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 selections for further analysis (e.g. connections). IGES, STEP, Catia V5, Unigraphics NX and Pro-E model formats are currently supported. A wizard analyses the model, removing invisible and redundant surfaces, unifying the surface directions and identifying both simple and complex features (feature recognition).

The CAD-Surfaces option can be used to generate points with the correct normals on curves and surfaces using grids or section lines (utilizing planes, cylinders, edge offsets etc.).

Measured points can also be represented at any time, independent of the program currently running. Every coordinate system in the program can be selected and displayed.

Inspection planning, utilising the I++ Simulator, is an ideal way to check the machine movement and avoid collisions.

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 ...

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...
