ROMER Inc. Releases DOCS 2.3 Tube Inspection Software With Unique Features, Advanced
ROMER Inc., a Hexagon Metrology
company, today announced the release of DOCS 2.3, a new upgrade of its
state-of-the-art tube inspection software. Designed to revolutionize quality
control in the tubing industry, DOCS (Data Overlay Camera System) 2.3 has
numerous features not found in other software. Used with a ROMER portable CMM,
DOCS can inspect and measure round metallic and non-metallic wire, tubing, and
piping used in almost any industry -- automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding,
medical, machinery, appliance, and more. DOCS can also produce corrected bend
data for CNC tube benders.
Among the new features of DOCS 2.3 is Auto Single Measure Mode, which further
automates the already easy tube inspection process by significantly minimizing
operator input requirements. Also, support for multiple languages is now
included: English, Chinese (simplified), Czech, German, Spanish, Italian,
Japanese, Polish, and Turkish.
"We continue to develop DOCS as the premier tube inspection and bending
solution," said Doug Schueneman, Product Manager of Software Integration for
ROMER, Inc. "The new features in this release makes an already easy process even
easier and faster -- providing crucial tube inspection data in a matter of
seconds."
Seamless Integration of Contact/Non-Contact Probes, and DOCS Patented
Transprojection(tm)
A ROMER portable arm CMM with DOCS software, plus a non-contact tube probe
(sizes range from 6 mm to 150 mm), allows precise measurement of items as fine
as wire up to tubes that are six inches in diameter. Seamless integration with
contact (touch or touch trigger) probes is also standard, which enables
operators to measure areas inaccessible by non-contact probes. Based on the
length of the arm, touch probes can measure very large tubing and geometric
features such as brackets, tabs, holes, and slots. DOCS supports ROMER's
powerful switch on-the-fly capability between contact and non-contact probes
during a measurement routine.
When used with ROMER's INFINITE portable CMM, the DOCS software patented
Transprojection(tm) ability allows operators to overlay inspection results on a
live view of the part from the INFINITE arm's onboard digital camera for the
ultimate in process documentation. This data can easily be included in the DOCS
inspection report or used to make operator instructions.
DOCS Helps to Eliminate Waste in Tube Bending
As tube inspection goes hand in hand with bending, DOCS can send corrected bend
data directly to the CNC bender. This process eliminates costly transcription
errors, and enables correction of bend data based on inspection results of the
first tube bent. The second tube is usually in spec and ready to ship without
wasting hours adjusting the bender trying to make a good tube. The elimination
of waste and scrap, as well as increased shop productivity, is a key benefit of
a ROMER arm system with DOCS. A connection to one CNC tube bender machine is now
included FREE with DOCS 2.3 Additional connections may be purchased at an
additional charge.
