Quick to start, fast results
WALK-IN MEASUREMENT
CMM-Manager offers clear and simple user interfacedesign and enables the operator to quickly measure
complicated features, such as hole patterns, inminutes.

GRAPHICAL DIMENSIONING
CMM-Manager provides intuitive and easy-to-usegraphical dimensioning tools. The operator can quickly
snap measured features on the screen to displaydimensions including distance, angle, and size.
WEB-READY REPORT
CMM-Manager allows the operator to quickly create a web-ready HTML report which can be emailed to customer orpublished on company intranet for information exchange andsharing.

Easy to use, easy to analyze
TRUE CLICK-AND-MEASURE CAPABILITY
CMM-Manager offers true click-n-measurecapability. The operator picks the featureon the screen. CMM-Manager automaticallyselect the proper probing angle and generatesa collision-free path. The operator thensimply clicks the measure button to confirm
the selection, and the CMM measures thefeature rapidly. This allows the user toconcentrate on the feature measurementand reporting instead of spending hours tomanually program probe angles or collisionfree paths.
ICONIZED PARTPROGRAMREPRESENTATION
CMM-Manager organizespart program using clear,easy-to-understand iconrepresentation. Each iconrepresents a measure,a construct or a reporttask. This task-orienteddesign eliminates thestruggle of dealing withlengthy text based partprogramming.
CAD-BASED GRAPHICAL PROGRAMMING
CMM-Manager provides comprehensive graphicalprogramming tools for the operator to easily createinspection programs directly from CAD model. Thesepart programs can be easily modified and visuallysimulated to verify the execution.

DRAG-AND-DROP GRAPHICAL REPORT CREATION
CMM-Manager provides drag-and-drop function foreasy graphical report creation. The operator can simplydrag a report item from the report database tree to thegraphics report window to instantly create a graphicsreport table.
CROSS SECTION & FREE FORM SURFACE SCANNING
CMM-Manager allows the operator to easily define acutting plane for cross section scanning or to pick afree form surface for digitization.
GRAPHICS ASSISTED TOLERANCE REPORTING
CMM-Manager highlights reporting and datum features
for easy feature identification, and illustrates reportingdimensions and tolerances in the graphics window foreasy visual confirmation.

AUTOMATIC PROBING ANGLE SELECTION
CMM-Manager automatically selects the best
probing angle to measure features. When necessary,CMM-Manager will select multiple probing angles inorder to inspect difficult-to-measure features suchas deep pockets and through holes.
Smart features for accurate inspection
AUTOMATIC COLLISION AVOIDANCE
CMM-Manager intelligently modifies probe moving path toavoid any obstacles along the path once a probe collisionis detected. As this is done automatically, it smartlygenerates completely collision-free inspection path.
ITERATIVE DATUM ALIGNMENT FOR
SOFT FIXTURING
CMM-Manager provides powerful datum alignmenttool which aligns a part to designated datum points.This soft fixturing function eliminates the needof dedicated hard fixtures and helps customersto reduce high cost in hard fixture fabrication andmaintenance.
BEST-FIT ANALYSIS FOR IMPROVED INSPECTION ACCURACY
CMM-Manager has a built-in best-fit analysis engine to compare measurementdata with the CAD model. This powerful best-fit function eliminates the influence
of misalignment and cosine errors in tolerance evaluation to achieve the bestinspection accuracy.

Efficient portable measurements
CMM-Manager supports tactile measurements using portable CMMs such as articulated arm and K-SeriesOptical CMM. With a user interface featuring large icons for better visibility, the CMM-Manager is a highlyintuitive, easy-to-use metrology software for inspection tasks at the shop floor covering a wide range ofmeasurement volumes. Beside the rich, inherent functionalities for CNC and manual fixed-bed CMMs,
CMM-Manager contains also smart features for portable arm measurements.

A POWERFUL COMBINATION
Tightly integrated with Metris MCA 6 and 7-axis articulated arms,CMM- Manager guides the user through every measurement task.CMM-Manager also supports popular articulated arms such asFARO, Cimcore, Romer, Microscribe,etc
K-SERIES SPACEPROBE FOR MEASURING LARGE COMPONENTS
The K-Series Optical CMM with SpaceProbe allows measurements
in a working volume up to 17m3
in a range from 1,5 to 6m. As suchcomplete vehicles can be easily measured in one track.
LEAP-FROGGING TO EXTEND WORKING VOLUME
In case the workpiece exceeds the available working volume,CMM-Manager supports moving or flipping the work pieceduring the measurement process. This function enables anportable arm operator to measure workpieces larger than theworking volume of the measurement system.
GUIDED PLANE MEASUREMENT FOR 2D FEATUREMEASUREMENT
This feature enables the operator to setup a guide plane withspecified tolerance zone when measuring a 2D feature witha portable CMM. Measurement points will be taken when theprobe crosses the selected guide plane and within the specifiedtolerance zone.
GUIDED MEASUREMENT FOR TACTILESCANNING
The operator can select a guidance feature such
as a plane, line, cylinder, cone, sphere or a CADsurface with a specified tolerance zone whenmeasuring a point cloud with a portable CMM.Measurement points will be taken when the probecrosses the selected guidance feature and withinthe specified tolerance zone.
AUDIO / VISUAL GUIDANCE
With this new feature, the user can setup atolerance zone and CMM-Manager will changeaudio tone and color depending whether the probe
is inside or outside the specified tolerance zonewhen the watch window is open.
