Hexagon releases CoreView V5.5 for Cognitens white light systems

Hexagon Metrology's CoreView 5.5 software for the Cognitens WLS400 automated and manual white light measurement systems offers improved measuring of a workpiece's geometric characteristics as well as 2D cross section analysis tools. It also provides support for Windows 7.

Other enhancements in version 5.5 include measurement and GD&T inspection of planar geometries. This broadens the Cognitens WLS400 system's application support and 3D visualisation tools which allow users to measure sheet metal features faster and easier than before. Version 5.5 supports a new set of sensor lenses with 360 by 360 mm field of view used for measuring smaller parts and in reverse engineering. The CAD import engine by Hexagon Metrology offers faster and more robust loading of 3D files. Accelerated data acquisition and parallel processing shorten the time required to generate a full inspection report. CoreView 5.5 also offers tools for accelerating part programming and increasing system throughput by cutting the overall cycle time in Cognitens WLS400A robotic applications. In addition, the Cognitens WLS400 sensor and software is now certified according to the VDI/VDE 2634 Part 2 standard for optical measurement systems.
