Programs that measure the print, not just the part
Running without collision and correctly measuring the datum structure on the drawing are two separate tests a program has to pass. Alignment strategy, feature selection and probe access are worked out from the print or model before a single point is taken.
Large weldments and machine frames typical of this market's machinery builders often need multi-setup strategies and extended stylus configurations instead of a single fixed program.
What is covered
GD&T interpretation, datum structure, probe selection and reporting are handled together, on the platform the shop already runs.
Platform support
PC-DMIS, Calypso, MODUS, CAMIO, PolyWorks and Quindos programs are written and edited.
GD&T interpretation
Datum structure and alignment are built from the print or model, not guessed from the part.
Probe and stylus strategy
Probe head and stylus configuration are selected and qualified for the feature access required.
Scanning vs. discrete point
Scanning is specified where form and profile data justify it over single-point touches.
How a program is built
Print review
Datums, tolerances and critical features are identified before setup planning.
Fixture and access plan
Setup count and probe access are worked out for the working volume and part geometry.
Program build
The program is written and dry-run before first-article measurement.
Report output
Output is formatted for first-article or internal inspection records.
Why Milwaukee CMM Calibration and Repair
Large-part fixturing
Multi-setup strategies are built for frames and weldments that exceed a single fixture.
Platform-specific
Programs are written natively on the platform the shop already owns.
Print-driven, not part-driven
Datum structure follows the drawing, not the as-received part.
Coverage across Wisconsin and the Greater Midwest
On-site service is scheduled across southeastern and eastern Wisconsin. Ship-in service is available outside that radius by arrangement.
