Measurement software SAPHIR 7 The 3D measurement and analysis software SAPHIR version 7 can now be used universally on all measurement devices and machines from Schneider Messtechnik. SAPHIR 7 - The control centre for your quality assurance.

SAPHIR 3D measurement and analysis software Nowadays, the SAPHIR 3D measurement and analysis software is one of the world's best known and most successful developments in the optical and tactile measurement technology sector. SAPHIR impresses with its clear structure and simple operation. Thanks to its structure, SAPHIR offers multisensor capabilities for universal applications in the control, sensor and data exchange sectors. Version 7 includes comprehensive updates to the user interface. SAPHIR 7 is now even easier, intuitive and faster to operate. The SAPHIR 7 functions have been updated with...

Interface between man and machine This interface was of the utmost importance during all past and future developments of the SAPHIR 3D measurement and analysis software. The implementation capability into the complete range of multisensor measuring machines, workshop microscopes, optical measurement devices and measuring and profile projectors and the complete integration into existing environments vouch for the high flexibility and adaptability of SAPHIR. One of the strengths of SAPHIR is the workshop-based measurement process. Individual features on workpieces can thus be measured and recorded...

Display of additional information about the workpiece, workspace and program being used. Additional fast access to standard dropdown menu navigation. Workpiece coordinate -system The following provides an overview to illustrate the fast orientation within the space by simply switching between the 3D model (left), live camera image (2D, right) and drawing view (not displayed). The workpiece coordinate system is displayed accordingly so that one image can be used to determine the current (relative and absolute) position of the workpiece. List area Can be switched between horizontal and vertical...

Display area Modern design for fast, simple and efficient operation. Context-dependent adjustment of the toolbar to the current view (live image, 2D drawing, 3D model, report). 2D, 3D or drawing view of the workpiece or measurement process depending on the current task being executed. a x Position display Details on the current position in max. 5 axes. Possible to recall coordinates via shortcut. Virtual workpiece position Adjustment of the workpiece display via buttons or mouse buttons: the right mouse button rotates the workpiece, the left mouse button moves the workpieces, both mouse buttons...

Functions & features Accurately! Too short at the back, too long at the front – with 2D and 3D BestFit, you always get things right. Optimum integration of the measured actual data into the target data specified by model. This allows you to make optimum use of the tolerances. The following 3D formats can optionally be imported: DXF, STEP, Solid Works, Inventor, PDF, IGES, Direct X, Acis, Auto CAD (*.drw, *.dxf), Catia V4, V5, V6, Solid Edge, Pro/Engineer, NX, Parasolid, and many more. A BestFit is possible with both the 2D model sections obtained and with summarised control geometries and 3D...

Cost reductions thanks to multi-sensor system No matter whether you have to measure coarse of finely toleranced, matt or polished, bright or dark workpieces, the right sensor is available at all times. Black/white or colour camera for incident light and transmitted light measurement, programmable LED sector incident light illumination, tactile or scanning probes (alternatively with swivel head system), a high-precision measuring laser or a confocal white light sensor are the elementary preconditions for purposeful and cost-optimised use of the measuring machine. All the sensors can be automatically...

Unknown paths ... ... can cause problems for some, but are certainly not a mystery to SAPHIR. Automatic detection of known and unknown contours in the 2D area using the camera and in the 3D area using a sensing or scanning probe is a powerful tool that is complemented with 2D and 3D BestFit. Fast and highly accurate – the contour is tracked on a pixel level using the maximum possible number of measurement points. Offline programming Programming times = downtimes for the machines? Definitely a thing of the past! Thanks to offline programming, you can create your measurement programs in your office...

Dynamic wobble compensation („rotation axis alignment“) The determined workpiece axis is retraced as part of the spatial alignment process. The edge of the workpiece thus always remains in the focus of the camera or in the specified position. Thanks to this unique function, very accurate measurements (shape and position) can be completed without complex clamping of the workpieces. Even clamping on one side in a jaw chuck guarantees repeatable and accurate measurement results. Flying contour measurement * Tool measurement * In conjunction with the dynamic wobble compensation („rotation axis alignment“),...

New & noteworthy Quick Detect (QD) is now integrated in SAPHIR 7! SAPHIR 7 represents Measurement Technology 4.0 and includes integrated QD mode in all its forms. The workpiece itself is a channel of information – even without an RFID chip. SAPHIR scans all of the workpieces in the measurement range without the quantity being specified. Workpieces for which there is no program yet are also identified within their contour and converted to a DXF. The software automatically aligns the coordinate system on the workpiece and saves the image from the measurement camera for part recognition. The measurement...

Quick learning of the software thanks to workshop-oriented measurements • Clearly structured user interface simplifies measurements. • Detection of unknown contours. • Quick creation of automated measurement programs. • No programming knowledge required to create programs. • Measuring programs are displayed in plain text in a tree structure. • Macros, subroutines and loop programming simplify creation of the programs for continuous measurement tasks. • Graphic representation of all measured elements and resulting design of new elements and the determined measurement values. Other highlights •...
