Optical µCMM micro coordinate measuring system for automatic measurement and evaluation of 3D data
It is all about “What do I measure?” instead of “How do I measure?” The new µCMM operating software MetMaX is based on this core question. The operation of the micro coordinate measuring machine is designed in a way that operators do not need to have any special metrology or user knowledge to make the best possible use of the measuring machine. The knowledge of how to measure and evaluate 3D data is part of the µCMM software MetMaX.
This is how it works
As soon as the CAD data set of a component has been uploaded, the user selects by mouse click which GD&T or PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) characteristics are to be measured. µCMM uses MetMaX to automatically configure the ideal measurement strategy for 3D measurement of the part. The µCMM software autonomously calculates probing directions (from above or laterally), tilt and rotation angles and travel directions in XYZ. Before the measurement is started a virtual simulation ensures a collision-free measurement sequence. The measurement is started by the operator with a mouse click and is then fully automatic. After the part has been measured in 3D, the data is automatically evaluated. If, for example, form deviations are to be verified, µCMM decides independently with MetMaX which geometric form (cylinder, plane, sphere, etc.) must be fitted. A reporting system which complies with modern industry standards and can be configured user-specifically gives an ok/not ok result.
