PowerINSPECT
• PowerINSPECT offers fast, reliable import of CAD data
• PowerINSPECT is the fastest and most comprehensive system for surface inspection
• System can handle thousands of points per second
Immediate results• PowerINSPECT
instantly displays results on the part
• Allows extra data to be gathered in suspect areas
• Allows immediate reporting of problems
• Detailed & clear• Easy to read• Easy to understand
Clear reporting
Product range
• Manual– Portable devices– Manual CMMs
• Point Cloud
• CNC CMM
• OMV
PowerINSPECT Manual• Market leader for
manual inspection• Largest percentage of
sales• Used by all major
OEMs in the rapidly-growing portable inspection market
• Hexagon and FARO have extended contracts recently
PowerINSPECT Point Cloud• Developed for inspection
– most other systems are developed from reverse engineering software
• Software is easier to use than competitors with better reporting
• Can combine point cloud data with single point inspection
PowerINSPECT CNC• PowerINSPECT
version for CNC CMMs
• Allows either teach-and-learn or offline programming
• Full simulation and collision checking based on PowerMILL technology
PowerINSPECT OMV• Measurement on a
machine tool• Allows errors to be
found where they can be corrected
• Allows in-process inspection
• Gives immediate scrap or save decisions
• Not intended as CMM substitute – final inspection is still recommended
PowerINSPECT Tubing
• Important for portable measurement suppliers
• Creates cylinders and intersections• Typical application: oil and gas
PowerINSPECT PartAligner
• Allows part location with an arm• Updates CNC controller with
correct position• Manual operation so mainly for
one-off production• Portable between machine tools
Recent developments
• 64-bit operation for larger parts and assemblies
• Faster, easier extraction of CAD data
• Loading of workplanes from all file types
All products
• Quick Report – single page summary
All products
All products• Ability to reuse points in multiple items• Allows features to be built from other items, e.g.
cylinders from circles• Minimises amount of measurement required• Provides consistency across measurements
All products• GD&T Improvements - easier GD&T creation• Pick item interactively and display item type
automatically• Support for CATIA and NX (Unigraphics)
• New simple measures
• Faster, easier creation of alignments
• Dimensions displayed on CAD
Manual version
CNC version
• Simulation Improvements• More flexibility to deal with collisions
CNC version
• Automatic surface inspection methods• Raster – fixed
spacing and stepovers
• Curves – spacing to match control points
• Shaded point cloud gives immediate impression of shape
• Ability to label single points within point cloud
Point cloud version
Conclusions• Customers increasingly demand higher quality –
more inspection is essential• PowerINSPECT allows errors to be found earlier
and corrected at lower cost• Broad range of options allows standardisation
– Less training saves time and cost– Easier comparison of results between devices
• Continued development will reinforce PowerINSPECT’s position as the world’s leading hardware independent inspection software
