DCC GAGE Offers Cost Effective Automated Measurement
The DCC GAGE can be used as a stand-alone, walk-up station for first piece inspection, layout inspection and tool set up, or as a flexible gage. Its large measurement envelope can handle workpiece sizes up to 22" X 29" X 19". With a speed of 12 in./second and acceleration of 11.8 in./second 2, the DCC GAGE easily keeps pace with machine tools. In many applications, the DCC GAGE can improve inspection efficiency up to 45 percent, significantly reducing machine tool idle time.
The DCC GAGE comes equipped with PC-DMIS PRO™ software. This powerful new software features an easy-to-use, shop-floor graphics interface that guides operators through part programming, setup and execution of the inspection routine.
Advanced graphics reporting functions assist users in configuring inspection results to meet specific data analysis needs. The DCC GAGE is also equipped with a TESASTAR probe, a computer system and a 15" monitor. The purchase price includes installation, training and a one-year warranty on parts and service.
For advanced measurement and inspection applications, users can upgrade the DCC GAGE with the addition of PC-DMIS CAD™ or PC-DMIS CAD++™ software.
Part programs can be created directly from CAD models using native CAD system algorithms and tools with either the DIRECT CAD TRANSLATOR™ (DCT) or the DIRECT CAD INTERFACE™ (DCI) options to both PC-DMIS CAD and PC-DMIS CAD++. DCT serves as a translator while DCI eliminates the need for any translator by using the original CAD model, assuring no accuracy is lost when design data is used for part programming. The result is reduced programming time, greater measuring accuracy and improved inspection throughput and efficiency.
