InnovMetric, a global specialist in 3D metrology software solutions, has announced the international launch of PolyWorks MS 2020, its 3D dimensional analysis and quality control solution.
PolyWorks MS 2020 offers item batch editing functions that accelerate the preparation of robust inspection projects and facilitate data analysis. This major new release also enhances the universality of its scanning center by integrating new measuring instruments, and increases the productivity of CNC CMMs by speeding up the execution of measurement sequences.
"Successfully deploying the PolyWorks enterprise platform in the marketplace requires more than just closing large deals. You also have to assume a huge responsibilitysays Marc Soucy, President of InnovMetric. Every year we have a mission, because our customers expect us to improve their day-to-day efficiency, offer them the new dimensional controls they need, and extend the universality of our platform by adding and improving our interfaces for 3D measuring devices. With PolyWorks 2020, we have once again achieved our goal."
Improve project configuration and analysis by leveraging multiple scanned models
PolyWorks|Inspector now lets users modify and add data shifts, measurement objects and inspection reports for several measured items at once.
This new feature makes it easier for PolyWorks users to prepare robust inspection projects that take all items into account. After creating a project and measuring the first items, users may come across a problematic item for which the object extraction parameters are not suitable. The new item batch editing technology enables users to optimize the extraction and adjustment parameters of such an object until satisfactory results are obtained, and then apply these changes to all previously measured items in a single operation, to ensure that the new parameters have no negative impact on other items.
Item batch editing enables you to quickly assess a production failure by analyzing the items already manufactured. When a failed item is detected, new reports and measurement objects are usually required to obtain additional information. PolyWorks 2020 now enables users to add these new objects and reports to a subset of selected items in a single operation, and to analyze object measurement results, trend graphs and statistics for these items, in order to better understand what caused the failure.
Take advantage of the increased universality of the portable metrology solution
PolyWorks MS 2020 expands its portable metrology processes and adds interfaces for new instruments, extending the limits of the PolyWorks|Inspector platform:
- Build planes and lines from previously measured objects and access the complete GD&T toolbox and fitting statistics;
- Activate the use of Creaform laser scanners from the Play Inspection tool;
- Take advantage of high-performance measurement methods that optimize the functionality of the Leica ATS600 tracker;
- Connect to a MicroRidge MobileCollect wireless system to add manual gauge measurements to inspection projects.
Increase the productivity of CNC CMMs
More and more CNC CMM users adopt PolyWorks MS when they discover its user-friendliness and performance. Version 2020 enhances and diversifies its CNC CMM solution to help users increase productivity in ultra-competitive markets by :
- Faster CNC CMM sequences for probing in hover mode (up to 50 % faster) and for laser scanning;
- Ensuring that CMM positions can be reached by the machine to avoid invalid movements when defining a sequence off-line, or to support a sequence transposed to a CMM with a separate measurement volume;
- Offering I++ control of laser scanners on CMMs from Hexagon and Zeiss.
Accelerate inspection tasks
PolyWorks MS 2020 offers enhanced tools and new technologies that eliminate guesswork and help users work faster.
They can now :
- Optimize and expand their GD&T toolbox with improved algorithms that speed up two-point distance calculations and produce more accurate and repeatable results, in addition to supporting a new common area modifier;
- Quickly discover and master interactive modes with new customizable context-sensitive toolbars and enhanced guidance;
- Easily share custom toolbars and macros with colleagues and partners; Link batch inspection projects to Excel spreadsheets with PolyWorks|ReportLoopTM; Integrate mixed-reality displays into their guided measurement processes with PolyWorks|AR.
