Import Measurement Results

As part of the On Machine Inspection procedure process, import the measurement results file from the CNC controller back to Cimatron.

A typical On Machine Inspection procedure scenario involves the following:

  • The On Machine Inspection procedure creates measurement motions in Cimatron that are posted to the CNC machine.

  • The measurements are executed on the machine.

  • The measurements results are imported from the CNC controller back to Cimatron and associated with the On Machine Inspection procedure.

  • An inspection report of the measurement results is created.

Inspection Report

As part of the On Machine Inspection procedure process after the measurement results have been imported, create an inspection report. The report may be produced in Excel and 3D PDF formats (both formats can be created simultaneously).

A typical On Machine Inspection procedure scenario involves the following:

  • The On Machine Inspection procedure creates measurement motions in Cimatron that are posted to the CNC machine.

  • The measurements are executed on the machine.

  • The measurements results are imported from the CNC controller back to Cimatron and associated with the On Machine Inspection procedure.

  • An inspection report of the measurement results is created.

Save & Calculate

Execute, save and close the procedure. Cutter motions will be calculated.
