Verisurf Launches Programmable Shop Floor Inspection System

Verisurf Software has launched the new CMM Master, programmable cmm system.  The complete automated shop floor inspection system combines the power of Verisurf software with the Equator comparative gauge; the result is a fast, easy, accurate, affordable and portable programmable CMM system, the company said.

Verisurf CMM Master can increase throughput and reduce scrap rates. The lightweight, compact solution runs on single phase power with no need for compressed air. CMM Master can be configured for use on the shop floor or in the QA lab.

Features include

• Automated or manual joystick inspection
• Online and offline part programming—Programs can be created offline from CAD or online in “teach” mode using the CMM joystick
• Multiple part alignment methods—Align parts from simple 3-2-1 feature fitting or iterative best fit
• Full simulation and collision detection—Simulate measurement routines including probe scanning to help prevent potential CMM crashes before they occur
• Flexible reporting options—Automatically generate AS9102 First Article Inspection Report; inspection data can be exported to other popular presentation formats including, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Adobe 3D PDF Viewer 

“The same software also enables quality engineers to program and run automated inspection routines on fixed gantry CMMs and other portable devices across the manufacturing enterprise. The goal is to increase efficiency while reducing customer training, data management and support costs,” said Verisurf President Ernie Husted. 
Verisurf Software is a complete coordinate measurement CAD system with 3D surface modeling; traditional 2D drafting and 3D model associative GD&T. Verisurf can open any CAD model and use STL files to create CMM inspection plans to automate the inspection of 3D printed prototypes and additive manufactured parts. The Programmable Verisurf CMM Master is available through Verisurf and authorized Verisurf dealers. For more information, visit www.verisurf.com.
