Rapidform XOV2/Verifier Released by INUS

By DE Editors

INUS Technology, Inc. is releasing Rapidform XOV/Verifier2, shipping March 23, 2009. XOV2 is said to be simple to use, with no need to write macros and no coding necessary. The user can open any 3D CAD file, and then lay out an inspection plan step by step.

An Inspection Plan List (IPL) automatically records for subsequent, one-button execution on the shop floor. To change an alignment or a tolerance, users can select the step to be changed from within the IPL, make the change, and the plan and results are updated without re-inspecting the part.

Other features of Rapidform XOV2 include CAD deviation analysis and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). Users can enter tolerances and datum features manually, or may be import them directly from CAD via XOV's PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) translators.

XOV2’ feature set is well suited for professional metrology-level inspection applications:

• CAD-like intuitive user interface
• No coding or macros, and every inspection can be done without programming
• Supports both scanner and probe based inspection
• Auto-alignment based on feature recognition
• PMI Import from CAD: Siemens NX, CATIA, and Pro/E , no redundant data entry
• CAD-style, GD&T definition (ANSI Y14.5B) where PMI is unavailable
• 2D drawing-based inspection support, 3D inspection from 2D documentation
• Smart import from external tolerance tables
