January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
Hexagon Metrology announced the commercial availability of ROMER measuring arm packages equipped with PC-DMIS Touch Portable, a new measurement software. Utilizing high-resolution multi-touch display technology on a tablet PC, users physically interact with the software's guided measurement sequences and report templates.
With PC-DMIS Touch, one-time dimensions are executed through intuitive automated measurement sequences while more complex measurement plans are created by simply following guided measurement sequences and measuring features directly on the part. A graphical representation of the measured features is always displayed in the center of the interface during all measurement tasks.
The software organizes measurement plan features by "Face." The user is guided through measurement processes using a full set of inspection tools, such as simple feature measurement, construction of features or feature sets, 2D and 3D dimensional reporting, GD&T configuration and more.
"PC-DMIS Touch represents the future of inspection software, leveraging the latest advancements in operating system and hardware form factors," said Ken Woodbine, president of the PC-DMIS software division of Hexagon Metrology. "The user experience includes full touch gesturing and utilization of color in distinctive ways to guide the user through a task. It becomes an immersive experience that allows any user to accomplish their job swiftly and easily. ROMER arm users will particularly appreciate this ease of use based on an arm's typical applications and diverse measurement workflows."
