PC-DMIS NC Gage

Milestone for metrology - Teach-in programming for everyone!

For many years it has been recognized that productivity in
manufacturing processes can be increased through clever usage
of on-machine probing. Real productivity gains have however
mostly been associated with rapid part setup. Additional gains
from reduced manual inspection and efficient in-process checks
have been more difficult to implement on a wide basis. For this
reason, m&h and Wilcox Associates teamed up to make using
on-machine probing much simpler and more efficient.

Operator-friendly Measurement on
the Controller

Easy to understand user interface

Same user interface on all controls

Operated via panel softkey or touch screen

Both interactive and automatic measurements

available

Teach-in to Record Measurements

Dialog based interactive teach-in method

to easily generate measurement cycles

Eliminates the use of difficult macros

Learned cycles can be stored on the control

and recalle at any time

Reporting

Measurement results are displayed in

a simple ASCII format

Color coded results in the report show

whether the item is in tolerance

The report can be sent to a hard drive or

printer on the control or network

Proven Accuracy

Built on the PTB-certified mathematics

directly from the PC-DMIS CMM software

3D and 2D Probe Calibration on a sphere

or ring

Flexible number of points for feature

measurement

Extended Feature Measurement

All basic geometric measurement functions

available

Including extended functions not previously

available on any control

Expandable to include advanced features

upon request

Useful Power

Editable program with Cut/Paste, Edit/Delete

functions

Support for any number of clearance planes

and points

Program overview/execute to review program

contents and step, block or fully execute

programs

Tree view of program for easy access

to all important information


	The startup screen of the software provides a simple overview of current status, the loaded program, the current location of the machine and the active work offset and entry point into the menu

	PC-DMIS NC Gage makes using on-machine probing much simpler and more efficient, in essence increasing the productivity of the probing system, enabling manufacturers to truly attain the productivity benefits of probes

	A color coded ASCII report is created showing features in and out of tolerance

	Moving the cursor up and down in the program list, displays comments, nominal and last measured values for any feature in the program

	Supported measurement functions are displayed as easy understandable icons on the screen
