Inspect is a standalone application that helps production-level CMM operators execute PC-DMIS measurement routines using a standard, simple graphical interface. In the latest release (5.0), INSPECT now accepts barcodes from any windows barcode or QR code scanner, to help streamline workflow.
Inspect is the evolution of the popular Single Touch Interface+ (STI+), with an elegant interface and a modern platform that offers much more adaptability and easier access to platform improvements and feature updates. STI+ was designed to be simple to configure from the administrator level and even simpler to use from the operator level. It allowed users to choose a routine from a list and run even the most complex PC-DMIS inspections without ever having to launch PC-DMIS. Inspect brings this same workflow into a modern scalable platform with added features and benefits based on user feedback and surveys from the PC-DMIS user forum.
Inspect 5.0 works with any Windows compatible barcode or QR code scanner to automatically load and run measurement routines and playlists or filter to find reports. This not only speeds up the workflow but also reduces operator error caused by manual input.
The latest version of Inspect has a new capability called ‘Dimension Sets’. This allows PC-DMIS mini-routines and marked sets to be available for selection from within Inspect (a capability that was widely requested by customers on ‘Idea Centre’). Selecting Dimension Sets can speed up the measurement process by allowing a subset of critical features/dimensions to be measured.
