“PowerINSPECT helps us make sure that all the Fords, Chevys, Dodges and Pontiacs really have the same configuration as the baseline configuration approved for competition by NASCAR.”

Gary Nelson, NASCAR

Delcam is one of the world’s leading suppliers of advanced

CADCAM software solutions for product development in the

manufacturing industry.

The company has grown steadily since being founded in

1977 after initial development work at Cambridge

University, UK. It is now the largest developer of product

design and manufacturing software in the UK with

subsidiaries in North America, Europe and Asia. Delcam’s

software is used by more than 30,000 organisations in over

80 countries.

Dramatically reduce your setup times with Delcam

Fixture.

Delcam Fixture is a software fixturing solution that can

automatically re-align your toolpath to take care of part

misalignment or pre-machining variations. Complex parts can

be located and aligned precisely in minutes instead of hours

with Delcam Fixture. Your machine operator will only need to

roughly align the part on the machine and Delcam Fixture will

take care of the rest.

Do your parts need re-working, or do they have variations in

shape or profile that need to be considered before a toolpath

can be generated?

Delcam’s adaptive machining processes can automatically

generate new toolpaths to fit these components. Using

measured data from PowerINSPECT OMV, the inspection and

machining process is seamlessly blended together to give a

powerful adaptive machining process.

PowerINSPECT is the world’s leading hardware-independent inspection software. It can be used with all types of measuring

devices, including all major makes of CMM, as well as with portable measuring equipment and machine tools. It provides

a single platform for all of your inspection needs, boosting flexibility and minimising training costs.

For over 30 years, Delcam has been the innovator of CAD/CAM and Inspection software. Delcam PowerINSPECT delivers

rapid inspection of complex parts and tools by comparing the manufactured item with the 3D CAD model. The speed of

PowerINSPECT reduces inspection down time, minimising disruption to your production schedule.

‘Without the 3D CAD file and PowerINSPECT, I don’t know any other way we could have verified those dimensions’.

Gary Puhl, J.P. Pattern

‘We can now confidently inspect the most complicated parts we have, and give the customer a complete comparison of the part against the CAD model’.

Patrick Hill, Quality Manager Skar Precision Mouldings

Modern machine tools have very high accuracy measurement feedback systems; when used with today’s micron accuracy

measuring probes and PowerINSPECT OMV they become very versatile inspection tools.

The machine tool accuracy can easily be verified by measuring a calibrated component on the machine. Simply generate

an inspection sequence for the component within PowerINSPECT OMV to generate a probe path part program. Run the

program on the machine and view the results report. The machine verification report can also be passed to the customer

as a record of the machine’s accuracy.

Significantly reduce your inspection time by removing the need to transfer the component from the machine to another

measuring device. Verify any critical dimensions before taking the component off its fixturing, so removing break-down

and setup time should re-work be necessary.

Use PowerINSPECT OMV to prevent out-of-tolerance parts. Inspect them on the machine and give instant feedback to the

operator so that tooling can be replaced before it becomes an issue.

Create inspection sequences away from the machine tool and simulate them with confidence that the advanced collision

detection within PowerINSPECT OMV will help prevent possible collisions before they happen on the machine. PowerINSPECT

OMV can be used on machine tools fitted with most of the major manufacturers’ machine tool controls including; Siemens,

Fanuc, Heidenhain, Haas, Makino, Mazatrol, Mitsubishi, Mori Seiki, NUM.

PowerINSPECT gives you

The ability to manage complex CAD assemblies; the powerful CAD file manager allows you to: -

• Add and remove CAD files to create assemblies

• Visualise complex models and assemblies by managing multiple CAD models and levels with display switches and rendered colours

• Manage complex layered parts by creating user levels

The ability to measure simple geometric features, including GD&T, with or without CAD.

Simple extraction of nominal values from geometric features, directly from the CAD model.

‘Every job is different and the reports can be tailored to each one. The reports are clearer and much more detailed than anything we could do before, and we can insert a PowerINSPECT screen image anywhere we choose’.

Marty Heald, Concepts NREC

From manual inspection of simple parts to fully automated

inspection of complex profiles and geometry, PowerINSPECT

delivers. CAD models can be imported directly into

PowerINSPECT allowing the user to select which of the

critical dimensions and profiles should be inspected.

Market leading compatibility ensures all the mainstream

CAD software that you and your customers use can be read

quickly and accurately by PowerINSPECT. These include: -

• AutoCAD

• CATIA

• Cimatron

• Inventor

• Pro-Engineer

• Rhino

• SolidEdge

• SolidWorks

• Unigraphics

Industry standard formats such as : -

• ACIS

• IGES

• Parasolid

• STEP

• STL

• U3D

• VDA

Measurements are compared directly against the CAD

model, leaving no doubt as to whether the component is

correct.

Delcam PowerINSPECT supports portable CMM’s from the world’s leading CMM manufacturers, as well as

supporting some of the industries best known laser line probes.

From Play Only (where the operator runs through a pre-defined inspection routine) through point cloud

collection using a laser line probe, to large volume inspection with laser trackers, Delcam PowerINSPECT

is the solution when comparing a part to CAD, whatever the CAD format.

Whether using a tactile probe or a laser line scanner your

results appear on screen in real time.

Click the report tab and you can view your results in an ISO

9001 accredited report.

Add new items to your inspection routine and your report is

updated automatically. Add a visualisation of your on screen

results view to the report in one click.

PowerINSPECT is the fast, easy to use and cost effective

solution to all your portable inspection software needs.

PowerINSPECT’s world leading intuitive user interface gives a unique trouble-free user experience when creating CNC inspection sequences. Off-line programming of inspection sequences with full part collision detection, reduces the need to tie up the CMM for the creation of inspection sequences. PowerINSPECT features:-

Full CAD capability – intelligent picking and feature recognition enabling quicker and simpler creation of inspection programs. The ability to run macro and script applications, utilising the Automation functionality of PowerINSPECT, to create a bespoke operating environment. Stylus and probe changing rack support, to enable hands-free and automatic running of CMMs in a production environment.

Full I++ Connectivity – gives you the capability for connection to a greater number of CMMs.

PowerINSPECT offers support for 3-axis scanning

utilising the Renishaw® SP25 probing system

producing up to 30 times faster data collection, and

full 5-axis scanning with the Renishaw® Revo™ head,

utilising the Renscan5™ technology.

This allows supremely fast data collection from
