The document discusses applying the iterator pattern to improve an inventory management system. The system originally had separate inventory managers for desktop and laptop divisions that each managed their own inventory. The iterator pattern was used to create a unified view of inventory across divisions by implementing an iterator for the laptop division inventory that allowed iteration without exposing the underlying data structure. This improved encapsulation and allowed new classes to iterate over inventory in a uniform way without needing to know the specific implementation details.

We service, calibrate and provide the applications training at our office in Mississauga Ontario. We also provide contract inspect services to customers across Canada. This brings me to our choice to use PC-DMIS as an offline programming package. As a company, most of our employees were already intimately familiar with PC-DMIS, having used the product since the DOS days. Most of our customer base are long term PC-DMIS users as well. So for us, using PC-DMIS in Contract Inspect services was a “No Brainer” decision.
It All Starts With The ModelAny offline program will require a good CAD model as a basis for programming. If I have my choice with the customer, I ask for both an STEP or IGES file plus a Catia 5 file or the “Native CAD format”. I also ask for a PDF or Tiff file of the drawing. What the customer is able to provide me ,determines the work flow that I use. If I’m provided with a Catia 5 file that contains embedded GD&T data than I can program almost entirely without the use of the drawing. If I’m provided with STEP or IGES data then I have to use the PDF or Tiff drawing to program both the datum structure and the features of interest.

Visualizing the holding fixture.PC-Dmis allows the programmer to simulate or load actual fixtures models. I don’t do this for every part but it is an advantage when you have a complex holding fixture with multiple clamps that you need to program around. Show Movie – 4_FixtureModelling
Simulating the Measuring MachinePC-DMIS also allows you too simulate different models of CMM . This gives the programmer the advantage of visualizing machine volume, part placement, probe length and animation. This allows simplification of the part setup process.Show Movie – 5_MachineModels
Interacting with the part through the probe buildThe next thing we should consider is the probe build. Chances are that your customer will have a “Standard” length and build that they use. Use this if you can, as it will save time in tearing down and rebuilding a probe just for a single program. If you are making offline programs for internal use then it pays in “time saved” to define your own “standard” probe build that you can use over and over again. ANALOGUE If you need more accuracy in probing, then you may wish to consider using an analogue probe such as the Leitz LSP or the Renishaw SP25. These probes actually take multiple points for every one point measured.ANGLES If you have taken the time to use the Part/CMM dialog then PC-DMIS can automatically calculate the wrist angles to use for any given feature. There are two methods that will do this for you. One is the “Auto Wrist” function built into all the “Auto Features” the other is in the “Optimize” dialogue.Show Movie – 6_AutoWristAngles
Building the AlignmentIf you are using a CAD model that contains imbedded coordinate systems then you will want to activate one of them. I normally employ at least two alignments, one simple manual alignment and then a DCC measurement and alignment of the actual datum features. If you have the benefit of imbedded GD&T data then you can simply use the model datum definitions to define any additional alignments. If you are aligning to datum targets then keep in mind that an iterative alignment will respect the datum priority and a best fit alignment will not. If you are using an iterative alignment and need to define datums afterward, then simply use the construction dialog.Show Movie – 7_Alignment Tricks
Controlling MotionYou have many choices for programming move points. You can create individual moves on a “One by One” basis. You can insert moves offset from CAD or measured features. You can enable “Auto Move Points” by using the Auto Features dialog. You can also use auto clearance planes, clearance cubes and finally you can have PC-DMIS create the moves for you using the “Auto Insert Moves” command. My personal preference is to use either clearance planes or the newer clearance cube for planer parts and “Auto Insert Moves” for more complex parts.Show Movie – 8_CMM Motion
Interacting with the PC-DMIS softwareIf you are going to work efficiently in the PC-DMIS software you will want to take advantage of the tools that allow the user to customize the interface. I build custom tool bars for myself and even modify the icons displayed on the existing tool bars to optimize the graphic “real estate”. Don't forget about saving your different layouts using the “Windows Layout” toolbar. In the “Auto Features” dialog in regularly display and manipulate the hits using the “Hit Targets” button. I also like using the “Void Detection” button to place hits on Auto Plane features.Show Movie – 9_PCDMIS_Interface1
More Interface informationAs a matter of course, to be successful with PC-DMIS offline you will want to ensure that you have a full understanding of how the mouse behaves in both “Program Mode” and “Translate Mode”. I find myself constantly switching back and forth between both of these modes. I also make use of “Box Selections” for groups of holes or points when I can. You will find that this speeds up program creation considerably! I also use the “Status” window to get quick feedback from the dimension items that I create. “Auto Dimension” is also a tool that I employ when I have a large number of points or diameters that I need to program. If I am doing anything unusual in the program, like a mathematical construction, then I use the “Document” comment to make note of it. Show Movie – 10_BoxSelection
ReportingYou will want to decide on the report format, that is appropriate to your part before creating your program. The reason for this is tied to the behaviour of the CAD only style of report. This report style makes use of saved views in your program to display the CAD model in your report. My workflow, when using the CAD report templates, is to Save and then recall an appropriate view for each area on my part that I dimension. I do this before creating the dimension and then PC-DMIS will use that saved view for that area of the report. Show PC-DMIS Program - Reporting
Testing the Finished ProgramA critical step in the programming workflow is to test out your program. PC-DMIS has a very nice set of collision detection tools that will allow you to simulate the inspection and machine motion offline. You can also use this tool to “Fix” any moves that look suspect.
