Calypso – the Easy Way to Create Part Programs

1 Industrial Measuring Technology from Carl ZeissWe make it the easy Way to Create part Programs22 Visual MetrologyTMYou select the tolerances from the drawing orthe CAD model according to the requirements ofthe workpiece. You define the measuring ele-ments to be evaluated. The integrated assistanthelps you select the necessary references and,before you know it, your measuring plan is method of creating and maintaining meas-uring plans Visual Metrology is the basis ofCALYPSO. The advantages are at your finger tips: Create a measuring plan without programming asingle line! No time-consuming, structural pro-gramming. No difficult code or text editing. Con-centrate on what s really important the actualmeasuring measuring software thatreturns exactly the informationyou want within the shortest pos-sible time; measuring softwarewhose results can be understoodby everyone involved in the manu-facturing process; measuringsoftware that frees you fromtime-consuming, routine Calypso !

2 PhilosophyCAD model feature characteristicsElements are selected to createmeasuring programsDisplay of characteristics list in CALYPSO3 Intelligence through meaningfulsuggestions Test the roundness and the diameter of thebore is the task defined in the CAD model orthe drawing. This command is all Calypso needs to execute the measurement. Scan ahelix with stylus 4 , and Calypso knows exactlyhow to deliver the best result. Use your expertisein metrology in exactly the same meaningful suggestions for any metrologychallenge, Calypso offers you the experience ofmany users. You can follow these recommenda-tions or modify them based on your own the language of metrology expertsDo your customers expect results with ever shorter turnaround times, while the number ofdesign changes constantly increases?

3 Calypso prevents quality checks from slowingdown the entire process. Measuring plans can be easily created with Calypso . Should yourmeasuring tasks change, the measuring plan canbe easily adapted to the new to your tasksYou can use Calypso with different types ofCMMs. Calypso s strengths and advantages arecompletely independent of the measurements or an automated environ-ment? Calypso allows your measuring plans torun in a single-button operation or in a com-pletely automated environment suitable for vol-ume production. Do you need to program a structural componentseveral times on a workpiece? With CALYPSOyou can Create a process for structural compo-nents and use the same process over and having to program a single command! Calypso automatically generates the measurement proceduresCADP rogramming Direct interface to CAD Fast nominal value generation Accept dimensional and position tolerance Self-explaining offline programming Reliable measurement procedures throughsimulations Automatic stylus calibration Flexible adjustment of the measurementprocedure Measure from the program libraryHighlights45 Calypso .

4 A software for all tasksSoftware that you can use for allmeasuring strategies and tasks?Unthinkable until now. WithCALYPSO we revolutionize soft-ware programming for metrology. Whether for single point or scanning; manual orCNC; on a coordinate measuring machine or off-line, touch or optical; standard geometric formsor free-form surfaces no matter which mea-suring strategy you prefer: Calypso allows you tocomplete all your measuring tasks with one soft-ware. It is amazingly simple a click of a mouseis all that is needed. All measuring Programs areintuitively created with Calypso ; select thesame features that are used in your design s easy -to-use programming interface isunparalleled. There is no difficult learning curveas with previous software. Calypso employs the latest programming tech-nology.

5 This means faster and more reliable pro-gramming, saving both time and money. See foryourself! The third generation in scanning Make tolerances visible Fast manual measurements (when needed) Results at a glance Customer-specific display of results Fast protocol outputFrom a CAD model to a finished measuring program in no timeCALYPSO frees you from these tasks. Optimizingyour measuring plan and generating travel pathsfor collision-free measurements are a thing ofthe past. Customers created executable measur-ing plans up to 75% faster with Calypso thanwith conventional measuring with VAST Navigator, your measurementprocedures run up to 15-65% time you need to Create afinished measuring procedurefrom a CAD model is considerablyinfluenced by the amount of timeyou invest programming the mea-surement and creating a collision-free measuring procedure.

Multiple conversions,often leading to tolerance inaccuracies, orreworking the workpiece geometries are nominal geometrySo easy : load CAD files, select features in theCAD window automatically receive toleranceCharacteristic input are the magic words. Thisfunction allows you to extract all size and posi-tion tolerances directly from the CAD model andassign them to the associated this means for you: time savings of up to50%!

7 Program measurementAs soon as you have defined a feature, Calypso creates a measurement strategy. The strategy canbe modified at any time and transferred to simi-lar features. With Calypso , you can forget thewords travel path . Calypso moves the stylusaround the workpiece and correctly approachesthe features one thing less for you to to CMM By the time you have the part on your measuringmachine for the first time, Calypso proves thatthe rapidly-created measurement procedures canbe quickly adjusted. Changes to nominal values?Modified devices? Quickly make a few changesin Calypso and continue measuring. If you needto examine single characteristics for the manu-facturing progress checks, you can let Calypso measure them without any extra to the nominal geometryAdjust the incorrectly-programmed features witha few steps and continue measuring.

8 Calypso guarantees that the measurement strategy andthe stylus movements match the modified to a measurementYou can easily change the strategy used for afeature. With Calypso , you can immediatelyevaluate the effects the changes have on themeasuring result. There is no need to run theentire procedure want to measure, not pro-gram. Calypso simplifies a largepart of your daily know how it is. The moment your measuringprogram finishes, you notice the drill holes arenot where they are in the CAD model. During thefirst measurement you discover that the measur-ing strategy was not the best. You try to deter-mine the correct speed and point density. Duringthe run, you perform a quick in-betweenmeasurement that provides you with fast and easy way to correctresults.

9 Measuring plansProgramming9 The ideal system for every task: Calypso is completelymulti-sensor capable from measuring single points toscanning to optical measurements. With this software, youcan use almost the entire sensor portfolio from Carl use the ideal measuring system for every task with one and the same measuring proceduresCALYPSO offers special calibrating procedureswhen absolute accuracy is a must proceduresthat enable you to significantly reduce deviationswhen evaluating roundness and settingsCALYPSO also helps in the search for the smallestdeviations by setting the measurement parame-ters to their optimum values which guaranteesoptimum measuring quick measurements in betweenWith Calypso , it is possible to interrupt a mea-surement procedure to measure another part . Theinterrupted measurement can then be continued,requiring measurement of only the elementswhich had not yet been completed.

10 Quickly measure a distance or determine a diam-eter fast, manual measurements are a part ofeveryday measuring activities. Calypso does notrequire extensive training; Calypso interactivelyleads you to the right result. You can t measureany faster manually!10 Carl Zeiss is not only a pioneer inscanning, but also plays a leadingrole in scanning software. Calypso because not every software isalways as fast as the software packages are often only capableof displaying the contour by using mathematicaladjustments. Calypso , on the other hand, deter-mines the actual contour for form inspectionsof standard geometric elements as well as digi-tizing design models. Calypso is also designedto work with VAST Navigator our third genera-tion scanning generation of scanningVAST Navigator from Carl Zeiss is unparalleledtechnology when it comes to speed and accu-racy.
