Vision metrologists now have the same capabilities long available to users of PC-DMIS CMM. In addition, because PC-DMIS Vision is a part of the Enterprise Metrology Solutions (EMS) family of software products, users have access to a wide range of additional analytical and reporting capabilities not available on competitive packages.
PC-DMIS Vision makes off-line programming a reality. Users can develop and prove their inspection programs off-line while leaving their measurement machine free for inspection. Users select geometry and define program parameters by pointing and clicking on a CAD model. There’s no need to do a lot of typing and, because PC-DMIS Vision automatically extracts information from the model, it eliminates a major source of programming errors.
PC-DMIS Vision accurately simulates camera views and lighting. When programming on either the machine or off-line users, have full control over system parameters like lighting and magnification.
PC-DMIS Vision has the unique capability to reproduce precisely what the camera will see as it measures a part. When simulating program execution, programmers can switch between a CAD view and a virtual camera view, which actually changes in step with the inspection program.
