SAMPLE FILES

CRAB SHELL SURFACE    nominal size is  1" x 1"   ( 25 mm  x  25 mm )

 

the original scan was approximately   25,000 data points

typical  0.008"  point to point,  0.010"   line to line interval

surface was processed to  120  U points  x  120 V points

test model provided by IDEO Palo Alto, CA

 

WAVE TEST SURFACE    nominal size is 72 mm  x  72 mm (  2.8" x 2.8"  )

( IGES  file is in millimeters   !!!!!! )

 

 

The original scan was   20,654 data points , effective  probe radius = 0.937 mm ( 0.037 " ).

Typical  0.25 mm ( 0.010" ) point to point,  1.00 mm ( 0.039" )   line to line interval.

The original raw data had 274 to 300 data points per scan line with the datum at center of ball.

The first step is to grid the input so that all lines have the same number of points ..... 301 per line.

The next step is to calculate the local slope at each point and find the actual contact point on

the surface. This surface data set was then sparsed.....thinned out to 19 rows of 31 points each.

 

The file contains a few rows of data points which show some of the key advantages of touch

trigger probe digitizing . . . the raw data set is extremely accurate, ordered and without noise.
