Machine Tool Probing Suite Drives In-Process Inspection
Verisurf Software has announced the release of its new Machine Tool Probing (MTP) suite, designed to support in-process inspection directly on machine tools. As the only CAD/CAM-based metrology software on the market, Verisurf continues to build on its heritage of intelligent Model-Based Definition (MBD) with new features, enhancements, and optimized workflows for inspection, reporting, reverse engineering, tool building, and guided assembly.
Closed-Loop Process Improves Overall Process Control
MTP extends Verisurf’s commitment to universal compatibility and offers manufacturers inspection and reporting options beyond typical CMMs. Autonomous on-machine milling, and inspection are accomplished with a single set up. CMM hardware costs are eliminated, parts (especially large parts) do not need to be moved to-and-from the metrology lab, environmental stability is maintained, no additional fixtures or realignment of parts is necessary for measurement, and the closed-loop process improves overall process control.
The software is configured in application modules delivered through powerful solution suites designed to optimize the user experience and execution of workflows. The Verisurf user interface reflects the application modules in a Windows ribbon bar style. It provides a familiar user experience and enables new and existing customers to quickly identify and utilize each solution suite’s workflows and underlying features, tools, and capabilities, helping customers maximize their metrology investment.
Create Automated Inspection Plans
“The Verisurf MTP Suite provides extended flexibility when it comes to quality inspection. Our no-code programming and open platform compatibility allow customers to create automated inspection plans with unmatched efficiency that can be executed on any stationary or portable CMM, and now, on all equipped CNC machine tools as well,” said Nick Merrell Verisurf’s Executive Vice President.
Verisurf is built on the Mastercam platform, which allows the CAM and CAI (Computer Aided Inspection) programming to be generated using the same software. This provides numerous benefits over other on-machine inspection applications. The complexity of the programming process and file management is reduced, measurement results can be directly applied improved machining, and overall process control is improved by closing the loop between the physical machined part and the intelligent CAD model.
