Inspection equipment and processes are both undergoing rapid changes as companies move from using 2D drawings to CAD models as the preferred method for product definition. This change, coupled with the rising demand for companies to prove the quality of their products, has lead to a growing demand for inspection methods that can be used throughout the prototyping, manufacturing and assembly chain. With these techniques, any problems can be highlighted earlier in the development process and so be corrected more quickly and at lower cost.
PowerINSPECT from Delcam leads the way in today's market by delivering a complete CAD based Inspection Solution. PowerINSPECT surpasses traditional 2 dimensional inspection methods by offering you the capability to inspect against all your CAD data with any type of measurement device.
PowerINSPECT can be used with all types of inspection hardware including manual and CNC CMMs, portable arms, optical measuring devices and CNC machine tools.
It provides quality with ease of use. having a simple user interface which is intuitive and easy to use. The learning curve is short allowing the operator to get the most from the measuring device in the shortest possible time.
PowerINSPECT's onscreen feedback and detailed graphical displays give immediate feedback for each measured point. Inspection reports can be generated automatically in a customised format to include pictorial, tabulated and statistical data, meeting the demands of design requirements and agreed International Standards.
Benefits include
- Comparison against all mainstream CAD formats
- Rapid alignment even for complex freeform shapes
- Inspection of user-defined sections
- The ability to inspect along the edge of a part
- Full Geometric Inspection capabilities
- Automatic creation of inspection features from CAD nominals
- A step by step Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) Wizard
- Point, wireframe and surface export for measured entities
- CAD manipulation - including surface offsetting (e.g. reverse side for sheet metal, spark gap for electrodes)
- Fully-customisable reporting in easy-to-understand formats
