Metris releases multi-sensor metrology software
With new enhancements in 3D laser scanning support, Camio 6.0 strengthens its position as a multi-sensor software platform for off-line programming and on-line inspection.
Metris streamlines digital inspection process
Metris has released Focus Scan 5.1 and Inspection 9.1, which streamline the digital inspection process and embed it into the CAD-centric design-through-manufacturing process.
With this release Studio further increases it's multi sensor functionality and the range of metrology hardware that can be succesfully ported into the software.
The Camio installation now provides three Windows local user groups.
The administrator, supervisor and operator.

Car builder quadruples scanning productivity
Using a Metris Modelmaker D scanner for non-contact 3D measurement of large vehicle parts, a French automotive plant has quadrupled its scanning productivity.
An extremely useful feature for the protection of vital configuration data and for the output of set up data within the Launchpad for LK Q-Das package.
A major breakthrough achieved in this release is access to manufacturing information.
Version 4.3 now offers this access direct from CATIA v5 and Pro/E.
Support available is for reading data annotations such as text,datum geometric tolerance and roughness as well as hole features.
Extraction of the PMI data allows the user to give a list of the GDandT tolerances applied to datum features and ACIS hole features before inserting them into the DMIS program.
With the added inclusion of drag and drop capability the whole process of measuring datum features has been made easier right at the very heart of the programming level.
Further developments include the integration of the Metris Laser scanners and improved performance of the crash protection simulation.
Key features can now be scanned directly, evaluated and extracted using construction commands and a new 2D configurable view is available for online use that allows the setting of laser intensity, quality, minimum signal strength and extraction intensity.
With menus provided for the sensor, Point clouds and improvements to the Laser probe qualification Camio 4.3 strengthens its multi sensor capability and the flexibility for users to select the correct probe for their application.
Working with D-cubed, now part of Unigraphics, improvements to the simulation and collision detection capability have also been made.
Maximum user control to easily configure the speed of simulation is provided using the new simulation rate option.
This allows the user to modify the speed at any point during a simulation to give the user maximum visualisation with complete control.
Camio 4.3 also addresses the aerospace need for wing spar thickness measurement.
The creation of wing spar thickness programs for inspection has been greatly simplified with the inclusion of a new tool.
With this tool the user selects the measurement plane and the surfaces that they want to inspect.
The tool then generates one or two rows of points along a curve on the surface, which the user can then manipulate, before building the sequence of point-pairs on both sides of the rib.
A key feature of the development of the Camio Studio software suite has been the integration of other metrology equipment onto the platform.
This is further strengthened with the new release and support is now provided for the Krypton K-CMM, the Faro Arm SDK (USB), the Romer (FR) and support for known and unknown scanning on Zeiss CMM's equipped with the VAST head, increasing the versatility of Camio Studio for a wide variety of users and applications.
