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.
