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 background. 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; CATIA-V5; 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.

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.
