Modern Cam purchases Romer Absolute 7520SI
The Romer® Absolute 7520SI portable coordinate measuring machine with integrated scanner from Hexagon Metrology has added a whole new dimension to our reverse engineering and inspection capability. We are just starting at the tip of the iceberg in realizing the many benefits of this versatile piece of equipment. The 30,000 points per second scanning capability in a movable unit provides the power to quickly create data on organic shapes to an accuracy of .0023 in. The device has automatic probe recognition with seamless scanning and probing interchangeability. This is particularly helpful when the probe accuracy of .0013 is required for aligning a part to be scanned or for measuring a feature on a part.
By using PC-DMIS Reshaper™ software, we have the tool to process, mesh and edit point cloud data in a fast and efficient manner to facilitate the creation of NURBS surfaces for export to 3D file formats. We also use ReverseEngineering.com® native plug-in software , HIPP™ (a Solidworks® Gold Partner),as a bridge between the Romer Absolute arm and Solidworks® CAD software to create sketches on the fly for the purpose of developing full parametric models. This eliminates much of the wasted time and inaccuracies that can result from creating measurements with micrometers, calipers, height gages, etc , writing down the data, and transferring the data to the CAD software manually. Our NURBS surfaces and parametric models are ready for creating accurate drawings, STEP or IGES files , or Solidworks® models to be used for manufacturing, 3D printing , or product renderings.
