PowerINSPECT World’s leading hardware-independent inspection software Antony Hall Business Development Manager Delcam plc

PowerINSPECT PowerINSPECT offers fast, reliable import of CAD data PowerINSPECT is the fastest and most comprehensive system for surface inspection System can handle thousands of points per second

Immediate results PowerINSPECT instantly displays results on the part Allows extra data to be gathered in suspect areas Allows immediate reporting of problems

Clear reporting Detailed & clear Easy to read Easy to understand

Product range Manual Point Cloud CNC CMM OMV Portable devices Manual CMMs Point Cloud CNC CMM OMV

PowerINSPECT Manual Market leader for manual inspection Largest percentage of sales Used by all major OEMs in the rapidly-growing portable inspection market Hexagon and FARO have extended contracts recently

PowerINSPECT Point Cloud Developed for inspection – most other systems are developed from reverse engineering software Software is easier to use than competitors with better reporting Can combine point cloud data with single point inspection

PowerINSPECT CNC PowerINSPECT version for CNC CMMs Allows either teach-and-learn or offline programming Full simulation and collision checking based on PowerMILL technology

PowerINSPECT OMV Measurement on a machine tool Allows errors to be found where they can be corrected Allows in-process inspection Gives immediate scrap or save decisions Not intended as CMM substitute – final inspection is still recommended

PowerINSPECT Tubing Important for portable measurement suppliers Creates cylinders and intersections Typical application: oil and gas

PowerINSPECT PartAligner Allows part location with an arm Updates CNC controller with correct position Manual operation so mainly for one-off production Portable between machine tools

Recent developments

All products 64-bit operation for larger parts and assemblies Faster, easier extraction of CAD data Loading of workplanes from all file types

All products Quick Report – single page summary

All products Ability to reuse points in multiple items Allows features to be built from other items, e.g. cylinders from circles Minimises amount of measurement required Provides consistency across measurements

All products GD&T Improvements - easier GD&T creation Pick item interactively and display item type automatically Support for CATIA and NX (Unigraphics)

Manual version New simple measures Faster, easier creation of alignments Dimensions displayed on CAD

CNC version Simulation Improvements More flexibility to deal with collisions

CNC version Automatic surface inspection methods Raster – fixed spacing and stepovers Curves – spacing to match control points

Point cloud version Shaded point cloud gives immediate impression of shape Ability to label single points within point cloud

Conclusions Customers increasingly demand higher quality – more inspection is essential PowerINSPECT allows errors to be found earlier and corrected at lower cost Broad range of options allows standardisation Less training saves time and cost Easier comparison of results between devices Continued development will reinforce PowerINSPECT’s position as the world’s leading hardware independent inspection software
