Metrology Software Products (MSP) and IMS Software have announced a partnership to provide a joint solution by integrating MSP's advanced probing technology with IMS Software's IMSpost. "Working together, MSP and IMS provide a seamless solution supporting all major CAM programming systems on the market today," said a company spokesperson.
MSP, an associate company of global engineering group Renishaw PLC, develops and supplies 5-axis part manufacturing products for global aerospace manufacturers. MSP also supports critical defense contracts, such as the F35 Lightening II fighter jet production line for BAE. According to the company, MSP's NC-PerfectPart system has become a key element in the part production processes of prime aerospace groups around the world. It is designed to eliminate wasted production time, concessions and lost revenue due to high scrap levels.
IMS Software, Inc., founded in 1989, is a provider of NC post processing, verification and simulation solutions and services. It products are designed to address the needs of companies of all sizes, primarily in the automotive, aerospace and defense, general manufacturing and machinery, and electromechanical industries.
IMS Software's IMSpost Professional delivers advanced post processors that translate the output from computer aided machining (CAM) systems to the correct machine tool controller codes that enable NC-PerfectPart to generate the required part alignment information.
The IMSpost architecture allows building of bespoke machine tool and controller configurations through its architecture based on standard machine tool controls and complex machine tool kinematic models. "When combined, these create the correct virtual model of machine and control, providing risk-free delivery of data from CAM to machine tool," said the spokesperson. "IMSpost Professional delivers all the MSP required inputs automatically, reducing programming time and delivering a fully controlled process."
In addition, an optional integration with IMSverify provides full graphical simulation of the NC-PerfectPart process in the context of the virtual machine tool environment. IMSverify is fully integrated into the IMSpost Professional architecture and work in conjunction with the IMS adapters that provide the MSP integration.
