PC-DMIS® Portable
Bringing metrology to the shop floor, portable measurement devices are rapidly changing the way manufacturers use metrology. With them, it is possible to perform more measurements and do more analysis on the shop floor where they have the potential to do the most good. They make it easy to monitor manufacturing operations and correct problems before they result in increased scrap and unnecessary reworks.

To take full Advantage of portable measurement machines requires software to match their unique capabilities. PCDMIS Portable does just that. It is a precise adaptation of PC-DMIS for CMM. Without compromising on usefulness, it makes it easy for shop floor personnel to measure parts with minimal training and maximum effectiveness.

PC-DMIS Portable offers a range of innovative features:

• Quick Start GUI – Programmers and operators can make full use of their machine’s most frequently used capabilities without being overwhelmed with detail.
• Any-order Measure™ – This powerful innovation lets operators probe parts in the most convenient and efficient order.
• Aligning contoured parts – PC-DMIS Portable makes short work of aligning the most complex parts. The optional CAD++ configuration includes a range of algorithms for best fit and iterative alignments.
• Arm as mouse mode – With the click of a button, operators can use the arm as a pointing device to choose menu items and select geometry.
• Sheetmetal Measurements – PC-DMIS Portable offers an optional library of sheetmetal measurement routines designed to meet the requirements of manufacturers of automotive parts.
• Cues for Measurement – Besides prompting users with text and graphics, the software provides a combination of dynamic audio and visual cues to guide them through the measurement process.
• Sharing Training – Because all EMS measurement products share a common look and feel, greatly reducing the need for costly cross-training and specialization.
