…metrology tasks is an important part of ‘smart machining’ manufacturing processes. CappsNC provides capabilities to quickly develop measurement programs offline and run these programs directly on CNC machine tools in a similar way to a CMM. Measurement results are used to adjust machining process parameters such as calculating precise work offsets, dynamic tool compensations and other critical data feedback in an automated process together with providing complete part inspection and SPC reports. “This is a vital step in the digitalization of the manufacturing process, which enables parts to be manufactured with highest level of precision with full confidence directly from…
