Updated Measurement Software Provides Universal CMM Compatibility

Verisurf Software offers Verisurf 2018, the latest release of its measurement software for automated quality inspection, scanning, tool-building, reverse engineering and assembly guidance. The features of this edition focus on universal coordinate measuring machine (CMM) compatibility, quick programming shortcuts and other productivity features, and increased probing speed.

All CMMs, including previously closed legacy systems, are now open to users, streamlining productivity and ensuring manufacturing enterprise compatibility. Expanded support does not require controller upgrades or added software, and legacy data is translated to allow the operator to take full advantage of the user interface, data management and reporting functionality. This enables the use of legacy CMMs as part of an enterprise-wide measurement plan.

The new programming shortcuts and productivity features include automatic feature recognition, which enables users to select and immediately add any CAD feature to an inspection plan. The software also enables the quick measurement of torus shapes for parts such as O rings and the ability to use the probe shaft for measuring thin edges. It also features improved mesh editing and added Boolean controls for combining and dissecting meshes with intersecting geometry.

Dynamic Datum Reference Frame (DRF) allows the user to create datum alignments in the report manager using measured features, and Auto DRF quickly sets up the most common reports utilizing single data reference frames. New drag-and-drop custom report builder can create reports for measurement projects.
