Feb 26, 2013 Using parameter-driven graphical interface, PC-DMIS Gear v2.5 accelerates inspections of helical spur, bevel gears, and pinions. Expert and non-expert operators can build gear inspection routines by completing rules-driven form, then choosing desired inspection report(s) from pre-defined, standard formats. Users can also create measurement alignment and probe qualification routines to completely automate inspection process. Software is compatible with standard CMMs and also runs on vision CMMs.

Scanning Probe Head measures complex feature parts.

Jul 16, 2012 Helping to manage manufacturing data, PC-DMIS 2012 features ClearanceCube, which attaches virtual envelope around part being measured and guides probe to avoid area. When CAD files are revised, design changes are highlighted automatically. Users can scan planes, circles, cylinders, and cones from AutoFeature dialog box, with automatic setting of speed, point density, and filtering parameters. Also, part features can be searched by ID, type, program sequence, or time in various dialog boxes.

Portable CMM offers point repeatability values from 0.016 mm.

Hexagon Metrology Inc.    North Kingstown, RI 02852
Jun 01, 2012 Available in 7 lengths from 1.5-4.5 m, ROMER Absolute Arm uses absolute encoders that recognize position of arm at all times, eliminating homing procedures. SmartLock technology lets users securely lock arm in any intermediate position to facilitate inspections in physically limited areas, and automatic probe recognition lets operators change probes within seconds and without recalibration. Accessible battery pack minimizes downtime for changes.
