Geometric Measurement: Metrolog II provides an interactive, intuitive graphic interface to measure or construct features. Measuring results and probe movements are displayed on screen in real-time. Features can be clicked directly on the screen in order to construct other entities. A detailed graphical display of geometrical features based on probe points can be made. Optional software levels utilize CAD files such as: IGES, CATIA ,VDA, UNISURF, SET, etc., for machine programming.
Surface Measuring: Applies to the analysis of a free-form part. Here various types of CAD files are utilized. Surfaces, curves, Bezier or rational entities and other imported entities can be displayed on screen. Sections of the CAD file or unknown sections can be measured by scanning in manual or automatic mode.
Alignments: Metrolog II allows several kinds of alignments: model alignments, geometrical alignments, alignments using (6) surface points or alignment on features. Probes are automatically calibrated when using an indexable head.
Programming: Programming with Metrolog II permits teach programming plus graphical off-line programming. Its immense flexibility, permits ready modification of programs, enabling delete, copy, move or paste. At any time you can intervene directly to change its composition: x, y, z position, approach vector, projection surface for a point, etc. Via points can directly be modified on the graphical view by click and drag. The DMIS engine runs the native code avoiding post-processing errors. Metrolog II lets you insert text messages, sound messages, photos or graphics, all intended to assist the operator.
Statistics: Metrolog II allows for calculation and edition of statistical results (average, standard deviation, capabilities, etc.)
Control Reports: User design of graphical and text reports with stickers can be created according to the information you need to see.
Machine Interface: Metrolog II runs both manual and CNC machines using our controls or those of other manufacturers.
Metrolog II calculates "real deviation" automatically, i.e. the distance between the measured point and the projected point. It takes into account the actual offset, material thickness and shrink factor. While it selects the best projection surface automatically, it also lets the operator choose from other possible surfaces.

Metrolog II software is supplied in several levels. Each level provides another step-up in functionality. All levels are embedded in the software and can be "turned on" as your needs may demand.
