LK Metrology releases CAMIO 8.5 CMM software

LK Metrology’s 8.5 version of its CAMIO CMM software has a range of newly developed features to help meet the daily challenges faced by quality departments.

CAMIO 8.5 includes several programming updates, including the reorganisation of RPS alignments, and improvements in angle between tolerances so that users can easily toggle between acute, obtuse supplementary angles. A further programming update is more precise and pronounced warning messages for users when setting machine/program parameters outside of min/max limits.

The user interface has also been subjected to a review, with window docking significantly improved. In addition, CAD layers are now displayed in a separate window, which provides easier access, while a CAD orientation buttons allows users to maintain their current zoom level.

CAMIO 8.5 also features a number of laser and point cloud improvements, enhancements to ease of use, and better probe-head support. Regarding the latter, support is now available for the Renishaw PHS1 head system, along with the ACR2 auto-change rack. ACR2 is a modular extension arm change system for the PHS1 servo-positioning head that allows any number of racks to be positioned on a pillar anywhere within the machine volume. Support is also added for the Renishaw SP80 probe head.
