EASY TO USE, RICH FUNCTIONALITIES CMM-Manager is by far the highest value multi-sensor inspection software that runs on nearly all manual, CNC and portable CMMs. Using CMM-Manager’s automatic path planning and user-friendly graphical interface, users inspect more parts in less time. It is a task-oriented, highly intuitive software featuring quick walk-in measurement, one-click CAD measure, collision-free CAD teach, virtual simulation, real-time verification, CAD and datum alignment, and many more smart functions. Combined with the PH20 probe head, CMM-Manager turns around inspection work up...

QUICK TO START, FAST RESULTS Walk-in measurement Simply walk up to the CMM, quickly align the part, and immediately measure geometric features and points on planes. When CAD is available, you can even pick features from 3D scene for automatic measurement to eliminate manually probing the work piece. Docking and sliding panels provide an open and straightforward CMM-Manager workspace, which allows the operator to quickly inspect complicated features such as hole patterns in minutes. Graphical dimensioning Web-ready report CMM-Manager provides intuitive and easy-to-use graphical dimensioning...

EASY TO USE, EASY TO ANALYZE True click-and-measure capability Using CMM-Manager’s true click-and-measure capability, the operator is able to pick any feature on the screen display. The software automatically selects the proper probing angle and generates a collision-free path. After the operator confirms the selection, the CMM automatically measures the feature. Iconized part program representation In CMM-Manager, part programming is organized on the basis of clear and easy-to-understand icon representations, each indicating a measure, construct or report task. Such a task-oriented...

Graphics assisted tolerance reporting CMM-Manager reporting covers datum features for easy feature identification, and illustrates dimensions and tolerances in the graphics window for easy visual confirmation. Drag-and-drop graphical report creation Drag-and-drop functions incorporated into CMM-Manager speed up graphic reporting. To instantly create a graphics report table, for example, the operator simply drags the appropriate item from the report database tree to the graphics report window. Cross section & freeform surface scanning In CMM-Manager, it is easy to define a cutting plane for...

SMART FEATURES FOR ACCURATE AND FAST INSPECTION Automatic probing angle selection A real timesaver is CMM-Manager’ capability to automatically select the best probing angle to measure features. When necessary, the software select multiple probing angles to be able to inspect difficult-to-measure features, such as deep pockets and through holes. Automatic collision avoidance CMM-Manager intelligently modifies probe motion to avoid any obstacles along the path once a probe collision is detected. As this is done automatically, it guarantees completely collision-free inspection path. Iterative...

EFFICIENT PORTABLE MEASUREMENTS CMM-Manager supports tactile measurements using portable CMMs, such as an articulated Arm, Nikon K-Series Optical CMM and Nikon iGPS. It is a highly intuitive and easy-touse metrology software for inspection tasks at the shop floor covering a wide range of measurement volumes. Besides the rich functionalities for CNC and manual fixed-bed CMMs, CMM-Manager offers smart features for portable arm measurements, such as improved user guidance, automatic probe recognition and the same part programs for CNC and manual CMM. A powerful combination Tightly integrated...
