Automated CMM Inspection Program Creation With Imported PMI Data –
Summary
Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division has announced the main release version QUINDOS 2020.1 of the most powerful metrology software for special geometries and the most flexible solution for measuring tasks ranging from standard inspection to complex powertrain applications. In this latest release, QUINDOS breaks new ground in program creation by integrating a number of innovative features. QUINDOS interprets the metrology-relevant information from the 3D data and automatically associates the resulting features with the measurement and evaluation methods. Information on the technical drawing can thus be integrated as PMIs in the IGES or STEP model and used as a basis for the automated part program or procedure creation in the new option. QUINDOS 2020.1 introduces a new smarter interface, which utilities geometry and context-specific intelligent menus to guide the user through the programming task.
