A program that measures the print, not one that runs
Program development starts from the drawing or model, not the fixture on the table. Datum structure, alignment strategy and feature selection follow the GD&T as toleranced, not a convenient approximation of it.
Offline programming is built against CAD where available; online programming is run at the machine for parts without a usable model.
What's covered
Programs are built for the platform already running in the plant, with reporting formatted for PPAP and first-article submission.
- 01
Platform support
PC-DMIS, Calypso, MODUS, CAMIO, PolyWorks and Quindos, matched to the plant's controller.
- 02
GD&T interpretation
Datum reference frames and feature control frames read from print or model.
- 03
Probe and stylus setup
Stylus configuration and qualification strategy set for the feature set being measured.
- 04
Scanning vs. discrete-point
Strategy selected by feature type and required form data, not by default.
- 05
PPAP reporting
Output formatted for first-article and PPAP submission requirements.
Program development sequence
- 01
Print review
GD&T is interpreted and a datum structure and alignment plan established.
- 02
Fixture and probe plan
Feature access, fixturing and stylus configuration are set before programming begins.
- 03
Program build
Offline or online programming is completed on the specified platform.
- 04
