Cylinders with a diameter larger than the usable portion of the stripe

Stud Measurements

Path 1: Single Scan

Adjust the processing window in the Laser View to include as much of the cylindrical surface as possible. The laser plane must be roughly 30~60 degrees to the cylinder axis. The scan must capture the region on the base plane of the stud where the cylinder is mounted.

Per email sent 4-1-2011 from Alberto, I'm commenting this out since it's not implemented yet.

Path 2: Multiple Scans

Use multiple sensor orientations to scan the cylinder portion as well as the base surface of the stud. With pass 1, the laser plane should be roughly normal to the cylinder axis (< 30 degree deviation) when scanning the stud cylinder. With pass 2, the laser plane should be roughly normal to the mounting surface of the stud when scanning the base plane of the stud.
