Overview: The document provides an overview of the Zenith software, designed for use with Kreon hardware, focusing on scanning and probing surfaces and geometric entities. It highlights the software's capabilities in fast point cloud acquisition, color mapping, and automatic report generation.
Specifications: Zenith is compatible with all Kreon measuring and scanning arms, offering a one-click connection. It supports fast and reliable calibration of scanners through a guided process. The software is provided for free with the purchase of an Ace arm, although scanning is not available on CMM.
Procedures: The software allows for easy management of scanning and probing, with features such as material presets for specific scanners, filtering of point clouds to reduce file size, and quick removal of unwanted point cloud zones. It also supports the extraction of geometrical entities from point clouds for comparison with CAD models.
Color Mapping: After aligning the scan to the CAD model using Landmark and Best-fit alignment, Zenith can generate a color mapping on the point cloud, providing a visual representation of deviations.
Automatic Report Generation: Users can specify the visibility of entities and properties, organize the report structure, and export reports in PDF or CSV formats.
Geometric Acquisition: The software facilitates the fast creation and calibration of probes, acquisition of various geometrical entities, and direct measurement of CAD entities by probing. It supports alignment by three geometrical entities or using a "plane, line, point" method, with the option to export measured entities in IGES format.
Measurement and Deviation: Zenith allows for the measurement of distances and angles between entities and provides deviation comparisons between measured and CAD entities.
Conclusion: Zenith is a user-friendly software solution for essential 3D measurement and acquisition tasks, particularly suited for industrial parts. It is designed to manage dense point clouds and perform color mapping efficiently.
