The EZ Launch Menu System provides a simple, Touch
Screen compatible user interface for your Coordinate
Measuring Machine in production environments. Most CMM
applications, including standard Geomet, requires that
the operator navigates the file storage system in
Windows to locate the desired inspection program. Some
applications offer a limited single touch system, or
single application button system. We listened to our
customers who have submitted suggestions on how to make
inspection program access even better.
There are two modes of operation for the EZ Launch Menu
System. One mode requires the interaction by an operator
to choose the inspection programs to run. The other mode
is an automated polling system that looks for the
presence of a script file or a digital I/O interface
with PLCs, via the USB port.
In the manual mode, the operator needs only to touch
a single button to invoke the inspection process and any
number of pre-defined inspection programs. In the
automated mode, Geomet waits for instructions from an
outside communication channel such as a file, digital
I/O or by reading the USB port. The operator, or a PLC
would direct Geomet which inspection programs to run and
which fixtures have parts located in them. The
inspection process will cycle through all designated
inspection programs freeing the operator to work on
other tasks while the inspections occur.
