Virtual DMIS Generates, Verifies Inspection Programs Off-Line
Full CMM and probe kinematics simulation, program verification, and optimization can be performed in advance of part inspection demand, reducing leadtimes and increasing the productive utilization of the CMM. Additional probe path simulation provides effective program prove out.
Electronic feature-based measurement is achieved by selecting the object to be measured. Auto feature recognition, nominal feature definition, and single "click" automatic entry to the nominal feature database are seamlessly achieved. A full 3D scaled dynamic representation of the CMM and probing system from an extensive on-line library provides real world simulation and effective programming tools. An added feature is collision protection that provides foolproof anti-crash assurance protection.
Virtual DMIS is powered by PC-based 32-bit technology. It combines the latest software development tools, CAD and CMM industry standards to enable seamless collection, analysis, visualization, and communication of quality data throughout the manufacturing environment. Virtual DMIS provides graphical programming, intelligent measuring, surfacing, pictorial output, and SPC, fully linking 3D CAD data with the CMM inspection process.
