Coordinate Measuring Machines

Data Processing System for Manual/CNC CMM

MCOSMOS

Catalog No. E16008(7)From coordinate measurement,
linkage to CAD data, through to smart factory –MCOSMOS supports your entire journey.

New User Interface

Comprehensive Software Line-up

With simple, clear icons and 3D graphic displays, the system has been
updated for greater usability.

A wide range of optional software applications are available to meetvarious customer needs, including measurement applications such as“SCANPAK” for evaluating contour data, “GEARPAK Express” for measuring
gears, and “MAFIS Express” for evaluating blade airfoil shapes, as well asother applications for enabling smart factory, etc.

Supporting Manual and CNC Measurement
Both Manual CMM and CNC CMM use the same basic software. This assists
the software in being easy to use even when switching between Manual toCNC, or while using both.

Linkage to CAD Data
Functions using CAD are employed to enhance measurement efficiency andquality. Proposals are available for software suited to customer needs, suchas jig setting (Fixture Builder), online/offline teaching in CAD (CAT1000P),
comparison with nominal value data (CAT1000S), and autogeneration ofmeasurement programs (MiCAT Planner).

prevent defective parts by collecting and analyzing measurement data in realtime. The status monitor (SMS: Smart Measuring System), which indicates theoperational status of the measuring machine; and the condition monitor, whichindicates the physical condition of the machine itself, help maintain measurement
accuracy, increase productivity, and improve maintenance management.

GEOPAK
This universal measurement software
conducts 3D measurement. It covers
all the functions needed for universal
measurement, such as measurement,
evaluation, reporting, measurement
program generation, and so on.

Status Monitor
Can remotely monitor measuring machines

CAT1000P
This online/offline teaching software uses
CAD data to create measurement programs.
Because programming is possible even without
an actual measurement target, measurement
programs can be created before the target iscomplete, helping reduce overall lead time.

CAT1000S
3D-freeform-surface software allows
tolerance comparisons between measured
points and the corresponding points on aCAD model.

Intuitive user interface
The user interface facilitates parts management with easy-to-identify
illustrations and quick access to ribbon menu items, providing you with
Windows-like usability for measurement.

Graphical display
Measured components are displayed with 3D graphics. In GD&T
evaluation, the trend of deviations of the components is simply visualized
in the form of a color distribution.

See video here▶

Various report formats
GEOPAK includes a range of report templates as standard. There is also
support for the display of GD&T icons and graphic display of deviations.
In addition, GEOPAK supports inspection reports conforming to theaerospace industryʼs quality management standard AS 9102 (SJAC9102).

CAT1000P/CAT1000S

CAT1000P/CAT1000S
Creating a measurement program using
3D CAD (CAT1000P)
The software imports 3D CAD to create a GEOPAK measurement
program. 3D CAD are used for advanced interference checks, automaticchange of probe orientation, and simulation. You can use CAT1000P tocreate a highly efficient measurement program in a shorter time thanbefore.

See video here▶

3D error verification (CAT1000S)
The software loads a 3D CAD. The measured points through 3D
nominal scanning , 4 axis nominal scanning and autonomous
profiling measurement are compared with nominal data for tolerancecomparisons.

FixtureBuilder
The function semi-automatically creates a clamping jig* structure fromthe CAD data of a workpiece. You can output a report that contains thetypes of necessary parts and a graphic image of the clamping position,
which is very useful for sharing jig information. Model data including
jig information helps to ensure a more effective interference check andsimulation.
The function is included in both CAT1000P andCAT1000S as standard.
* Only Mitutoyoʼs Eco-fix clamping tools are supported.

Nominal scanning
Even if there are significant errors between the nominal values and theactual workpiece shape, the active main unit control can perform
high-speed and highly accurate scanning measurement on a 3D shape.

See video here▶

Autonomous profiling measurement
Start point

End point

Even without the nominal values, you can obtain 2D contour data by
simply inputting only essential information such as a start point, end
point, and scanning direction.

See video here▶

2D error verification
The function compares two pieces of contour data and calculates errors
between them. You can apply different tolerance width requirements toeach contour section.

Gear measurement evaluation software

Automatic measurement program generation software for CMMs

For more effective and reliable gear measurement

GEARPAK Express

MiCAT Planner

Intuitive operation• A 3D model created from the provided gear specifications enables you to visually and easily
check whether measurement will be performed as intended.
• Automatic measurement program creation and on-screen measurement guidance help
quick and easy setting of the coordinate system.

Software for automatically creating an MCOSMOS measurement program
Creating a measurement program in a much
shorter timeHigh-speed scanning measurement

The software can automatically create an optimum measurement programusing the PMI (tolerance information) of a 3D CAD model. Even without
existing PMI, you can add new PMI in MiCAT Planner.

• “4-Axis nominal scanning”*1 can make scanning even faster. The measurement time can be
reduced up to 50%*2 compared with the conventional method.
*1 A rotary table (optional) is necessary.
*2 The value depends on the gear size and required accuracy.

Information from various measuring instruments, not just Coordinate Measuring Machines, can be
managed.
MeasurLink® allows statistical processing of measurement data. Also,
real-time display of control charts can promptly recognize fault conditions
caused by cutting tool abrasion or damage. This allows you to implement
effective countermeasures (such as change of cutting tool or machining
conditions). Moreover, with this software as a terminal, it ispossible to build a central control system by connecting to ahigher-level network environment.
