Metris Offers CMM-Manager 2.2

By DE Editors

Metris (Leuven, Belgium) releases CMM-Manager 2.2, the first software release of former Integrated Quality, Inc. (which was acquired by Metris last spring).

CMM-Manager 2.2 introduces native support of Metris tactile metrology solutions, including both the CMM range and the handheld tactile solutions. This enables Metris to offer a cost-effective solution for quick walk-in or one-click CAD measurements. To further facilitate inspection, CMM-Manager integrates a number of smart functions to allow operators to reach higher measurement productivity and consistency.

CMM-Manager 2.2 provides native support of Metris’ broad range of tactile metrology solutions. Metris now offers operator-centric and cost-effective CMM solutions that offer quick walk-in and one-click CAD measurement, which enables operators to focus on the measurement instead of spending hours on manual programming. It facilitates automation of repetitive inspection tasks, through straightforward teach-in or advanced collision-free path generation directly from CAD.

CMM-Manager 2.2 covers the entire family of tactile metrology solutions from Metris, by interfacing with Metris MCC200 and CC3 CMM controllers to drive Metris LK and C3 CMMs, respectively. Beyond fixed-bed CMMs, the software supports handheld, portable measurement using Metris MCA articulated arm or K-Series Optical CMM.

CMM-Manager assists the user by automatically triggering a measurement as soon as the probe tip crosses the desired circumference plane. Another smart function is leap frogging, which expands the measuring volume by relocating the arm or optical CMM. CMM Manager 2.2 also features more software enhancements for point measurements, freeform surface scanning, and report customization.
