SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
VERIFY YOUR SOFTWARE
1-1
Does your software have calibration routines which
compensate for stylus on centre errors ?
If not you must set the probe stylus on centre mechanically.
Note :
When using probe styli which are not on spindle centre.
Spindle orientation positioning repeatability is important
to avoid probe measurement errors.
1-2
Does your software compensate for probe triggering
characteristics in all measuring directions ?
2-1
JOB SET-UP REQUIREMENTS
Does the software automatically adjust the program
co-ordinate system to the relevant set-up feature on
the component ?
3-1
INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS
Simple to use canned cycles for standard features :
Bore / Boss.
Simple to use canned cycles for optional features :
Angle measurement.
Vector 3 point bore / Boss.
Vector single surface.
Good software will allow the following functions :
❋ Update work co-ordinate systems for positioning.
❋ Report measured sizes and update tool offsets for automatic
tool offset compensations.
❋ Print data in the form of an inspection report to an external
PC / printer.
❋
Set tolerances on features.
Web / Pocket.
Single surface.
