Doel:

The objective of this 2-day training is to enable metrology operators, technicians, and engineers, who have little or no knowledge of the PolyWorks Metrology Suite, to perform 3D inspections using tools found in PolyWorks|InspectorTM. More specifically, it covers the key concepts of typical inspection workflows for laser trackers.

Vereisten:

  • Trainees must have basic knowledge of metrology and be able to read engineering drawings.
  • Trainees must have basic computer skills (Windows operating systems).

Schets:

  • Define a measurement plan
  • Measure surface deviations and control part dimensions by probing
  • Align the measured part to the CAD model
  • Inspect the part from multiple device positions
  • Perform live adjustments to parts and/or fixtures using the Build/Inspect tool
  • Review, report, and share inspection results
  • Inspect multiple pieces

Content:
