Enhanced Multi-Sensor CMM Software Version



LK Metrology offers its 8.5 version of the CAMIO CMM software with a range of features designed to help meet challenges in application environments.

"The CAMIO software allows the user to focus on accelerating lead times and improving product quality," said an LK Metrology spokesperson. "Whether inspecting stamped, molded or machined parts, CAMIO is designed to drive accurate and efficient inspection programs for geometric features along with full surface analysis with part-to-CAD comparisons. CAMIO's interoperability across CMM platforms, sensor technology and manufacturing sites becomes its unique advantage."

Programming updates include:

  • Reorganizing of RPS alignments
  • Improvements in angle between tolerances allows user to easily toggle between acute, obtuse supplementary angles
  • More precise and pronounced warning messages for users when setting machine/program parameters outside of min./max. limits
  • GOTO command now allows the user to specify the number of axes for move
  • Updated ACIS CAD engine and support for 3rd party CAD format.

CAMIO user interface improvements:

  • Window docking is significantly improved
  • CAD layers are now displayed in a separate window, providing easier access
  • CAD orientation buttons now allow user to keep current zoom level
  • Mouse/pointer coordinates now shown in the status bar allows for quick estimation of dimensions.

Laser and point cloud improvements:

  • New detection offset parameter for point detection
  • Export of point clouds in Geomagic GDP format.

Improvements to ease of use include:

  • Improvements in the set-up of the Machine Launch Utility for offline programming
  • Additional options for opening and/or printing CAMIO reports
  • Ability to relocate a single stall of rack instead of all the stalls.

The Renishaw PHS1 servo head and autochange rack are now supported, along with the Renishaw SP80 head and autochange rack.

"The shift from Nikon CAMIO to Lk Metrology CAMIO has been a smooth transition for our customers, and the new 8.5 version incorporates many of the needed enhancements that provides CMM users with greater measurement flexibility for better product conformance," said Dennis Freimark, LK Metrology's North American Chief Software Applications Engineer.
