IN PROCESS MACHINE METROLOGY
Programming

- Run CMM Style Part Measurement on Machine Tools up to 5 Axis by programming from CAD models offline.
- Collision Avoidance for all CAD and Probe elements in Graphics to prevent probe crashes.
- Automatic path Generation and caculation of all 2D and 3D features including sphere, cylinder, circle, slot, taurus and cone.
- Graphically simulate programs before post processing.
- Automatic indexing of 4th and 5th axis for feature vectors.
Reporting
- Generate complete inspection reports as the part is measured.
- Use built in SPC to perform statistical control or feed data to other SPC programs.
- Graphical template reports show elements in 3D view directly at the feature.
- Connect directly to upload data to machine and display results in real time.
Reduce Scrap & Rework
- Verify Parts before the scrap is created.
- Correct problems before they occur.
- Reduce part manufacturing and verification cycle times.
- No need to remove part to send to CMM for part measurement.
In-process Feedback for Process Improvement
- Calculate any measurement parameter and update variables on CNC.
- Calculate work offsets and update on the machine with direct feedback.
- Observe and correct for tool wear and tear, automatically feedback to machine.
- Use profile measurements to measure tool deflection write compensation directly to the CNC
