InnovMetric Software, a leading provider of intelligent 3D metrology software solutions, announces the launch of a new entry-level package, PolyWorks|Inspector Gauging, to help manufacturing organizations collect and manage data from digital handheld measuring instruments from their PolyWorks digital ecosystem. In addition to being an original instrument measurement solution that offers the common features of digital handheld measurement instrument manufacturers' software, PolyWorks|Inspector Gauging also provides powerful CAD-based tools, 3D measurement guidance, and nominal feature creation for performing 3D inspections using digital gauge measurements.
"The need to integrate data from digital hand-held measuring instruments into PolyWorks became apparent when customers began implementing the PolyWorks|DataLoop MC data management solution, indique Marc Soucy, président d’InnovMetric. Early PolyWorks|DataLoop users saw the efficiency gains they would get by integrating all types of measurement data, regardless of their source, within our enterprise solution. We've made their wish come true in the form of a new package specifically for industrial instrument measurement applications. Once all of your point cloud and CMM data is stored, collected and managed in a centralized database, subject matter experts in different fields across the enterprise can collaborate like never before, using real-time 3D measurement information and comprehensive MSP statistics, via a web interface, to quickly solve production quality issues."
PolyWorks|Inspector Gauging provides powerful CAD-based inspection tools that facilitate the preparation and execution of measurement sequences as well as the review of measurement results. Users can thus:
- Import and display 3D CAD models in IGES or STEP format;
- Create 2D or 3D nominal geometric entities with a single click on a CAD model; Use the created geometric entities to specify the dimensions that will be measured by instruments;
- Profiter d’un guidage des mesures 3D complet lors de la mesure par instrument d’une dimension ;
- Réviser et partager des résultats de mesure en 3D à l’aide des vues de contrôles.
PolyWorks|Inspector Gauging offre également l’ensemble complet des fonctionnalités couramment utilisées dans les logiciels de mesure par instruments, y compris :
- Automated data collection from digital hand-held measuring instruments, using Bluetooth-enabled data collector plug-ins and input dialogs;
- L’entrée manuelle des données de mesures pour les jauges analogues et les vérifications visuelles ; La création et l’exécution de séquences de mesure ;
- Measurement guidance with photos and text instructions; Formatted PDF reports and intelligent Excel integration;
- Des capacités de mesure de lots d’items et la maîtrise statistique des procédés (MSP).
For existing PolyWorks customers, PolyWorks|Inspector Gauging represents an opportunity to unify their 3D measurement community, create synergies that reduce operating expenses, and share best practices, data, and measurement results efficiently:
- The offline preparation team that creates inspection projects for portable metrology devices or CMMs can also create measurement ranges for digital handheld measuring instruments.
- Since PolyWorks offers a universal 3D measurement workflow for all the measuring devices it supports, all PolyWorks users can easily use the digital handheld measuring instruments without additional training.
- L’intégration des données d’instruments de mesure manuels numériques dans PolyWorks permet de rassembler les données de toutes les sources dans les projets PolyWorks|Inspector et de partager les résultats de mesure en 3D à l’échelle de l’entreprise.
