GEOPAK-WIN is a 3D data analysis and CMM programming software. It include all features of geometric measurement program in which the measurement of point, circle, ellipse, sphere, cylinder, step cylinder, contour, intersection of elements etc. are possible.
Measurement errors in circularity, cylindricity, concentricity, straightness, coaxiality, flatness, parallelism, perpendicularity, angularity, runout etc.can be determined using this software. Measurement results are available in tabular/graphical form.
SCANPAK-WIN records Contours and surfaces, compares the scan data with nominal data generated by the CAD system. It calculates geometrical elements at a contour after scanning and exports the data to formats like IGES, FANUC, TC-APT etc.
Coordinate metrology based on the use of CMMs offers tremendous advantages as compared with conventional dimensional metrology. CMM could able to perform large number of measurements that was previously performed by a number of individual measuring devices. Advances in CMMs in the last few years with the help of powerful softwares and computers and with more precise evaluation methods have resulted in improving the accuracy and speed of measurement. The application of CMM data scanning in reverse engineering is another dramatic achievement in the field of metrology.
