1 / 2 Curves and Surfaces M41-719-QNT-001

Curves and surfaces cannot be described with standard geometric elements. The packageCurves and Surface s provides the tools to compute and evaluate 2D and 3D curves as wellas free form surfaces.

Points on nominal curves can be generatedaccording to mathematical functions.

Example:Generation of probing points on a scroll usingthe formula :

X = sina + k x tan(y)Y = 1 + cos k

Best-fitting of two point sets or 3D curves.

The transformation between them, as well asactual-nominal comparison of each pair ofpoints can be calculated.

CAD-generated surfaces can be compared with the measured part surface. The definition ofthe surface must be in VDAFS format.The following VDAFS data types are currently supported :CIRCLE, SURF, FACE, CONS, TOP and GROUP .3D surfaces and standard geometries can be combined.The probing points on the surface can be created by :• Manual probing with the CMM• Clicking on the surface

• Automatic point generation based on the CAD information.

The measuring points can beprocessed in QUINDOS to createeither NC files according DIN 66 025,or into other CAD formats.

The NC files can be directly loadedinto DCC milling machine controllers.

The VDAFS interface (DIN 66 301) can be used to exchange data, in particular datadescribing curves and free form surfaces, between different CAD/CAQ/CAM systems.The file is in a sequential, readable format.VDAFS elements can be converted into QUINDOS elements for further processing.The VDAFS interface is part of the option Curves and Surface s.

For inspection of free form surfaces this packages provides several features.

Unknown surfaces can be digitized, using a DCC Coordinate Measuring Machine witheither a scanning or a touch trigger probe system.On the part surface (patch) several probing areas can be defined, within which the CMMprobes in predefined, user-selectable patterns.

CMM Error Simulation M41-291-QNT-001

The measuring errors of a CMM are described in the ISO standard 10 360: “Performance ofcoordinate measuring machines”. Usually the volumetric length measuring error E and thevolumetric probing error R have to be specified by the CMM manufacturer.

These errors are valid for clearly defined test procedures. At the inspection of real parts theerrors are different. That is because often probe extensions are used with an increasedmeasuring error. Furthermore the probing error at a datum measurement can lead to a muchlarger error on a feature a certain distance away from that datum.

The package CMM Error Simulation works in the following way:

First the probing error R is entered, either the value from the data sheet or, if extensions are

used, the R-value obtained from a R -test with the extension.Then an existing QUINDOS part program is executed up to a hundred times, with the “real”CMM switched off. At every run the virtual CMM generates measuring points, distributedaround the nominal points. The range of those points depends on the R value entered.QUINDOS takes this points as if they would come from a real CMM and calculates all thefeatures.

Finally the range of the result for each feature is evaluated statistically.

By repeating the procedure, using R -values of different CMM’s, the operator can analyzewhich CMM is capable of inspecting a certain workpiece.

Furthermore the effects on modifications of the measuring strategy (i.e. using shorterextensions, increase the number of probing points at critical datums etc.) can immediately beevaluated.

Example: Range of concentricity result, 50 virtual measuring runs

CMM A: R = 1µm CMM B: R = 3µm

CMM Test with Ball Plate M41-180-QNT-001

The performance of a CMM can be checked in regular intervals by using a calibrated ballplate.The program CMM Test with Ball Plate was developed according to the guidelines specifiedby the German working group “Überwachung von Dreikoordinatenmessgeräten mitKugelplatte”. It is certified by the PTB (Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt - nationalbureau of standards) in Germany.The evaluations are according to VDI/VDE 2617, page 5.

The program is in three parts:

1. Test of the probing system, using aring gauge and a reference sphere.The result of this test is the probinguncertainty and the repeatability of theprobe system of the CMM.

2. Measuring and evaluating a ball plate.This test evaluates the geometricdeviations of the CMM in comparisonto international length standards.

3. Graphic and numeric output of themeasurement results according to theVDI/VDE 2617 guideline, page 5.

Note: This option requires a calibrated ball plate.




Automatic Gauge Inspection M41-068-QNT-001

Further gauge types can be implemented on request.

All results can be transferred via a user defined ASCII interface to an inspection tools

administration system.This option should only be used in connection with a coordinate measuring machine of thehighest accuracy, for example a Brown & Sharpe PMM-C 700 P.

The patented clamping system for a variety of gauges from Brown & Sharpe GmbH inGermany is required to use this option. It can be individually adapted to suit otherapplications.

Single ovality (Circle with double sine overlay )Formula:

r(? ) = Radius – (Ovality/2) x sin(? -?o )2

Double ovality( Single ovality with a quadruple sine overlay )Formula:r(? ) = Radius – (Ovality/2) x sin(? -?o ) 2-Overlay x sin( 2(? -? 1))

utilization using pallet measurement

- easy setting up, no centering required

- significantly reduced inspection costs

The GEAR package allows individual definition of tolerance zones as well as modifications ofthe profile and the flank. Various evaluation formats can be selected so the results can becompared with those of conventional gear testers.

Gear M41-725-QNT-001

The option Gear extends the capability of a high precision CMM, enabling it to measure

parts usually inspected on gear testers.

Helical GearsThe moving path, probing points and scan lines are automatically generated in QUINDOSaccording to the nominal gear parameters (No of teeth, module etc.). Pitch and runout canbe measured by self-centering, scanning or single point probing.The quality class of the gear is determined based on the DIN, ISO or AGMA quality charts.The individual pitch error as well as the cumulative pitch error, with or without eccentricity,can also be evaluated.

QUINDOS

• Generation of moving path and probing points.• Evaluation of runout and pitch• Size over pins



QUINDOS knows automatically what tomeasure in order to arrive at the requiredresult. Only the selected features arecalculated and evaluated.

QUINDOS computes the shortest travel pathbetween the individual features, ensuring

maximum machine utilization and significantcost savings in a very short time.

This package is useful for the inspection ofcomplex parts, such as cylinder heads orengine blocks. In particular if the samecomponent has to be measured at differenttooling steps. From one master program,containing all elements, the sub programsfor each tooling step are easily created.

Only one “master program”, whichcontains all of the part features,needs to be maintained.

Results from different CMM’s canbe compared, because the samepoints and probing strategies areused (this is particularly importantif results from purchaser andsupplier must be compared).

An essential requirement for ISO9000!

Gauging of Points and Elements

M41-739-QNT-001

This packages provides several best-fit programs for a variety of applications.


QUINDOS

One of them is the 2D best -fit of hole patterns.The number of holes is not limited, and up to 2datums can be considered for the best-fit.The best-fit minimizes the distance of themeasured hole to the circle enveloping thenominal position. The diameter of theenveloping circle is determined by thepositional tolerance, plus any MMC on the

hole. The position of the hole pattern beforeand after fitting is plotted.

Conventional mechanical gauges consistof a collection of geometric elements in theform of a negative of the part to beinspected.Such a gauge can be simulated usingtheoretical geometric elements. Thetheoretical gauge is used to simulate the

pairing. The result is the same as with amechanical gauge, except that if the part isout of tolerance, the points out of toleranceare marked.

When inspecting gothic and elliptical profiles or homo -kinetic joints (also called Constant-Velocity Joints), this option can be used to find the center coordinates and contact pointsof a nominal circle, which is ‘centered‘ in the measured profile.Furthermore the maximum clearance between circle and profile is evaluated.
