Professionals wanting a tool to automate their entire CAD-based CMM programming process
About MiCAT Planner
MiCATPlanner enables more flexible measurement by complying with customizable measuring rules that can be set as needed. Depending on the feature type, size, and other criteria, the operator sets the number of measuring points, their distribution, and speed for touch-trigger or scanning probes. Several sets of rules may be applied simultaneously according to manufacturing or customer requirements. Save up to 95 percent on CMM part program creation time. Reduce parts programming labor costs. Minimize potential costly and damaging probe collisions. Ensure maximum efficiency with a virtual pre-run measurement program. Select characteristics, features, and measurement point sets to include or exclude from the measurement plan. Automatically apply individual or global measurement strategies for all part programs or specific programs. Explain features that can’t be measured like missing GD&T, probe angle not defined, etc.

ZEISS CALYPSO
ZEISS CALYPSO measures geometrical elements simply, quickly and reliably. Just click the desired features to configure inspection plans. Combined with ZEISS measuring systems and sensors, you will have a powerful one-stop system. The software will also adjust to your demands. Due to numerous optional add-ons, ZEISS CALYPSO also offers the right tools for special requirements. Create inspection plans with just a few simple clicks and without any programming skills. ZEISS CALYPSO is programmed directly at the workpiece or graphically at the CAD design. Optional add-ons allow you to create and store entire CNC inspection plans on a remote workstation. ZEISS CALYPSO automatically creates inspection plans based on PMI data including all relevant features and characteristics. With the integrated tool for developing measuring strategies, you either implement company-specific measuring strategies or you optimize your inspection plans based on recommendations made by ZEISS.

OGP TurnCheck
TurnCheck software is fast and easy to program with a focus on what you want to measure rather than how to measure it. Automatic feature extraction immediately finds and measures all part features in a single scan. A single image displaying the entire part allows you to easily see all basic shaft measurements at once. Rotational scans can be done for form and runout measurements providing plots to truly visualize the results. Pre-programmed parts are automatically rotationally aligned allowing for fast and intelligent one-touch measurement every time. For effortless thread analysis, a large variety of common types are part of an integrated thread library to quickly obtain results such as pitch and major/minor diameter. Data points can be compared directly to a DXF model including 2D GD&T analysis. Additional data points can be output to optional SmartProfile® software for 3D analysis and advanced GD&T.

Renishaw MODUS
Renishaw's MODUS software provides a powerful platform for 5‑axis measurement. A configurable user interface allows native DMIS programs to be developed offline, drawing geometry, embedded dimensions, and tolerance data from CAD, with full simulation. The software includes certified algorithms for feature measurement, feature construction, and part alignment. Programs can be created offline directly from CAD with on-screen probe path verification. The CMM environment, the fixture, and the location of the part on the machine can all be defined, enabling full simulation of 5‑axis measurement programs. This minimizes CMM downtime as programs arrive at the machine ready to run, with little or no prove-out time required. The reporting capability of MODUS is extensive, including traditional CMM text reports with comprehensive user-defined formatting. Graphical reporting enables results to be displayed against the CAD model, including whisker charts or 3D form plotting for many features.
