VERISURF UNIVERSAL CMM
Case in point, EMS’ Mitutoyo and Wenzel legacy CMMs did not support the open I++ protocol to facilitate integration. Verisurf Universal CMM software was able to provide an open standard communication protocol,
allowing EMS to continue using the legacy CMMs while gaining the consistency of interface, operation and reporting with Verisurf. By incorporating the Verisurf CAD-based metrology platform across their manufacturing enterprise, EMS gained the flexibility to choose the right measuring device for each job, while realizing increased efficiency and reduced training, data management and support costs.
“Verisurf is our quality inspection and reporting platform, we use it to control all of our measurement devices, process measurement data, and generate custom reports,” said Szabo.
VERISURF SOFTWARE SUPPORTS THE GROWTH OF METROLOGY AT EMS
Since implementing the software solution, a Coord3 CMM, which uses the open standard I++ protocol, has been added along with two Faro portable CMMs a Faro scanner and laser tracker. This has further improved capacity in the quality lab and allowed for in-process inspection on the shop floor. “Integrating new hardware into our measurement toolset is easy, the team is already
