by adding non-contact structured light inspection to the existing product range, which now offers five differ- ent probe families, each specifically designed to maximize the advantages
of 5-axis motion and infinite position- ing. All REVO system probes can be changed automatically and include tactile scanning, touch-trigger, surface finish, non-contact structured light and vision probes. They are all used within a common coordinate reference frame, providing the choice of an optimum tool to measure multiple features all on a single CMM platform.
The RFP projects a fringe pattern onto the part surface and the probe’s camera captures the variation in fringe pattern to build a point cloud of 3D surface data. The data cloud is then evaluated by the 3D metrology soft- ware to deliver the inspection results.
The company reports the RFP fringe probe does not require reference
markers to stitch together data from different areas, as this is done automati- cally by the REVO system. Coating the part in a matt substance is also unneccesary thanks to the automatic exposure compensation of different surface colors, textures and reflectivity, ensuring optimal data results.
Two new software tools provide easy-to-use inspection planning and digitizing. The RFP inspection planner is a tool for path planning and generat- ing DMIS part programs from CAD, while the RFP digitizer app guides users around parts without models, collecting data as part of a reverse engineering process.
The RFP probe is automatically and repeatably interchangeable with
