PC-DMIS 4.3 Release

Hexagon Metrology is proud to bring you PC-DMIS version 4.3. This Enterprise Metrology Solutions platform brings together new aspects of PC-DMIS for the development of a complete manufacturing process control solution.

Available in this release are variations of PC-DMIS designed to assist with every aspect of the fabrication and quality control process. The newly created packages include PC-DMIS Laser, PC-DMIS Vision, PC-DMIS NC, as well as the established PC-DMIS Pro, PC-DMIS CAD, and PC-DMIS CAD++ platforms.

Major enhancements in PC-DMIS V4.3 for Windows 

  • Improved IGES CAD format importing speed and Graphics Capability
  • A new rotary scan feature creates a circular scan pattern on the surface of a part around a feature. This is particularly useful for checking dimensions of mating part surfaces
  • Fully configurable and customizable features iconized tool bars with more intuitive graphic user interface for easier operation
  • The tool bars can be floated anywhere on the screen or can be docked against any screen edge
  • User specific profiles, allow users to save the interface they use, including the placement of tool bars and windows on the screen
  • Includes the capability of fully automated probe qualification of all tools in a rack. The probe calibration can be saved by name to allow the user to recall a specific setup and run that setup. The software also allows the user to load and unload tools from the rack unattended for added efficiency
  • PC-DMIS offers Direct-CAD Interface (DCI) to such programs as Unigraphics NX, ACIS, CATIA Unix and CATIA v 5.0, Pro Engineer, SDRC and Solid Works. This allows users to create part programs directly on the native CAD model, utilizing the native CAD system algorithms and tools, eliminating any translation from the original CAD design intent, and also reducing programming time and improving accuracy
  • PC-DMIS Direct-CAD Translators allow the use of a native CAD model when the user does not own that specific CAD system. Files can be translated directly into PC-DMIS native CAD format, similar to IGES, but with no need for an IGES file to be first generated out of the CAD system. Direct-CAD Translators are available for CATIA, Pro Engineer and Unigraphics
  • In addition, PC-DMIS offers fully supported migration paths to existing Brown & Sharpe and Sheffield legacy software products such as MICROMEASURE 4, MEASUREMAX, AVAIL and TUTOR. These migration options include translators to effectively move existing part programs into the PC-DMIS environment as well as text editors and execution engines for the legacy products. Thus, current Hexagon Metrology customers can continue to use their exiting part programs while taking full advantage of the state-of-the-art power of PC-DMIS
  • Open architecture PC-DMIS is available on all new Hexagon Metrology machines and can be installed on existing Hexagon Metrology Group CMM (Brown & Sharpe, Sheffield, DEA, LEITZ)

  • Adapted for easy upgrading as a plug-in module to all Non-Hexagon Metrology Group CMM (ie: Mitutoyo, Zeiss, LK, Wenzel,..etc)

Additionally, this release provides you with the optional module of PC-DMIS Inspection Planner, an evolutionary step that provides a paper-less, completely electronic inspection process.
