The Inspection Toolkit Suite

Features

The Inspection Toolkit Suite fills the "Gap" to speed the integration of UGS's Tecnomatix eMPower Quality© products into new and existing lab and shopfloor production metrological environments.  

It is a 3-in-1 application which provides an inspection JobBuilder to define and package inspection related data for information rich interoperable environments and consuming applications such as InspectIt!. InspectIt! is an Inspection front-end wrapper to simplify the user interface and provide built-in checks and verifications to insure accuracy and assurance. Last but not least the suite includes a .dml graphical reporting solution allowing operators to fully understand the results of the inspection in only seconds. Together the suite simplifies, and automates programming as well as tasks on the shopfloor so programmers and machine operators both can concentrate on metrology and manufacturing process, not the Coordinate Measuring Machine(CMM).

The Inspection Toolkit Suite
Version	1.0
Technology	.NET (fw1.1)
> Modules include JobBuilder, InspectIt!, and DMLToolkit Fills the Gap to speed integration for new and transitioning environments using UGS's Tecnomatix eMPower Quality© products
> Integrated within UG eMPower Quality(c) Once the inspection program is complete and exported via JED(c), the inspection programmer simply picks JobBuilder(c) from the eMPower Quality menu for a seamless integration.
> Comprehensive Integration Solution The Inspection Toolkit Suite provides integration software to streamline implementation of UGS Tecnomatix eMPower Quality© products through automation, packaging of inspection jobs, easy to use shop-hardened configurable user interfaces, graphical reporting for .dml, customized reports, and support for downstream applications.
> Refine packaging flow Once the inspection program is done the work is not over. The Inspection Toolkit Suite refines the flow of packaging inspection related data and information required for downstream processes and consumers. The suite provides programmers the tools to manage job specific information, such as work instructions, special notes, and input requirements from the CMM operators. Configuration is easy through the use of templates to minimize repetitive tasks.
> Improve productivity and incur cost-savings Streamlining the creation and configuration of inspection jobs which flow down and are interoperable with downstream consumers such as the CMM operator interface, graphical reporting, and built-in verification and checking in the workflow help insure accuracy and provide standardization on the shopfloor or however the tools are used.
> Open and Extensible The Inspection Toolkit Suite was designed with a stable and highly extensible framework in mind. It is flexible enough to handle tough integration requirements. The overall system provides a common system architecture and graphical user interface and provides critical feedback for CMM operators, machinists, programmers, and engineers through the use of emerging technologies.
> No Programming Required The Inspection Toolkit Suite automates so you don't have too. JobBuilder allows dynamic configuration of the whole system. CMM Programmers are not required to know any programming languages to get the job done.
> Derived Tolerances® Derived Tolerances provide a method for programmers to create new tolerances based upon other tolerances in simple or complex formulas using the built-in Derived Tolerance calculator. Creating tolerance such as taper or calculating area using multiple standard tolerances are greatly simplified and require no coding expertise to calculate or report them.
> Full encapsulation of the Inspection Job All the aformentioned information , configuration, settings, derived tolerances, tolerance attributes, etc are stored within the "Inspection Job" created by the JobBuilder. The information is forever encapsulated with its revision record.
> Comprehensive Set of Tools The Inspection Toolkit Suite will continue to grow in a direction that supports integration, maintenance, reliability and continues to leverage emerging technologies.
> Supports I++ DME The Inspection Toolkit Suite provides the tools to directly evaluate errors that occur during program execution. InspectIt! the front-end inspection wrapper of UGS Tecnomatix eM-Inspector© will react to errors that occur during program execution. InspectIt! instills integrity in the system by evaluating error conditions and determining if probe tips should be check and verified after such errors as an unexpected hit.
