PowerInspect can be used with a wide range of inspection devices, including articulated arms, laser trackers, scanners, coordinate measuring machines, and machine tools.
00:13
We have extensive protocols included that allow PowerInspect to capture live data during the inspection process.
00:21
To capture live measurement data, PowerInspect must be connected to the device using one of our connection protocols.
00:28
When working with multiple documents, the active document must be attached to the hardware device to carry out the inspection.
00:37
This inspection sequence has been created to be measured with a manual CMM.
00:43
To connect PowerInspect to the device, first make sure the device is turned on and is connected to the PC, then navigate to the Tools tab and click the "Configure" option.
00:55
Here we choose the correct protocol for the device.
00:58
The same inspection sequence could just as easily be measured using an articulated arm.
01:04
Just select the correct protocol from the list, set the probe that is going to be used, then attach the document to the device to begin measuring.
01:14
When using machine tools for on-machine verification, inspection programs are created with probe paths.
01:20
The inspection program is exported from PowerInspect as an NC program using a post processor.
01:27
Post processors are available for all mainstream machine tool controllers and are configured for the machine controller combination by your reseller.
01:36
The NC programs are executed on the controller in the same way as a machining program is executed.
