ARCOCAD

ArcoCAD is a cutting-edge metrology software solution, designed to streamline and enhance the operations of Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM). This powerful tool allows users to efficiently program, simulate, and analyze measurement processes, making it essential for precision-driven industries. ArcoCAD is widely used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing, due to its flexibility and robust functionality.

CAD Integration for Seamless Measurements

One of ArcoCAD’s standout features is its integration with CAD models, which facilitates accurate and efficient measurement programming. The software extracts nominal values directly from the CAD model, allowing for quick setup and improved precision. Whether dealing with prismatics or freeform surfaces, ArcoCAD ensures precise alignment and reliable measurement results. This feature minimizes manual input, saving time and reducing the possibility of human error during the inspection process.

Offline Programming and Simulation

Offline programming is another key advantage of ArcoCAD. This feature enables users to create and simulate measurement programs without using the actual CMM. This results in increased machine uptime as programming can be done simultaneously with ongoing production. Additionally, the software’s built-in collision detection feature allows users to simulate the entire measurement path, ensuring that the program will run smoothly on the actual machine without causing damage or downtime.

Versatile Probe Support and Error Compensation

ArcoCAD supports various probe systems, including tactile and laser scanning probes, which gives the software versatility in handling different types of measurements. The software also includes a robust error compensation system for the CMM, ensuring that measurements are accurate even when environmental or machine-related factors could introduce errors. This makes ArcoCAD a trusted solution in high-precision environments.

Advanced Reporting and GD&T Tolerance Management

In terms of reporting, ArcoCAD generates detailed and customizable reports, including graphical representations of the inspected parts. It supports various formats such as text, Excel, and HTML, making it easy to share results with stakeholders. Additionally, ArcoCAD offers advanced Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) management, which is critical for ensuring that all parts meet the required specifications.

Compatibility with Multiple Hardware and Software Standards

ArcoCAD boasts high compatibility with a wide range of hardware, including different CMM controllers and probe systems. It complies with international standards like I++, ensuring smooth integration with various inspection systems. This flexibility allows companies to use ArcoCAD across different machines and setups without needing extensive customization.

Custom Modules for Specialized Applications

For industries that require more specialized applications, ArcoCAD includes modules like ArcoBLADE for turbine blade inspection and ArcoGEAR for gear measurement. These modules provide tailored solutions for industries that have unique inspection requirements, further extending the software’s usability and versatility.
