Renishaw probe multi axis alignment

[jerms]

Good morning all. 

We have some parts that we are trying to save....  A little back story, processes were not followed, and/or parts were not inspected. Someone tried to save time by rough drilling the bores in a secondary operation. The drilled holes walked, part was not square and are drilled .015 under finished diameter. We have ±.005 on hole to hole location. The holes have diameter tolerance of .001 and the contour is +.025 stock. I believe it is possible to save the parts if I can get them aligned on the 5 axis. So here we are. 

            We are trying to align the part in both A&C axis by probing. I have written a program to probe the two holes, calculate the adjustment angle for C and rotate the offset accordingly Then pick up XY zero again.  Worked great, except I also need to rotate the A axis.  That's where I stopped. I think I would be better off using G68 rotation vs. adjusting the offset. I am not sure if I can use G68 rotation in both A&C axis simultaneously? 

Does anyone have experience doing anything similar, would you care to share some insight?   Thank you!

 

 

Below is the C axis rotation program if you're curious.

Once you've set your C axis, you can go in and take 2 circles at different depths of a known distance.  Then use trigonometry to calculate the amount of A axis angle to move.  Once moved, pick up your XYZ again.
