Measuring Software Metrolog XG „Click and Control“ The User Interface Geometric Measurement Metrolog is the ideal tool for the manual or CNC-controlled measuring of all geometric elements. The practice-oriented software module can be applied quickly and easily and significantly facilitates complex programming operations. Geometric Measurement Freeform Measurement Geometric Measurement with CAD Import The powerful freeform option has an abundance of interfaces (IGES, VDAFS, SET, STEP, CATIA, UNIGRAPHICS, PARASOLID). Thus, a trouble-free CAD/ CAM comparison will be guaranteed. Freeform Measurement compared to CAD Model METROLOG XG features extremely simple operation and the highest ease of use. Extensive graphic support allows even inexperienced users to measure in an efficient and time-saving manner after a few days. In line with the motto “Click and Control”, you just need to click on interactive elements on the screen. The CNC Program is automatically created in the bakkground. The alignment of the workpiece can already be done through one probe point. However, for an exact alignment, 6 probe points are needed. Different alignment methods can be applied (1 point, fixture, geometric, 6 surface points, through 3 central points, through plane and 2 central points, best fit, and the RPS alignment). For the most important geometric elements, automatic probing strategies are available (point, straight line, circle, radius, plane, sphere, cone, torus, surface points, section, rectangle, oblong hole, ellipse, and hexagon). Safety cubes, which can be formed around the workpiece, offer protection from collision. All traverse paths and probe points are displayed in advance. Thus, the user can recognize the influence of different probing strategies online. Any number of criteria can be calculated from the measurement results (angle, distances, shape and position tolerances, section, mirror, and symmetry elements, etc.). The following shape and position tolerances are available: straightness, evenness, roundness, cylindricity, surface form, parallelism, rectangularity, angularity, position tolerance, coaxiality, concentricity, symmetry, true running). All common CAD formats can be imported into the software (CATIA; CATIAV5; UNIGRAPHICS; PARASOLID; PRO/ENGINEER; IDEAS; VDA; IGES; STEP; SET; UNISURF). This facilitates programming and enables a fast direct CAD comparison of the nominal and actual contour. Extensive strategies are available for the quick measuring of surface points. Thus, e.g., entire point aggregates can be generated with just 3 clicks. In order to examine contour runs, sections can be measured according to different criteria. Likewise, it is possible to digitalize an unknown contour through an integrated scanning function (reverse engineering). A clearly arranged database helps you to easily manage your measuring results. It contains a wealth of search and sorting criteria. The internal statistics module calculates the most important parameters for process monitoring for you (Cp, Cpk, standard deviation, mean value, etc.). For the graphic presentation of the measuring result “color mapping” is available, among other things. Thus, a colored “error map” is generated so that the worker can rework in a specific way. The easy interpretation helps to save time and to avoid errors. With the help of labeling fields you can create modern, meaningful logs. Measuring logs can be displayed in graphic form, in table form, or in graphic/table form. A powerful log editor enables the quick adjustment of print copies according to your individual needs. Measuring logs can also be generated in JPG, BMP, WMF, and PDF form. Thus, data exchange via the Internet or, respectively, paperless documentation is possible. With the “F1” button you can access the online help. Extensive explanations also explain background knowledge about the most common standards to the user. Many other modules are available, such as, e.g., workpiece temperature compensation and offline programming. We would be pleased to demonstrate the service capabilities of our systems to you in our facility. Product Program Full flexibility for our customers, whether scanning or touch-triggered probing. All Renishaw probing systems are fully supported. Thus, any measuring device can be individually fitted with your desired probing system. The probing systems can be retrofitted and expanded at any time. Below is an excerpt on the most common probing systems: PH6 / PH6M Cantilever Machines with Air or Roller Bearing Cantilever Machines TWIN with Air Bearing / Roller Bearing Manually Adjustable Probe Head The MH20i can be indexed in 15° steps Automatic, Motorized Indexing Probe Head with stylus alignment in 7.5° steps. TP 20 To u c h - T r i g g e r Probe, automatic changeable without recalibration. Probe Variation 0.8 µm, Repeatability 0.35 µm at a stylus length of 10 mm. Maximum recommended stylus length 50 mm. About 3 mil. probes per module. MCR20 TP 200 Electronically Triggering Probe, automatically changeable without recalibration. Probe Variation 0.8 µm, Repeatability 0.4 µm at a stylus length of 50 mm. Maximum stylus length 100 mm. About 10 mil. probes per module. SCR200 SP25M Scanning Probe With up to 100 dots / second, Probe Variation 0.2 µm, Repeatability 0.3 µm. Also outstanding with stylus tip lengths f up to 400mm. Highest operating life due to optical probe signal recording. FCR25 Software Changing of probe combinations without recalibration. Protection of the modules from dirt and damaging. MCR20 in connection with the TP20. The SCR200 withthe TP200. Import of CAD Files with Individual Layer Administration Colour Mapping PH10M / PH10T Compact, Mounted Probe Head The PH6M has a multiwire interface. Probe Systems/ Probe Styli/ Probe Changer In connection with a scanning probe, the scanning module allows for fast, continual scanning of an unknown workpiece with a high informative value. MH20i / MH20 Portal Measuring Machines with Air Bearing Scanning With optical laser scanners workpieces can be digitalized conveniently and quickly. Particularly beneficial is the high dot density of about 20,000 dots per second that can be recorded. The laser scanner can be exchanged automatically in connection with a probe changer magazine. This enables the parallel use of touch and optical sensors. The accuracy of the stripe laser is about 10 - 20 µm. Probe Heads and Probes by Renishaw Tension Systems Granit Change magazine for the SP 25 with 3 or 6 changer ports. Storage of probes, Scanning, and stylus modules. The Company THOME PRÄZISION was initially founded in the spring of 1993 as an engineering office for metrological problem solutions. Emphasis was placed on the development and construction of measuring devices for the industrial sector. Since 1996, the company’s own coordinate measurements machines have been developed and manufactured innovatively and dynamically. A success story one can be proud of. Since then, many different machine types were introduced into the market with great success. All installed devices work reliably and trouble-free. We are particularly proud of that. We have achieved our goal completely: “Increase of the customer benefit through an optimum of quality, technology, and performance”. The philosophy of our company, “quality and service for the customer always pays in the long run” has proven itself. The results are double-digit annual increases in turnover and satisfied customers. That is why you trust our experienced engineers as well. We solve your metrological problem, competently, innovatively, and for the best cost/performance ratio. That’s what our name guarantees.
