QUALITY GET MORE OUT OF A MANUAL CMM Chances are, there are more than a few operations out there that have more than a few manual CMMs. So Renishaw ( http://www.renishaw.com/en ) is doing something to enhance the productivity of those machines via its MODUS 2 manual CMM upgrade kits. The MODUS 2 MMI—an interface— allows users to access measurement information in a readily usable form. The software, which works with Renishaw's range of touch-trigger probes, displays the full virtual environment. This means the CMM, probe head and part fixture. Say there is an inspection program for the part. In this case, MODUS 2 will provide prompts that will guide the user through the required sequence. If there is no program, then it offers a choice to the user, including selecting a feature from the CAD model or taking points on the part and letting the software automatically determine what the feature type is. As for hardware, there are several kits available, such as a controller, encoder components, three-way footswitch (for hands-free interaction) and software. METROLOGY SOLUTIONS TAKE CONTROL OVER QUALITY. S O L U T I O N S F O R D I M E N S I O N A L I N S P E C T I O N O N S H O P F L O O R S . 1.855.939.4446 www.creaform3d.com 44
