Calypso. Measurement made easy.

1 Industrial Measuring Technology from Carl made MEASUREOne system design and production .. calypso provides reliablemeasuring runs and correctresults with high is user-friendly,intuitive, dialog- and import of CAD data. Thefastest way to your has a direct interface to all majorCAD formats. This means that 3D models aretransferred directly from the finished design toyour measuring programs. In addition, DMIS data can also be imported and processed. Alloperations are performed in just one system and programming times are drastically need for manual input of nominals or learnprogramming is eliminated and errors arepractically eliminated. Multiple conversions andintermediate steps, which in the past frequentlylead to tolerance problems, are a thing of under Windows imports CAD dataand instantly creates error-free measuring thinks like a metro-logist. The flexible inspectionplan replaces programming The fast and reliableway from CAD model tofinished measuring quality interface minimizes interpreter understands the standarddata formats and their languages.

2 calypso redu-ces transfer errors based on language problemsto just a few exceptions. This saves the time thatwould normally be required for editing the work-piece geometries. calypso also offers convenientfunctions permitting fast and easy correction ofdesign process calypso , the complete programmingprocess takes place in the process planningdepartment. In other words, the quality assur-ance department can use its coordinate measur-ing machine and all production facilities to measuring program can be compiled andmodified just as quickly on the basis of existingCAD data when programming directly at all applicationsUsing calypso , there is virtually no metrologydemand you can't meet. Even complex measur-ing tasks such as statistical evaluation (only possible withProvacs) surface Measurement (HOLOS NT) reverse surface engineering (DIMENSION) etc.,can easily be Scanning is synonymous with thebasic idea of calypso .

3 Contraryto measuring software whichsupports only single-point prob-ing, calypso processes pointquantities of unrestricted density the only way of preciselyillustrating form verified by high-speedscanningCalypso was developed specifically with high-speed scanning in mind. Its object-orientedmodular structure, the internal data structuresand the constant refinement of proven algo-rithms are the basis for fast scanning. Whereconventional software packages can only illustra-te a contour in the form of a mathematical bestfit, calypso determines the actual curve. Thisapplies to form verification of standard geo-metries just as well as to the digitization ofdesign measurementinstead of checking tolerancesTo meet workpieces mating requirements,very narrow tolerances need to be observedwhen establishing the functional dimensions insingle-point probing. The complete capture ofthe surface in the scanning mode permits highlyprecise illustration and evaluation of the formdeviation.

4 Mating components can be matchedand tolerances filter technology forhighest precisionDue to the low mechanical probing uncer-tainty, only very weak smoothing filters arerequired in calypso for the presentation ofsmoothed caused by scratches or dirt are elim-inated using a highly intelligent optimization fil-ter. This system intelligence removes the need totrace errors, for example after the 3rdshift. Inaddition to these two filters, calypso provides allstandard form-testing filters available in classicalform testers. Minimum circumscribed circledetermined from scanning data Maximum inscribed circledetermined from scanning dataForm evaluationDifference in mid-pointcoordinates of the two circlesOutlierCalypso measures the actual contour inthe scanning mode and then determinesform deviations in accordance with thestandard minimum conditions and theminimum circumscribed and maximuminscribed circles (ISO 1101).

5 This is theonly way of efficiently checking toleran-ces of components with a mating are eliminated by a highlyintelligent optimization next generation in CAD-based CMM gives you the freedom tofocus on dimensional analysis ofyour parts. Create measuring pro-grams to meet your inspectionrequirements. No more sequentialinspection plans, structured pro-gramming or messy select what you want tomeasure, in any order, andCalypso does the rest. Calypsohas intelligant tools that makepart programming simple necessary in USA,because software architectureThe object-oriented design of calypso pro-vides maintenance and simplifies software sup-port. The modern programming structure makesit possible to incorporate specific adaptationsand customized on the leading edge oftechnologyHardware and software are evolving at arapid speed. Only those who are open to tech-nological innovations can keep up with theircompetitors.

6 For your investment to be pro-tected in coordinate measuring technology, youneed a highly efficient platform. This permitsfast reaction times to market changes. Maximumflexibility both in hardware and software is theresult. The possibilities are calypso , you are using the same indus-trial standards as your customers. You can usethe result files, but also the convenience ofcurrent PC environments for powerful documen-tation in your production. Measured data andillustrations are transferred in table, presentationor graphics programs so that all standards ofmulti media applications can be the metrology room to the production floor anyone can use inspection plan insteadof sequential programs need to becreated with precision. WithCalypso, programming is per-formed within a specified testschedule. The system performsplausibility checks and allows youto continue with your measure-ment only if absolutely all infor-mation required for inspection according toinspection plan.

7 In a matter conventional systems, many program-ming steps need to be entered in only requires the geometry, test featureand stylus combination to be entered, bore2, diameter 30, stylus 4. From the combinationof this information calypso creates objects andautomatically generates the measuring inspection plan merges these objects, thesum of which represents the complete CNCprogram. Another advantage is the fact that thestructuring of the program into individual ob-jects allows new programs to be created bymeans of simple editing inspection scope practice, it is not always necessary tomeasure every geometric element. With Calypsoyou define a flexible inspection plan and sequen-ce by simply varying the inspection plan oncecreated. This means that you only get the resultswhich are actually program library reducesprogramming measuring part families, you can workwith an existing pool of master programs, inwhich not absolute nominal values, but para-meters are defined.

8 For the creation of the actualmeasuring program the nominal values areimported from the parameter modules. Then youcan quickly and easily generate a new measuringprogram. Corrections are also easy to and reliable programmingwithin the inspection level of automation forhigher speed and automatically generatesmany processes like the defini-tion of travel routes and measur-ing strategies, for example,which in the past had to beentered manually directly at automatically identifies geometricelements, generates probe paths and strategies,returns and travel paths between also performs automatic evaluations onthe basis of general stores programs for CNC stylus cali-bration which only have to be called up forrepeat calibrations. Unlike with conventionalsoftware, only the first probing contact on thecalibration sphere needs to be performedmanually, then the automatic calibration pro-gram takes paths a complex part for which the probe pathhas to be defined by many intermediate posi-tions.

9 In practice, it is quite easy to forget anintermediate position and the tracing of such anerror then takes longer than the programming ofthe actual measuring job. calypso generates theprobe path almost automatically. This means thatcollisions are virtually eliminated, as are time-consuming programming sessions and inefficienttroubleshooting on the automaticallyidentifies allgeometric access optionsdepending on the job and partsThe Measurement of die casts and the meas-urement of tiny gears for watches are complete-ly different. A high degree of automation there-fore figures only if the basic parameters can bemodified as needed and matched to the currentjob and the parts to be measured. Depending onthe application, calypso offers individual accessoptions such as the manual setting of interme-diate positions on complex and reliable routinemeasurementsManual measuring plays an important role ineveryday routine work.

10 In the past, such taskscould only be accomplished after lengthy mathe-matical alignment. For example, the mathe-matical alignment is monitored by dialog-drivenroutines and supported visually. In this way, calypso supplies the correct results basic steps are preset forspecific processes in sequences are example, mathematicalalignment, Measurement anddistance easier simplifies even complexprogramming procedures.
