GeoConnect! |
As
businesses reach
around the world,
keeping in touch and
providing timely
support often
struggles. With
customers at 3, 6, 8
or 12 hours
different from your
own, providing
support becomes a
real challenge.
We have developed
many tools to reduce
that distance and
time. These tools
include an in-depth
support web site,
www.iGeomet.com
to the real time
Internet based
GeoConnect system.
Using the GeoConnect
system provides a
direct connection
between the customer
and service
representative where
we can take control
of your system to
provide better
troubleshooting and
upgrade support.
Our support
representative can
see, navigate and
respond to prompts
from our Niagara
Falls office
directly on your
system. During a
support call, we may
suggest a
GeoConnect session.
The connection
process involves a
simple email that
provides a "session"
number which you
then enter in the
Support Session
web page. Answer a
few questions and
accept a small
program download,
and the connection
is complete.
Of course this value
added support can
only happen if your
Geomet system is
connected to the
Internet. If it is
not, consider adding
Internet support.
Your benefits from
system upgrades to
interactive help
extend the power of
Geomet!

September 25-27 - Quality Expo, Rosemont, IL
Helmel will be exhibiting at the Quality Expo in
Rosemont (Chicago) IL, September 25-27, 2007. Held
every two years in Chicago, this is the largest
exhibition in North America of inspection and
measurement instruments, devices, and software used
in the quality and reverse engineering fields. For
the first time the Quality Expo will be held in
conjunction with four other shows: Assembly
Technology, Electronics Assembly, National
Manufacturing Week, and Plastec. This insures that
there will be many hundreds of exhibitors (300 in
Quality alone), and tens of thousands of visitors to
these shows.
Helmel will be demonstrating several of our CMM
systems at the show, including the new
Microgage, the
Checkmaster, both sizes of the
Phoenix,
and a
Microstar with
UCC2 control and the
SP25 continuous scanning probe system. These are
hands-on demos, so we hope to see you there - and
bring parts to play with!
For more information and costs, please contact our Sales
Department at sales@helmel.com.

Keep your CMM Software Current
CMM Software is changing daily. New features and updates
are constantly being published. Keep your software
current with the latest changes by visiting our Geomet
web site download page at:
http://www.geomet-cmm-software.com/download.htm.
For those customers that maintain a
Software Service Contract (SSC), they receive an
automatic upgrade every six month, June and December.
Minor changes are posted on the web site and can be
downloaded and installed on demand. That is a benefit of
maintaining your SSC. To obtain additional information
on SSC programs, please contact our
sales department at (716) 297-8644 or
request information here.

Expanded Constructions
Engineers extend the measuring requirements beyond the
basic prismatic feature inspections. Often the results
can only be found through a combination of constructions
and creative setup work with your CMM software. Geomet
is designed to take on these construction needs with
intuitive and supportive tools.
Not all possible constructions are handled and the
Geomet programming staff relies on the operator doing
the construction to
submit a request for a new feature combination that
delivers the inspection solutions you are after. Please
visit some of our more expanded construction tools
below.
This list is just a sample of our extended construction
capabilities. To fully realize all of Geomet's
potential, navigate the
Geomet web site and browse the construction tools
pages found attach to any feature.

Need Help or
Suggestions?
To help you to
learn about the power of Geomet, we are launching a
series of tutorials and programming examples. Do you
need a specific example?
Please submit to us a request to include a tutorial
or programming example in future GeoNews editions.
