Laser system inspects large surfaces in detail
Laser scanning inspection system can collect and analyse in excess of 20,000 points per second, allowing more detailed inspection of geometric and surface features when compared with touch probes.
Inspection software gets PTB approval
Soon to be released version of PowerINSPECT 3.0 inspection and reverse-engineering software has received certification from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Germany.
An operator simply contacts three pre-qualified points on a part, tool or fixture with the ROMER portable CMM probe and TooLOK launches, instantly recognizing and aligning the part, loading the CAD file and inspection routine and telling the operator where to begin measuring.
Pre-qualifying a part, tool, or fixture is also quick and easy.
The TooLOK wizard allows users to generate a "LOK" for a fixture, gage, part or tool.
The LOK then serves as the reference between the part and its associated files.
Once the LOK is established, an inspection routine can easily be created, allowing other users to follow that routine and ensuring reliable measuring consistency.
TooLOK eliminates confusion created by having to search through hundreds of files and routines for an inspection task.
TooLOK is an advanced add-on utility for PowerINSPECT 3.05, our premier inspection and reverse engineering software that enables rapid inspection of complex 3D parts and generates CAD-to-part comparisons.
TooLOK is 100% compatible with previously programmed PowerINSPECT inspection routines.
