Metris Releases CAMIO 6.0 Multi-sensor Metrology Software

By DE Editors

Metris (Leuven, Belgium) releases Camio 6.0 multi-sensor metrology software. Camio’s multi-sensor portfolio covers laser scanning on CMMs as well as tactile 3-axis and 5-axis REVO scanning. With new enhancements in 3D laser scanning support, Camio 6.0 strengthens its position as a multi-sensor software platform for offline programming and online inspection. Camio 6.0 enables part program creation to be performed independently from the selected sensor type. This offers unlimited flexibility when selecting the most appropriate sensors for inspecting virtually any type of component.

Plus, Camio 6.0 now supports the new Metris LC60D laser scanner. This fully digital laser scanner triples traditional scan rates and eliminates user interaction when scanning components with varying color or high reflectivity. Furthermore,  software algorithms enable Camio to inspect a broader range of generic and complex feature types, such as specialist fir tree connectors used on automotive sheet metal.

For prismatic tactile measurement applications, such as engine or powertrain components inspection, Camio 6.0 supports the Renishaw REVO continuous 5-axis tactile probing system.

Camio 6.0 incorporates a number of improvements that enhance ease of use. The Datum Wizard has been greatly improved and now supports 8 feature types and over 20,000 datum combinations. “Touch & Go” is a new development that automatically initiates a new program, sets the datum, or measures a feature whenever the operator uses the CMM handbox. Sensor management has been streamlined and now includes a new sensor explorer tree with a powerful context menu.
