Geometric Measurements:
Metrolog XG uses a powerful graphical interface to display all your measurements and constructions. This interface provides the operator with a complete tool to fully visualize and make a through analysis of the inspection results.

Geometric/Prismatic Features.
Any type of prismatic features can be built or defined in Metrolog XG. This powerful module enables the control of any parts or assembly and gives you the choice to work with GD&T(ISO Standard) and finally display your results or print them out on a text or Graphic Report.

Geometric and Dimensional Tolerance .

Geometrical and Dimensional Tolerance based on the ISO Standard is one of the main features of the prismatic module .Metrolog XG includes all the tolerance related to the ISO 1101 Standard (true position, parallelism, coaxiality,circular run-out, ect…).This module uses algorithms of calculation specially developed for tolerancing. Moreover it integrates an ISO GD&T interpretation assistant. All the calculation methods have been developed and tested by specialists and validated by renowned national and international experts.

Metrolog XG has today the most powerful GD&T module available in any 3-D inspection software on the market.

Geometric Constructions.

The measurement of parts such as power train components requires the construction of geometric features.

Metrolog XG integrates a module that allows the construction of any features from any other features point or entity.

This function is very important to construct particular part alignments and to determine specific results. All the construction features are automatically displayed on the screen: the operator can then directly see the constructed features and make sure of the coherence of the measurements.

Probing Assistance.

Metrolog XG offers on automatic probing assistance available for all features. This function is essential to ensure quality measurements and a better reproducibility.

The probe path is directly displayed on the screen: it allows the operator to validate an error and collision –free measurement.

Probes and Simulation.

Many types of probes can be used. Touch probes, optical probes, scanning/measuring probes. The calibration procedure on a reference sphere is fully automatic for a better calibration and then measurement results.

Alignments .

The menu “alignments” offers different alignment strategies to easily define your part coordinate system: From geometrical features, using optimizations, specific constraints, based on the CAD model, ect.

The created alignment will be displayed in real time to further assist the operator and eliminate errors in this critical step when controlling the dimension of a part.

Graphical analysis.

Form fault of a geometrical feature is an important analysis. Metrolog XG includes a fully functional graphical interface that displays on the screen the form fault, probed points as well as different possibilities of simulation using different algorithms of calculation. Then a specific statistical analysis gives the main results.

CAD Interfaces.

Metrolog XG is able to work with any type of CAD files, including different formats.

The main neutral CAD formats available are IGES,VDAFS,SET and UNISURF.

The CAD file assistance brings a valuable help to the operator : Nominal values of the various features, automatic calculation of deviation, probing assistance, automatic programming, reporting support, etc.

Measurement Comparison to CAD model.

This module includes all free form measurements against a CAD model : Deviation from CAD, surface measurements, edge measurements,… are the most common uses.

It is most useful to the molding, plastic injection, stamping…and different levels in the manufacturing process: from a single part to the full assembly of multiple finished parts.

Scanning.

The scanning module is used to measure a part of unknown shape.

Using a direct link with the DCC Controller, this is a real tool used to determine an unknown shape.All the path generation and the probing points are fully managed by the DCC Controller based on various parameters defined by the operator.

After scanning a part ,the operator can manipulate and export the cloud of points recorded automatically by the CMM.

Graphical display of the results.

Results can be displayed directly on the screen using “stickers”. In a few steps, you can prepare your inspection control reports using these stickers and different views. All these stickers can be configured independently or all together to fulfill your needs regarding their content ,style, size and position. This ease of use enables Metrolog XG to prepare any type of graphical report for a simple to understand analysis/display of your measurements.
