What are FOV measurement systems?

Measuring within the field of view (FOV) is a new way to accurately measure parts with fast measurement speeds, and accuracies over traditional methods such as comparators and vision systems. Use these systems for simple automatic measurement of your parts!

FOV vision measurement systems from Starrett in the US and new partner Sipcon in India, a leading manufacturer of high performance measuring systems for a wide range of industrial and medical applications.

Different types of CMMS?

Bridge CMMs are the most common and are used across all types of industry.

Gantry CMMs are usually specified where large parts need to be measured such as the automotive, aerospace and mining sectors.

Finally, there is the horizontal arm type of CMM – either single or twin arms and mainly used in the automotive sector.

Choosing the right software

CMM software is usually supplied with the purchase of a new CMM, which in some cases can limit choice and reduce future flexibility.

If possible choose an open-source CMM software platform for your CMM rather than the OEM’s own developed software which may lock you into using that particular brand in the future.

Typical CMM package

CMM
Controller for CMM
CMM measurement software and computer
Indexing head and probing system
Fixtures to hold parts to be measured

Field-of-View advantages

By measuring within the field of view (FOV) a major time saving can be achieved with all measurements being taken automatically and without moving the machine stage. The larger the FOV the larger the area of interest that can be measured.

Starrett systems can have large FOV measurement sizes up to 92 mm x 75 mm with the HDV100 Flip system.

Sipcon’s Part Quickie has FOV sizes of up to 150 mm x 110 mm with the SVI-PQ-150 model.

Latest CMM software

It is important to have the latest versions of CMM software installed on your CMM in order to achieve the best possible measurement efficiencies and to ensure that measurement reporting is capable of interpreting the latest GD&T call-out on drawings and CAD models.

With the constant updates of CAD software packages, it is important to have CMM software that will enable the importing of native CAD files into the software to avoid errors and to ensure full compatibility.

Right indexing head and probing systems

It is critical to select the right indexing head and probing system at the start of your CMM specification process. The wrong components may limit your ability to upgrade or get the best use out of the system in the future. Choose from quality systems such as Renishaw’s PH10 range of motorized indexing heads and touch-trigger probe systems.

Invest in CMM operator training

Whilst the CMM software installed on the CMMs supplied by Met Optix, is predominately very easy to use TouchDMIS CAD package; it is still important to reinforce the skills and the competencies of CMM operators in order to achieve the maximum productivity out of any CMM. With advances in CAD formats and regular updates in the software releases continuous hands-on experience and familiarity of the CMM system is critical in order to instil confidence and to assist production with validation and first article submission tasks.

Met Optix offers full initial and ongoing refresher training for CMM personnel, both on your CMM or through online courses tailored to your specific needs or requirements.
