Delcam Showed PowerINSPECT for Renishaw's REVO(TM) at Control
Share:
Delcam previewed a special version of its PowerINSPECT inspection software for Renishaw's revolutionary new REVO(TM) measuring head and probe system at the Control exhibition held in Sinsheim, Germany. The new version of PowerINSPECT is currently under development, with a full release planned for at the EMO exhibition in September.
REVO(TM) uses unique five-axis scanning technology to maximize CMM throughput whilst maintaining high system accuracy. Unlike conventional scanning methods, which rely on speeding up the motion of the CMM's three axes in order to scan quickly, REVO(TM) uses synchronized motion and five-axis software to minimize the dynamic errors of CMM motion at ultra-high scanning speeds. Renishaw claims that high accuracy inspection is now made possible at up to 500 mm/s scanning speed.
PowerINSPECT is already the world's leading hardware-independent inspection software for the verification of prototypes, tooling and production samples against CAD data. By supporting new technical developments like REVO(TM), Delcam believes that the software can reinforce its leading position. The combination of PowerINSPECT and REVO(TM) is expected to give most benefit when it is used to measure complex shapes generated by five-axis machining. Typical examples include inspection of turbine blades and measurement of engine ports.
