Metrology Software Release Brings New Capabilities to Inspection Machines
February 1, 2015
HEIDENHAIN has announced the latest release of a PC-based metrology software for 2D and 3D measuring tasks on inspection machines. Called the IK 5000 QUADRA-CHEK (version 3.1), this universal PC package includes the integration of the Keyence LK-G5000 series laser, and is now available to provide advanced functionality for both new and used quality control inspection equipment.
Notable features within the IK 5000 3.1 metrology software include:
- The ability to communicate with Optimet and Keyence lasers, providing laser support for a large scope of applications
- Enhanced 3D profile fit algorithms designed to speed part fits by up to 5X
- Ability to export measured features in the STEP format (including 3D features).
With the ability to operate on 32-bit or 64-bit PCs using either Microsoft Windows 7 or 8 operating systems, the IK 5000 3.1 universal PC package can be used when standardizing inspection packages in any quality control department. For retrofitting purposes, the IK 5000 can be used on a variety of brands and types of inspection equipment - such as CMMs and video measuring microscopes - making it easy to cross-train employees on many machines.
Existing IK 5000 customers can update their software to the latest version 3.1 free of charge, but should consult the machine manufacturer or their local metrology distributor before running the update to be certain that the current hardware and software settings are compatible.
