Metrologic Group Announces V21 Software Release
Metrologic Group has announced the release of its latest V21 software version. This release aims to boost customer satisfaction and align with the latest market trends. With critical hardware integrations and improved functionalities, Metrologic further strengthens its position as a leader in universal metrology software. Embracing Industry 4.0 for enhanced manufacturing efficiencies has never been easier.
New functionalities introduced across the Metrologic Group software product versions include:
Automatic Decrypting GD&T / PMI improvement
Automatic assistant for creating more specific features, such as cylinders, based on GD&T PMI surface profiles and their associated geometries within the CAD model.
Visually Assess Consistency of Manufacturing
Focus on the improvement of the user experience to help obtain quick analysis and take decision for driving the manufacturing process. It’s now possible to generate a color map showing the absolute deviation of the Range between measured multiple batch parts.
Quality Information Standard (QIF)
Metrologic Group are dedicated to supporting standard format exchanges and continuously advancing capabilities and now offer additional feature data construction, including Projection, Intersection, and Median. Additionally, more PMI information is supported during the CAD export process.
Metrolog X4 CORE Enhancements
Renishaw’s Revo Vision Probe (RVP) Support
Need to measure small features or delicate, flexible parts? Metrolog now integrates Renishaw’s RVP sensor, enabling non-contact, 5-axis CMM measurement. Furthermore, the entire process from acquisition to cloud extraction can be simulated within the Silma software. As an added bonus, leveraging this work, the Revo Fringe Probe (RFP) can now also function as a Vision probe.
Support Best Practices for Creaform
Metrologic continue to solidify its partnership with Creaform by respecting their recommended acquisition workflow. Now when starting a new acquisition with the MetraSCAN or HandySCAN hardware, Metrolog can begin with the identification of targets.
Collision Detection Improvement
The digital twin security management that prevents collisions between hardware and parts being measured has been improved. There is now improved management of how collisions are detected during CMM touch measurements within Silma X4.
Metrolog X4 ROBOT Enhancements
Inspection Path Planning optimisation
Metrologic doubles down on its commitment to creating intuitive robotic inspection paths. No matter what the sensor being used, the goal is to create the most optimal robotic trajectory to measure the part and understand that on the manufacturing floor, cycle times are critical and this is a continuation of its commitment to this goal.
Enhanced ABB Robot integration
Enhancing compatibility and safety with the integrated robot brands remains a top priority. The new release includes added support for ABB’s ICR5 controller with improvements to existing support for the ICR4 controller.
