Getting Back to CMM Basics
Art Whistler, Sales Manager for
Helmel Engineering, published an article on Getting Back
to CMM Basics in the November 2007 issue of
Manufacturing Engineering. Here is an excerpt:
|
If you make a product, it's
reasonable to assume that you constantly strive
to improve the quality of your product. What do
you do first? Instinctively, you review designs
for improvements, seek better materials,
optimize processes and packaging, even improve
the customer experience. There are many paths to
improved quality, and you should consider better
testing among the most important.....

Is your Geomet Connected?
Keeping you up-to-date with the latest changes and product support has never been easier. Geomet links directly to our product support site, iGeomet.com.
Through this connection you have access to context links
that navigate directly to a help page based on the
current action inside Geomet. Are you measuring a Circle
and need assistance? Just hit the <F1> key and Geomet
will locate the help pages for the Circle and take you
there.
Accessing help pages is just one way Geomet keeps
you connected. When you need support, our Application
Engineers can connect directly to you CMM through our
GeoConnect service. By connecting, we can perform
tests, make system changes and work directly with you on
inspection techniques. We will see what you see and we
can even press the buttons, access the menus as if we
were standing by your side.
If you are not connected, do so today.

Ellipse
With the release of Version 7,
we have added the Ellipse
feature to our feature measurement suite. Visit the
Ellipse help pages for a description of this new
feature.
Reference Sphere Definition
Another new feature in Version 7 is adding the Reference
Sphere to the graphics display. This is a small step in
the overall plan to bring the CMM environment visually
to your inspection process. To see how you can add the
Reference Sphere to your graphics environment,

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.
