Hi, I 'm Jan Ehinger from Duwe-3d and today I'll show you how easy
it is to run guided serial measurements in the PolyWorks® software.
First, the project that you
want to measure has to be prepared
and it must be measured.
Next, you'll need the PolyWorks|Talisman™ application,
which you can download from the Apple Store
that enables you to remotely control PolyWorks
by using your mobile device. You'll also need a
QR code that you have generated and which includes all of the information
you need for this project,
such as serial number, part number or operator.
And last but not least, you'll need the component itself.
To start the inspection, I have a small program on
PolyWorks|Talisman that I can use to read the QR code.
Once the QR code has been read,
the correct inspection project
will automatically load.
To start the measurement, you have three options:
(1) you can click on the Play Inspection button on the IMInspect interface
the IMInspect interface.
(2) you also have the option to launch Play Inspection
directly in PolyWorks|Talisman;
and (3) when the part is loaded,
you can automatically go into the inspection process.
I will launch the Play Inspection directly in PolyWorks|Talisman.
And as you can see on the monitor
PolyWorks automatically predefined the inspection sequence.
Now I take the measurement system, in this case a Faro arm,
yet any other mobile measurement system can be used,
and I measure,
for example,
the surface point alignment.
As you can see, the user is completely guided
through the entire measurement sequence.
You don't even have to worry about switching between
the optical and the tactile measurement,
since this is completely controlled by the software, so that you can
focus on the measurement.
And once you've completed the measurement,
simply press the Stop button of your device, in my case the Faro arm,
and the inspection
is confirmed
which includes
the reports,
as you can see here with the updated snapshots
and the desired feature tables.
If you require statistical process control (SPC) evaluation, which is often needed in serial measurements,
you'll find the button Object Parameters SPC up here.
Of course you can use
this button only when you've
measured at least two components.
Which is what we're going to do.
There's also a small program in PolyWorks|Talisman
that automatically starts a new piece
and directly jumps into the measurement.
Once again, it's the same measurement procedure
as previously, and will also be for all the pieces that follow.
Once the second, and all other measurements are performed,
you simply have to press the Object Parameters SPC button, for each feature
available in your measurement process. You'll then get the desired
SPC analysis in a table form.
Next you have the option of using our in-house tool D3D++
to read the company-specific inspection plans and to
export into a company-specific format. But this will be for another time!
