MeasureMax+ inspection software combines ease of use with powerful dimensional measurement capability.

Sheffield MeasureMax+ dimensional inspection software handles a full range of measurement and analysis tasks in a single, easy-to-use package. MeasureMax + is the ideal founda-tion for a CMM system, as it can seamlessly and automatically integrate most kinds of probes, peripheral devices, input sources and output formats without long job changeovers or costly downtime.

Windows based
With its Windows 95 and NT interface, MeasureMax+ offers an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that is quickly becoming a universally recognized inspection format. The MeasureMax+ IDE combines a full range of functions for

  • Part inspection.
  • Automatically creating a measurement program through its Quick Teach function.
  • Part programming from CAD files or through Microsoft Visual Basic.
  • Real-time statistical analysis and process control.
  • Reverse engineering.
  • Touch probe scanning.
  • Best fit analysis.
With its CAD file capability, MeasureMax+ permits graphical off-line programming and enables full process simulation and program verification/optimization before the first parts are produced. With integrated Microsoft Visual Basic, MeasureMax+ allows users to build their own development tools to customize data and test results. Sheffield's DMIS run engine is fully compatible with the current ANSI standard.

Ideal for shop floor applications
Single Touch Interface (STI) uses a graphic display touch screen interface instead of a keyboard and mouse, so that running a part program is as easy as touching a picture of the part on a monitor. STI also displays measurement results beside the part picture for easy identification of out-of-tolerance areas. MeasureMax+ runs part programs from all current and previous Sheffield and Cordax systems, such as OFI, FLB, DirectInspect, SHEFFNET, MeasureMax and MaxLite. It runs on every Sheffield and Cordax CMM ever made, including the new Discovery and Endeavor machines, as well as many other CMMs.
