Hexagon Metrology enhances white light measurement with CoreView 6.0

Hexagon Metrology has announced the availability of CoreView 6.0 for the Cognitens WLS400 automated and manual white light measurement systems. The software includes an offline programming module for the Cognitens WLS400A robotic measuring system.

All CoreView modules now use the full memory and CPU resources by running on native 64-bit architecture. This supports larger CAD files, dense point cloud visualisation and accelerated result computation. Flush and gap capabilities support measurement of matching parts in their actual assembled position. This adds to previously available methods, says Hexagon, and delivers relevant information about the behaviour of matching parts in their real position. CoreView 6.0 can also indicate the position of studs widely used by the automotive industry. A 'Metrology Advisor' function supports the Cognitens WLS400 user with online guidance and helps to create a more efficient process for measuring points and features. Using the High Definition (HD) mode, the Cognitens WLS400A automated system now recognises character lines, also known as tornado lines or beauty lines, along the entire length of a car. This function can be added to existing measurement routines, for example, in automated Cognitens WLS400A closure cells. Improved automated measurement computation enables a higher system throughput by allowing for a new measurement cycle to begin in parallel with computing the measurement results of the previous run. This means that the Cognitens WLS400A cell can continue measuring with minimal interruptions. In addition, CoreView 6.0 offers improved reporting functions. Newly designed call-out annotations now include one-click positioning, alignment and distribution of call-outs across the area of interest for meaningful presentation of measurement results.
