The CAD Model Used in Coordinate Measuring Machine

CMM has been widely used in mold, aerospace, automobile manufacturing and other industries. The application of CAD in CMM is to use the software developed by computer to carry out advanced measurement test.

This method of testing measures the CAD model in software without the actual workpiece. It can greatly reduce the operation of the actual test object in the detection stage, which can not only improve the detection efficiency, save the test resources, but also reduce the labor intensity.

CAD is used for reverse engineering output. In contrast to the traditional process of making a workpiece based on drawings or related data, reverse engineering is the process of issuing drawings or related data based on the workpiece. In reverse engineering, the above is first to use the coordinate measuring machine to accurately measure the shape of the sample, and then use the CAD function to process the measurement data, and then generate one or several CAD data file formats.

The software configured with DIPSEC CMM has powerful CAD software functions, which can import the CAD model to be tested and work in offline mode. By opening the self-learning function of the software, the system can automatically generate the measurement program, simulate the measurement, find out the operation error path and collection point in the measurement process, and modify the program. The actual measurement minimizes possible problems and ensures maximum safety during the measurement process.

As a commonly used measuring machine, coordinate measuring machine has high measuring accuracy and efficiency, and it is easy to operate. On-line measurement is possible. The introduction of CAD function will bring more space for CMM.
