Check out the attached picture. I need to measure the radius of the blue surfaces. There are two parts, but when mated they have a gap between them, meaning the walls of the parts don't go vertical, so I can't measure with calipers, dial bore gauges, etc..
My original plan was to use gauge pins that measure at the low side and the high side of the tolerance (+/-.002", incidently, on a R.477") and simply lay them in the part and use a loupe to see where they make contact with the part. I think that would've worked fine, but the gauge pins are taking WAY too long to get here and I need to get these parts out soon.
I looked through all the literature I have, but didn't see a suitable probing cycle. Anyone know how I could probe the radius at 3 points and have the probe tell me what size it is? One of the features' axis will be parallel to the Y axis of the mill.
Beyond that, any other ideas how to measure this? When I accepted the job, the tolerance on those radii were +/-.010".
And yes, he saw a hefty price increase as punishment.
