Software links with CMMs for accurate inspection
Delcam has joined forces with inspection specialist Europac to provide manufacturing companies with a low-cost retrofit solution that will cut their inspection costs and improve their quality.
Inspection software stands comparison
The latest upgrade to Delcam's PowerInspect inspection software includes support for the inspection of components, prototypes and tooling against triangle files.
Compatibility with AIMS will allow seamless sharing of CAD geometry, inspection plans and measurement results back and forth between PowerInspect and other hardware and software platforms.
It will, therefore, make it easier for companies to introduce PowerInspect alongside any existing inspection systems that are being used, either within an organisation or along its supply chain.
Similarly, it will simplify the comparison of results obtained from PowerInspect with any legacy data collected using older systems.
The AIMS Metrology suite, which was developed jointly by The Boeing Company and Metronor Group, comprises the software components of a closed-loop process for defining inspection, measurement and assembly plans, measuring the quality of manufactured parts according to the defined plans, storing the measurement results, and generating process capability charts and graphs from the stored results.
It, therefore, permits tightly co-ordinated development and manufacturing programmes involving a multitude of international participants with a range of systems and equipment.
The first companies to harness the advantages of AIMS include the Lockheed Martin Joint Strike Fighter programme and Boeing. Request a free brochure from Delcam ...
