PC-DMIS Pro Sophisticated Measurement without CAD

PC-DMIS Pro is advanced CMM software without the CAD.  Many manufacturers can’t or don’t need to use CAD files in inspecting their parts.  However, they do need a full-featured metrology software system.  For them, PC-DMIS Pro is the answer.  With it, they are able to take advantage of PC-DMIS’s most advanced measurement, analytical and reporting capabilities without needing to purchase a set of CAD capabilities of no use to them.

PC-DMIS Pro simplifies setup and alignment.  Getting inspection jobs up and running quickly is key to the success of most quality departments.  Time spent programming CMM machines is time lost.  PC-DMIS Pro features a set of powerful “Quick Start” routines that make fast work of routine operations.  The software makes things like qualifying probes and aligning parts easy.   Probe and Go™ technology makes creating programs on-line as simple as taking points and letting PC-DMIS figure out what is being measured. With tools like these, manufacturers use their CMMs more in measuring parts, not in preparing to measure them.

PC-DMIS Pro is not a “stripped down” version of PC-DMIS.  The software is easy to use, but that doesn’t mean it can’t tackle tough jobs.  PC-DMIS Pro is the full featured PC-DMIS product in every way, with the exception of CAD import.  It features a robust, COM-based architecture, an intuitive and configurable Graphical User Interface (GUI), a complete set of powerful measurement routines, and a full set of reporting functions.  Plus, it has full PTB and NIST certification. It does what needs to be done.

PC-DMIS Pro uses powerful Wizards to simply tough jobs.  Figuring out the best way to measure a part or to dimension features can be hard work.  The Wilcox Associates applications experts know this and have put together a set of pre-defined routines that make some of the most complex measurement jobs easy.  PC-DMIS Pro includes these routines as a suite of Wizards.  With these, users can work they way through some of the thorniest metrology problems with a few mouse clicks.

PC-DMIS Pro lets users upgrade their software when their needs change.  When needs change and customers have to use CAD in their inspection processes, the upgrade is a simple matter.  PC-DMIS Pro is CAD ready, and the only change needed is a simple modification to the portlock program.  With that, the software is ready to go.  Best of all, all existing part programs are fully compatible with the new software.
