“We over-nighted the first inspection results and our new dimensions to the machine shops and got better housings from them almost immediately. As a result, the system paid for itself in two weeks ”

PowerINSPECT inspection software on ROMER Absolute Arms

Portable measuring arms allow you to take measurements directly in the manufacturing environment, where process improvements are most beneficial.  Portable measuring equipment offered by Hexagon Metrology for industrial metrology applications in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, energy and medical is often partnered with PowerINSPECT, the world’s leading hardware-independent inspection software. PowerINSPECT is ideally suited to these applications and offers quick measurement results wherever inspection is required.

Guided measurement allows PowerINSPECT to ‘guide’ the user when measuring. It includes guided points and section inspection with both visual and audio aids to help generate data acquisition. This facilitates more consistent and repeatable measurements. Furthermore, in-process inspection allows quality personnel to develop inspection routines whilst production staff can measure them. The user management system ensures that production staff cannot then amend the inspection routines set by quality personnel.

Comprehensive device integration allows the user to confirm and cancel measurements using the arm buttons.  This minimises the need to use the mouse and keyboard during the measurement process, saving time and making the measurement process more comfortable.

Inspection benefits using PowerINSPECT
Immediate Feedback	Immediate feedback gives results with every probed point, minimising the time to identify any problems
Audio feedback	Audio feedback helps to guide the user through the measuring process, even when measuring in hard-to-reach areas where it is difficult to see the screen
Guided measurement	Guided measurement delivers more consistent reporting of inspection routines
Easy-to-read measurement reports	Produce comprehensive easy-to-read measurement reports, with or without CAD
Export to CAD	Measured geometry and curves can be exported to CAD, providing basic reverse engineering functionality
In-process inspection	In-process inspection reduces time, wastage and money
Laser Scanning	Powerful, easy-to-use functionality in PowerINSPECT makes it simple to inspect complex free form parts when laser scanning

PowerINSPECT Part Aligner

PowerINSPECT Part Aligner dramatically reduces set-up time and costs by using measurement data to recalculate the machining datum. Measure the part with the arm, and use PowerINSPECT’s alignment functionality to update the work offset, so that you can machine the part on the machine in the position where you have measured it.
