Inspection software supports 5-axis scanning
Inspection software includes support for 5-axis scanning with Renishaw's REVO probe, using multiple alignments within parts or assemblies, improved CMM connectivity and better report generation.
Revo uses unique five-axis scanning technology to maximise CMM throughput whilst maintaining high system accuracy.
Unlike conventional scanning methods, which rely on speeding up the motion of the CMM's three axes in order to scan quickly, Revo uses synchronised motion and five-axis software to minimise the dynamic errors of CMM motion at ultra-high scanning speeds.
Renishaw claims that high accuracy inspection is now made possible at up to 500 mm/s scanning speed.
PowerINSPECT is already the world's leading hardware-independent inspection software for the verification of prototypes, tooling and production samples against CAD data.
By supporting new technical developments like Revo, Delcam believes that the software can reinforce its leading position.
The combination of PowerINSPECT and Revo is expected to give most benefit when it is used to measure complex shapes generated by five-axis machining.
Typical examples include inspection of turbine blades and measurement of engine ports. Request free introductory details about products from Delcam ...
