ON SCREEN JOG BOX TO ELIMINATE THE NEED OF PICKING UP THE CONTROLLER
I would like to have the control to have the same functions of the jog box on my computer screen so that if I get a crash and I'm nowhere near the CMM I can remote onto the computer move the probe away from the crash, edit my program and continue it. This would also be great for those of us that have large CMM's so that we don't need to go to the opposite end of the machine to grab the jog box just to move a probe a few thousandths away from the part.
Add RFID or similar to probe and stylus module
As written in the title my proposal is to add a RFID or similar to the probe (e.g. HP-S-X1C,...) and to the stylus module.
The goal is to eliminate crashes which happen if the operator selects a wrong currently loaded probe.
I think the added cost of the RFID is way smaller than the cost of crashes.
Jog Box
CMMs need the option to have wireless jog boxes. I trip over the cord all the time and wheel over it with my chair.
Probe Shank alarm
For metal parts while using metal Probe shanks.
Create an alarm that tells the programmer and/or operator that the probe has shanked out.
A simple conductivity sensor would make this work on existing CMMs and new CMMs.
BUILT IN PROFILOMETER, VIA SPECIAL TIP TO READ SURFACE ROUGHNESS. CMM IS VERY SENSITIVE TO DEVIATIONS I THINK IT CAN MEASURE SURFACE ROUGHNESS.
laser scanning from Nikon, LC15Dx
it would to run this laser scanner on PC-DMIS. it would be great that PC-DMIS can support wider range of metrology equipments.
Add lights to the probe head.
JOG A-XIS & B-AXIS ON CONTROLLER
This function would be great to have the ability to find the perfect angle for difficult and complex orientations. being able to control the A-Axis & B-Axis with the jog box would eliminate the need to always rely on the Auto Wrist function or to select from the grid until you finally choose the correct angle.
5 AXIS CMM HEAD
it seems that many CMM software supporting 5 AXIS CMM HEAD for example PH20 from Renishaw. it would be nice that PH20 can run on PC-DMIS.
