QUINDOS and Your Choice of Machine

HEXAGON Metrology Software
Your choice of machine 
With I++DME into the future



QUINDOS has its sights set on the future: I++DME is an integral part of every installation. Every CMM which supports this interface can be used with QUINDOS. As a result, machines from different manufacturers can be used with one and the same software and produce the same comparable results.


Users can now select the most appropriate software for the measurement in question. The probing method most suited to the application and machine type is always selected.


Because this interface is only available on new machines, QUINDOS drivers are available for existing CMMs and form testers from Mahr, Hommel and Adcole.


QUINDOS also has routines for calibrating all of the various probing systems and probe changers.


Even „virtual measuring devices“ can be controlled through this interface like the I++Simulator or the 3DReshaper from Hexagon Metrology


An automobile industry working group has been working on standardising interfaces in the CMM industry since 1999.


The most wide-reaching result of its work is the I++DME (Dimensional Measuring Equipment) interface, a universal standard for CMMs, form testers and other length measuring instruments. All of the leading machine manufacturers have implemented the I++DME interface.


Simplifying the data exchange between CAD systems and measurement strategies is one of the next goals of the working group.


Hexagon Metrology PTS has worked closely with it since its inception. The implementation of their standards in QUINDOS is secured.

HEXAGON Metrology Software QUINDOS - Coordinate metrology software QUINDOS is the most powerful analysis tool for many types of coordinate measuring devices and differing applications, mainly in power plant, automotive, aircraft and machine tool powertrain industries. The database structure contains all of the measurement data, making it available for further processing and reporting. A host of very special functions improves the efficiency of measuring process. The QUINDOS Basic license includes all of the functions necessary to measure standard parts such as crankcases, gearboxes, etc. It goes without saying that all of the form and position evaluations, freely-programmable plot routines, generation of moving path information and more are all included in the basic license. In addition to the Basic license more than 50 options are available for handling special part geometries and other functional extensions. CAD options Gears Gear cutting tools Worm gears and worm w

QUINDOS Basic - Process Planning Using CAD

HEXAGON Metrology Software Process planning using CAD Intelligent methodology for more profitability The most noticeable new feature of QUINDOS is the CAD core. The part geometry can be represented and manipulated (zoom, rotate, pan) in 3D. This functionality is available not only for CAD models but also in the more traditional teach-in mode. Point patterns can be generated interactively and measured points can be represented with their corresponding deviations and calculated element. The QUINDOS basic program can be used to represent nominal and actual points on the calculated surface. Even without a CAD model, all of the measured elements can be represented spatially. The CAD-Basic option makes it possible to generate moving path information for geometrical elements. The SafetyBox takes care of collision-free travel between elements (with and without CAD model). Every geometric element is assigned to a group of surfaces which in turn can be used to make sele

QUINDOS Basic - Measurement Analysis

HEXAGON Metrology Software Measurement analysis  The right tools for every task From day one, QUINDOS was developed for use on precision measuring machines with scanning functionalities. The mathematical algorithms are implemented accordingly. There are various types of calculation methods which can be applied to turn measured points into elements (e.g. inscribed, exscribed, least squares etc.). Furthermore, individual element parameters can be fixed and the resulting element calculated accordingly. As well as the standard geometrical elements, ellipse, ellipsoid, parabola and paraboloide algorithms are also implemented. For form testing with either dedicated form testers or scanning CMMs, points can be filtered using either high or low pass filters or Fourier analysis. All of the information pertaining to the feature is stored in a transparent database system for further analysis. Logical decisions can be made which can control the further analysis of the meas
