InnovMetric releases PolyWorks® 2017, delivering a new control-centric reviewing workflow
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
QUEBEC, QC, Canada, May 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InnovMetric Software Inc.,
the leading provider of universal 3D metrology software solutions, launched
PolyWorks 2017, the latest release of the company's universal 3D metrology
software platform. PolyWorks 2017 delivers a new control-centric reviewing
workflow - a key upgrade for all portable metrology and CNC CMM measurement
specialists that need to share large metrology projects, containing hundreds of
dimensional and GD&T controls, with colleagues, customers, and suppliers. It
also provides a major technology upgrade for large-volume metrology
applications, and a unique approach to real-time collision analysis for more
efficient CNC CMM project setups.
Control-centric reviewing workflow
"Because they provide invaluable feedback on manufactured parts and on the
performance of the manufacturing process, 3D measurements must be efficiently
planned and executed by measurement specialists. Then, the results have to be
thoroughly reviewed by manufacturing specialists to make informed engineering
decisions. With 3D inspection projects designed for planning and executing
measurements, time-consuming manipulations are required when sharing measurement
results using standard 2D reports. For reviewers, interpreting results found in
static tables and snapshots within extensive reports can be challenging,
frustrating, and inefficient. Oftentimes, this traditional approach requires
back-and-forth communication with measurement specialists to extract additional
information from the 3D inspection project," said Marc Soucy, President of
InnovMetric. "With the new dimensional-control-centric approach in PolyWorks
2017, the PolyWorks|Inspector(TM) 3D metrology project is the report! By
enabling measurement specialists to communicate results directly in 3D,
considerable productivity gains are guaranteed for our customers. PolyWorks
2017 also empowers reviewers to investigate measurement results contextually in
3D with dynamic navigation tools."
Using the new Control Reviewer in PolyWorks|Inspector(TM) or in the free
PolyWorks|Viewer(TM), measurement specialists and manufacturing specialists can
now:
* Access a global list of dimensional controls sorted by characteristic index,
making it the ideal tool to prepare first-article inspection reports.
* Add custom controls to the global list of controls; for example, those
measured using manual gauges.
* Easily split an inspection project into small and logical groups of controls
called Control Views.
* Tie individual controls to specific data alignments and coordinate systems,
enabling multicontextual Control Views.
* Search, sort, and filter controls to highlight critical results.
* Display control views automatically in 3D with the right point of view.
* Generate formatted reports automatically.
Major technology upgrade for large-volume metrology applications
InnovMetric is proud to release its most significant technology enhancements for
customers who need to assemble and inspect large structures such as those found
in the aerospace, shipyard, and energy industries. Users can now:
* Predefine and configure a list of laser tracker devices, and connect to
multiple trackers simultaneously. With PolyWorks 2017, to guide assembly
building in real time, switch the active tracker instantaneously and feed
measured reflector positions to digital readouts.
* Align point-to-object using a powerful technique that aligns points to
different geometrical characteristics of matched objects (such as center
points, axes, or surfaces) and control the alignment direction, weight, and
participation to the scaling factor computation for each pair of matched
geometries.
* Probe surface features before their nominal components are defined or the
part is aligned to the CAD model.
Real-time collision analysis for more efficient CNC CMM project setups
Measurement specialists who define probing and laser scanning paths on CNC CMMs
now have access to a collision analysis engine that detects potential tool
collisions with the part or the fixtures, and provides visual feedback on
problematic tool paths in the Sequence Editor and the 3D Scene.
Thanks to two major innovations, the PolyWorks collision analysis approach
stands out from competing CMM software products:
* PolyWorks collision analysis is carried out in real time while the
measurement sequence is created or edited, such as when new measurement
objects are added to a sequence. This allows operators to immediately fix
problematic tool paths and avoid accumulating issues.
* PolyWorks collision analysis is performed both offline and online, and warns
users about potential collisions even when they launch a measurement
operation outside of the Sequence Editor. Traditionally, this feature is
offered solely as an offline functionality in other software.
