InnovMetric Launches PolyWorks® Metrology Suite 2019
Facilitates Deployment of PolyWorks|Inspector™ in Production and Accelerates CNC CMM Measurement Sequences
A InnovMetric Software Inc., a maior fornecedora de soluções universais de software para metrologia 3D, anunciou hoje o lançamento da versão de 2019 do PolyWorks Metrology Suite. Essa nova versão principal oferece novos scripts para a medição de objetos que abrem as portas para todas as técnicas de medição personalizadas dos clientes dentro do fluxo de trabalho padrão do PolyWorks, e também uma nova abordagem com sequenciamento assistido que promete reduzir muito o tempo necessário para configurar sequências de CMMs.
“Simplificando a vida de nossos clientes e, ao mesmo tempo, mantendo os clientes no controle total. Esta frase resume a filosofia de desenvolvimento por trás do PolyWorks Metrology Suite e da versão 2019 mais recente,” observou Marc Soucy, presidente da InnovMetric. E ele acrescentou, “Com sua fantásticas inovações que combinam simplicidade aumentada com importantes economias de tempo, estamos orgulhosos de levar a produtividade dos usuários do PolyWorks Metrology Suite a novos patamares.”
Deploy PolyWorks|Inspector™ in any production environment thanks to powerful object measurement scripts
When controlling quality within a production context, customer requirements are generally more detailed and stricter compared to product engineering requirements. They impose a level of customization that has led users to deploy PolyWorks in their production environment through the use of large and complex macro scripts that execute complete inspections.
With PolyWorks Metrology Suite 2019, users can now easily adapt PolyWorks|Inspector™ to their production environment by creating short scripted measurement methods that serve to:
- Define their own set of custom measurement techniques;
- Support all their gauging devices;
- Simplify the measurement acquisition process; and
- Provide additional measurement guidance with enhanced measurement feedback to quality control operators.
These custom measurement methods are embedded directly in measurement objects where they benefit from the standard PolyWorks measurement workflow and can rely on powerful and reliable PolyWorks standard components to guide operators, play inspections, update projects, and report results.
This approach leaves users free to build their own library of custom measurement methods that meet all of their manufacturing requirements.
Create complete CMM measurement sequences in minutes while staying in control
In order to measure parts with a CNC CMM, measurement specialists need to define measurement objects as well as a sequence of CMM operations to measure these objects, which can be very time consuming.
PolyWorks Metrology Suite 2019 proposes a novel assisted sequencing approach that automates a large part of the process. Measurement specialists simply select and add the desired measurement objects to the PolyWorks|Inspector™ sequence editor to automatically obtain:
- The optimal measurement order that minimizes measurement time;
- The proper tool orientation for each measurement; and
- A collision-free measurement path with respect to the part and its fixtures.
PolyWorks also offers a new object insertion tool that inserts new measurement objects at the optimal position within an existing measurement sequence. This tool significantly decreases the time needed to bring adjustments to a sequence when a new CAD model revision is integrated into an existing project.
Specialists can decide to obtain assistance for an entire inspection or to proceed area by area, staying in complete control of their sequence. This innovative approach eliminates the need for time-consuming reviews of sequences produced by fully automatic sequencing tools.
