CMM Software for Measurement, Programming, Simulation, Analysis and Reporting
LK Metrology has released Camio 2024, the latest version of its coordinate measuring machine (CMM) software for measurement, programming, simulation, analysis and reporting. It features upgraded performance in several key areas to enhance safety, increase productivity in the quality control department and shorten the lead-time from component production to completion of inspection, according to company officials.
Why 3D scan? - full field data set
One of the major advantages of 3D scanning is it creates “full field data set” or sometime it’s called “digital twin”. The CMM has done a great job when it comes to collecting just enough data accurately and reliably for dimensional inspection purposes. What the CMM is focused on is to verify pre-defined features/dimensions to determine if parts are good or bad. However, when things go wrong and more information is needed to further analyze the root causes it takes a lot of efforts and tedious work to get enough useful information.
How to Inspect a Wind Turbine Foundation Mold With 3D Scanning
The wind power industry has witnessed tremendous growth over the past few decades, driven by the global push towards renewable energy sources.
Wind turbine foundations are critical components, providing the necessary support for the turbine towers to capture wind energy effectively.
3D Inspect Cast Gearbox Housing For Machining Allowance Analysis
The manufacturing of complex and large-scale alloy die castings is essential in various industries, including automotive, telecommunications, renewable energy, aerospace, and electronics.
As demand for precision in these sectors increases, the necessity for advanced manufacturing techniques and strict quality control intensifies.
MSI Viking Announces Strategic Partnership with Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence
MSI Viking announced a major new partnership in the Americas with Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, a division of Hexagon. This collaboration is set to enhance MSI Viking’s offerings in coordinate metrology, further solidifying its commitment to delivering excellence in the field.
Calypso - Condition Based on Confirm Statement
What to expect. Yes, (it does exist) the CMM will measure the 35 Deg Bore. No, (does not exist) it will skip the 35 Deg Bore and move to the .875 diameter.
The efficiency and gains of 3D point cloud inspection
Point cloud technology refers to the use of a set of data points in a 3D coordinate system, which is commonly defined by X, Y and Z axes. From a metrological standpoint, the actual points in a point cloud represent those X, Y and Z geometric coordinates for each single point. All together, these point clouds can be used as they are (raw) or filtered to create shapes and surfaces that can be compared with a nominal CAD reference, for example.
Calypso - Blind Hole Depth
This is an excerpt from the Calypso Handbook
To measure the depth of a blind hole we must calculate the depth by using this process.
Calypso - Point Recall with Loop
This will create a wall thickness 360° around the part top and bottom 8 points each.

Higher Flexibility with Less Effort
To maintain their position as a market leader, many companies are committed to quality control – for example, by using coordinate measuring machines. However, only an ideal software makes a comprehensive and individual evaluation possible. ZEISS CALYPSO is the general measuring software enabling both tactile and optical measurements with ZEISS coordinate measuring machines as well as the verification and analysis of the resulting 3D data. The new software version has been released.
ZEISS Introduces Compact CMM for Precise Measurement of Large Volume Parts
ZEISS has launched the ZEISS MMZ 1 table CMM, designed specifically for large workpieces and applications that require highly accurate contact measurements. This machine excels in evaluating size, form, and location measurements with exceptional precision. Equipped with the ZEISS VAST XT gold probe head mounted on a silicon carbide ram, the ZEISS MMZ 1 offers enhanced temperature stability.
Motorsport: Driven by speed
Formula One is an innovative and high performance arena where speed, precision and accuracy is of the essence at all times. To maintain pole position, Oracle Red Bull Racing has been in a long-term technical partnership with Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division.

How to Create a VB Script Program to Better Locate Position of a Feature
The issue is, in our program if Circle1 is not in the correct location, due to machine targeting or various other reasons we will want to manually check the diameter of Circle1 and use this new location to check the diameter in CNC mode.
