CAMIO7 is a major software release, in many ways. This multi-sensor CMM software now reflects the latest from Microsoft Windows, featuring the ribbon style toolbar. This serves as the central location where all software functions are logically grouped into tabbed sections, containing all required operations. This eliminates the need to search through long menu structures. For example, GD&T tolerances are located within the Inspect group so that feature output is always available.
CAMIO7 was developed with every user profile in mind. One important design criterion was to combine powerful functionalities with easy to use workflows. Users can select any combination of features to measure by using “teach and learn” from the handbox, picking from a CAD model, or typing coordinates from the component drawing. CAMIO7 automatically programs the touch points for each feature. However, specific touch points can be defined if required. When highlighting a group of multiple features, their properties are automatically filtered down to allow global modifications to all the remaining common properties from within this group in a single operation. There is no faster way to modify the nominal coordinates, measurement mode, fitting algorithms or add GD&T tolerances, etc.
Laser scanning with CAMIO7 is now easier to use for feature inspection. The new software interface allows both feature related measurement and reporting to be defined together. Such improvements reduce programming time drastically, especially for more complex parts that exhibit hundreds of features. For measuring surface areas, CAMIO7 users can simply cover the target area with a configurable grid to automatically define the measurement points. Also, CAMIO7 includes full support for laser scan area definition, making it possible to use the scan data for reverse engineering or surface analysis. CAMIO7 offers true multi-sensor capability and simplified probe management to change between contact and non-contact probing within the same measurement program. In this way, the best CMM inspection routine for the application is achieved.
