PC-DMIS LASER

PC-DMIS can be used in combination with supported laser probes to measure features on a part or to collect data. Laser probes allow you to easily and rapidly collect millions of points of data (called clouds of points). These clouds of points are then used within PC-DMIS for surface contour maps, export to reverse engineering packages, and creation of constructed features.

PC-DMIS VISION

Designed specifically for non-contact measuring applications, PC-DMIS Vision will function on these optical machines:

• ROI Onyx
• ROI Datastar
• ROI OMIS/OMIS II
• TESA VISIO 1
• TESA VISIO 300 Manual
• TESA VISIO 300 DCC
• Mycrona Red Line
• Mycrona Blue Line
• Mycrona Silver Line
• All standard PC-based OGP machines (e.g. Smartscope, Flash, Avant)
• CMM-V video probe (if your CMM supports a laser probe it also supports the CMM-V)

PC-DMIS INSPECTION PLANNER

A cornerstone of the Enterprise Metrology Solutions suite, the PC-DMIS Inspection planner is an evolutionary step towards bottom line time savings for inspection.

PC-DMIS Inspection planner is integrated directly within the CAD system to allow the CAD engineer to create a definition of features to inspect, datums to use, and the proper GD&T to apply. This electronic inspection plan can then be used throughout the entire inspection process making it a truly paperless task.
