Breathe New Life Into CMMs



Verisurf Software offers complete manual CMM retrofits intended to transform a manual CMM into a high performance 3D model based inspection system by adding Verisurf X6 software and new USB communications.

"The surface plates and structures of manual CMMs are designed to last a very long time," said a company spokesperson. "However, the communications interface and operating software can become quickly outdated, lowering the device's effectiveness in today's production environment. By retrofitting a manual CMM to run Verisurf Software you add additional functionality and productivity features that are quickly becoming requirements of manufacturing and quality engineers."

Features include:

  • Model based definition/inspection with associative GD&T read directly from CAD, or users may create their own
  • Share the same software as portable CMMs
  • Read in all native CAD formats
  • Create rapid CAD alignments
  • Create HTML, PDF, Excel or AS9102 reports including InspectionXpert
  • Create real time display of complex profile deviations
  • Digitize, reverse engineer and create solid models
  • Operate in Windows 7, 32 or 64 bit
  • Use hard probes for digitizing and scanning.

The Verisurf retrofit of a CMM comes complete with a new USB interface along with Verisurf X6 software that is configured to the customer's specific requirements. Any necessary mechanical adjustments and complete geometric compensation are completed by Verisurf certified technicians. A Calibration Certificate is provided with the new verified accuracy of the CMM.

Verisurf software features include:

  • Inspection: Verisurf software supports both modern model-based measurement techniques and traditional blue print measurement processes. Measurement includes the import of any CAD model, creation of model associative GD&T, automated alignment of 3D CAD models to physical parts and real time probe position with deviation display.
  • Inspection Pro: Includes the functionality of inspection with the addition of advanced 6-degrees of freedom best fitting alignment, auto inspection programming, custom color deviation plots, results ballooning and analysis reporting.
  • Reverse Engineering: Digitize parts directly into CAD. Create, import, filter and edit point clouds. Create, import and edit STL mesh surfaces with hole filling, slicing, feature recognition and auto surfacing. Create and edit NURB surfaces including extruded, revolved and lofted surfaces. Create and edit CAD features including planes, holes and pockets.
  • Inspection Pro and Reverse Engineering: Bundles all the functionality of Inspection Pro and Reverse Engineering.
