ALWAYS GET THE ALIGNMENT RIGHT

Surface and cross-section best-fit

Measurement object best-fit

Multiple device position alignment

Best-fit measured surfaces and cross-sections to their nominal definition, with the option of constraining in rotation, translation, or within a tolerance zone.

Construct your alignment from features, datum targets, surface points, or edge points, and use weights and axial constraints to optimize the results.

Align your 3D measurement device while compensating for temperature changes, and use bundle adjustment to maximize the global accuracy.

Universal data handling

Deviation analysis using color maps

Feature-based dimensioning

Extract measured dimensions from point clouds, polygonal models, or probed points, and nominal dimensions from a CAD model or a measured part.

Smart GD&T

Profile and Flush & Gap gauging

Airfoil gauging

Benefit from a smart GD&T engine based on the latest ASME and ISO standards, with advanced DRF, material condition, datum modifier, and tolerance zone capabilities.

Evaluate advanced dimensions on fillets, design feature lines, and sheet metal part assemblies, such as radius, angle, bending, sharpness, flush, and gap.

Extract advanced features on fan, compressor, and turbine blades to control and analyze dimensions, such as edge radius, thickness, length, width, angle, and area.

AUTOMATE QUALITY CONTROL TASKS

Measure multiple pieces using different 3D measurement devices, and store them in a single project folder using an optimal format that minimizes disk space usage.

Use the powerful Play Inspection and Sequence Editor tools to automate measurement workflows by ordering and triggering operations.

Add macro scripts to your measurement workflows to apply proprietary techniques, provide special feedback, or interconnect to other systems.

Statistical Process Control (SPC)

Organize projects containing hundreds of dimensional and GD&T controls into small and logical groups of controls, with individual controls tied to specific alignments and coordinate systems.

Access a global list of controls sorted by characteristic index, and display critical results in 3D with the preferred point of view for easier dimensional analysis and reporting.

Assess the repeatability and predictability of your manufacturing processes with multipiece statistics automatically calculated for object dimensions and surface deviations.

Maximize the productivity of your scanning arms

Leverage our disruptive laser tracker innovations

Tens of thousands of portable arm operators worldwide enjoy the reliability and efficiency of our scanning and probing workflows every day.

We provide innovative laser-tracker-based scanning technologies that greatly accelerate the analysis and dimensional control of your large parts and tools.

Scan large structures rapidly using spherical digitizing

Tailor measurement methods to your processes

Minimize rework time when assembling large aerospace structures by scanning them using a spherical grid digitizer and simulating the assembly process beforehand.

Integrate additional measurement devices or in-house proprietary measurement techniques by creating and embedding macro scripts within your measurement objects.

Generate high-quality surface scans

Ensure sufficient scanned data for reliable feature extraction

Produce great scanning results under all circumstances thanks to our unique real-time quality meshing technology that computes and displays quality metrics in real time.

Get real-time feedback on scanned surface, curve, and circumference coverage with guidance graphics that indicate where an operator should capture additional scans.

Implement repeatable probing workflows

Guide assembly building with real-time measurements

Use images, text, 3D graphics, and tolerances to deploy guided probing inspection projects that improve operator efficiency and ensure measurement repeatability on the shop floor.

Accurately track part location during assembly using digital readouts simultaneously displaying real-time measured reflector positions from multiple laser trackers.

Reduce the complexity of your CMM programming tasks

Accelerate the sequencing process while staying in control

We deliver shorter and easy-to-understand CNC CMM sequences, as our nominal features, dimensions, and reports are created and managed outside of the sequence editor.

Select objects to be measured and let the sequence editor automatically find the proper tool orientations, the optimal measurement order, and collision-free measurement paths.

Fix sequencing mistakes intuitively

Avoid potential collisions automatically

Our intelligent sequence editor provides immediate feedback when illogical or incorrect operations are detected, and lets you repair detected mistakes in a single click.

We offer powerful collision analysis and avoidance technologies that detect potential tool collisions in real time and automatically modify the toolpaths to prevent them.

Configure a CNC CMM sequence for any machine in your park

Protect your CNC CMM and its accessories

Build your measurement sequence once for a specific CNC CMM configuration, then use our conversion tool to automatically adapt it to any CNC CMM brand or type.

Avoid costly damages by detecting, in real time, potential tool collisions with parts or fixtures prior to launching a CNC measurement operation online.

Add measurement objects to a sequence effortlessly

Complement your CNC CMM projects with portable metrology data

To perform additional measurements, just create and select new measurement objects and let the sequence editor optimally insert them within your CNC CMM sequence.

Use a portable laser scanner to measure the fixtures for collision analysis purposes, or a scanning arm to measure surfaces and features that can’t be reached by the CMM.
