Enhanced Offline Programming System GRIPS for Geometry & Free Form Surface

Display coordinate measuring machines in the 3D graphics Virtual joystick for interactive positioning of the measuring machine in offline mode Place work piece in the measuring volume Display travel paths Display probe head swivel range Chromatical display of the form deviation of geometrical elements Distance measurement with CAD-Tool Area selection for multiple measuring points Enhanced collision detection with approach surveillance Estimation and simulation of measurement uncertainty by adding variation to the offline probe points

Improvements in many beneficial details

Global quick selection table in order to start part inspection programs over all data bases Import of inspection plans (features) in Inspection-Control-List format (*.ins) Measure surface points relatively in SURF Output of deviation in d/A/B with edge point, circle, rectangle, slot, relative point and 3D curve point

I++ DME and I++ DMS Interface

Integration of rotary tables in I++ DME client and server Current I++ DME server and client specification 1.6 Inspection planning and export of the corresponding data into I++ DMS format

DMIS Interpreter

Comfort functions for starting-up part inspection programs - Dialogue supported editing - Execute with parameter modification - Teach-in of DMIS programs Enhancement of the DMIS command set: - File operations (OPEN, CLOSE, READ, WRITE) - Access to probe system data (OBTAIN) - Safety planes (SNSET/CLRSRF) Belated output of inspection results in DMO format from DIP DMIS programs
