PolyWorks Inspector™
PolyWorks Inspector™ is a universal measurement software for quality control and 3D dimensional analysis. It allows you to diagnose and prevent production and assembly problems. Real-time measurements enable supervision of component assembly and quality of assembled products using mobile measurement devices and coordinate measuring machines (CMMs).
What makes PolyWorks Inspector unique?
- Powerful set of functions for aligning measurement data to CAD models that includes best fits of bounded surfaces and cross-sections. Best fits within tolerances, as well as techniques based on features, reference points, flush & gap gauges, and more.
- The widest range of dimensional control functions on the market.
- Complete analysis of surface, edge and cross-section deviations.
- Dimensioning of geometric features, Flush and Gap analysis, profile radii.
- Dimensioning of design feature lines, thickness, spacing, and more.
- GD&T analysis based on algorithms described in ASME and ISO standards.
- Advanced possibilities for defining datum frames, support for datum modifiers and tolerance zones.
- Advanced tolerance zone features and more.
- A set of tools for reporting audit results.
- Dynamically updated tables and snapshots, automatic report generation.
- Report Editor tool to customize report content and layout and export to PDF, Excel, Word, and HTML formats.
PolyWorks Inspector additional benefits:
- Simulation mode for offline project preparation.
- A set of statistical process control (SPC) tools that enables automatic calculation and updating of a database of part statistics regarding object dimensions and surface deviations.
- Providing trend charts, statistical color maps, and related analysis tools.
- CAD file translator for IGES/STEP neutral formats.
- Collecting all your data in one place.
- Real-time quality meshing and offline point cloud meshing.
- Transform scanned point clouds into polygon models with real-time high-quality meshing for grid processing when laser scanning parts.
- Create offline meshes from point cloud data files.
PolyWorks is a universal metrology software platform. With just one software, you can dramatically increase the efficiency and competence of your specialists, while reducing the costs associated with maintaining multiple software for different devices.
PolyWorks Inspector is a software that is being developed systematically.
Currently, users can use the software with:
- Portable measuring devices for probe measurement – all available plug-ins for measuring arms, optical probes, laser trackers, manual coordinate measuring machines.
- CNC CMM machines for probe measurement – CNC CMM plug-in with direct communication with CMM controllers and I++ plug-in in CNC mode.
- Portable point cloud scanning measurement devices – all available point cloud scanning plug-ins and import functionality for various native point cloud file formats for laser linescanners, structured light scanners, long range sphere grid scanners and more.
- CNC CMM machines with the ability to scan point clouds – laser scanner supported by the CNC CMM plug-in.
