subject: Metrology Software [print this page] Metrology is the science of measurementsMetrology is the science of measurements. Measurements of various aspects for quantity, distance, time etc has undergone several changes in the evolving human development. There are several standard ways of measuring sufficiently bigger divisions of weight and length and distance of objects conceived by human eye. But with the progress of electronics and precision machine industry micro measurements became essential with the aid of several advanced tools and machinery such as Profile projectors, CMM Coordinating Machines, video microscopy instruments etc to measure the areas of electronic circuits and inside micro objects of several online production machinery. These instruments are connected to computer controlled monitors hence Metrology Software gained prominence over the years.
Metrology Software is highly sophisticated software systems uses CAD and CAM programs to measure and calculate intricate machine designs. Metrology Software performs several operations while the probes of the measuring devises take high quality and high resolution video graphs and photo graphs of micro machinery parts. Metrology Software studies the actual dimensions of these micro measuring products and studies the deviation of actual products from the designs supplied by the manufacturers.Metrology Software is used by several industrial and design engineering companies to study the parameters and come to conclusions regarding quality aspects of the machinery. MSP are machines fixturing solution providers for the manufacturing industry. We help major manufacturing companies make perfect parts, every time using our NC-Perfect Part software suite.Every machine tool is capable of producing a perfect part - does yours? If poor fixturing is the cause, MSP will eliminate the problem for you. Save money, time, material, waste and reduce the uncertainty in your processes. Software PCDMIS developed by HEXAGON METROLOGY within the WILCOX Company equips all the range with of measurement of HEXAGON METROLOGY. This powerful and easy to use software allows a vast active field of application of simple manual measurement the scanning using a definition CAD of the parts. PCDMIS is also available off line in Simulation version allowing a reliable preparation of the range of measurement starting from definition CAD of the part. PCCDMIS also has many interfaces allowing of rtrofiter the majority of the machines of other marks. The retrofit of machines of measurement is an important activity of HEXAGON METROLOGY.The science of weights and measures. Metrology is an important part of semiconductor manufacturing where high-resolution tools are required to measure the tiny elements in a chip that continue to decrease year after year.Inspection has always been a vital part of the manufacturing process to ascertain that a product conforms to the original design specifications. This has led to the need for greater precision and flexibility in the usage of measuring systems.Additionally manufacturers need to ensure that the same quality standards and processes are applied for inspecting components across globally dispersed operations. Faster time to market is another key imperative as competition has an easy access to global markets. These business requirementsbesides technology trends like 64 bit machines capable of handling huge data, provide both challenges and opportunities for metrology suppliers to continuously innovate in order to meet the increasing demands.
