 EASING THE WORKLOAD

With its familiar Windows® graphical user

interface, CAMIO makes even the most
complex inspection task look simple.
Innovative workflows assist the user at
every stage, from data acquisition to
reporting, streamlining the inspection
process for maximum efficiency.

8
 WITH A CLICK OF THE MOUSE

1 Select probe EASE

The graphical probe designer provides an easy way to configure your sensor
portfolio, whether it’s a touch probe, scanning probe or laser scanner, the
process is always the same.

2 Create inspection program SPEED

Creating an inspection program is as quick as measuring the initial sample.
Whether with or without a CAD model, the process is just the same. CAMIO’s
teach-and-learn functionality automatically creates the inspection program at
each stage of the process.

3 Prove out TRUST

With a CAD model, inspection programs can be created and fully proven
offline. Any potential collisions are highlighted and corrected offline, saving
valuable CMM down-time when proving out new inspection programs.

4 Report SHARE
Common file formats and direct links to 3rd party software packages provide
efficient distribution and sharing of your inspection data with other departments,
customers and suppliers.

9
 INTELLIGENT PROGRAMMING

CAMIO provides a rich programming environment, with

intuitive software tools and drag-and-drop functionality
for a broad range of metrology applications.

Novice users find the step-through approach to CMM

programming particularly easy to master and quickly
migrate to the more advanced features of the software.
More experienced users will appreciate in the high-level
functionality which includes conditional program execution,
mathematical functions and configurable Windows® style
dialog boxes for operator input.

10
FOCUSING ON PRODUCTIVITY

CAD-based feature inspection

The CAMIO program editor provides an easy to follow
iconized view of the inspection program. Editing the program
is as simple as double clicking or using drag and drop to re-
order the inspection sequence.

Simply clicking on the CAD model initiates a measurement

sequence. CAMIO automatically applies the optimum
measurement strategy based on the feature and sensor
selected. At every stage the user has full control to change CAMIO program editor. Multiple circles on a single plane are selected with
any aspect of the inspection. one click.

Offline collision detection

Any potential collisions are highlighted and can be
corrected before the first part is measured, saving valuable
CMM down-time when proving out new inspection
programs.

Inspection programs can be created and fully proven offline.

Productive scanning
Scanning geometric features and complex surfaces is simple
using CAMIO. Scan paths that follow the surface shape are
created automatically, while simulated point cloud data
enables checking part coverage. Scan paths can be fine-tuned
interactively to include areas that were missed.

Full graphical representation of the planned scanning path.

 BETTER INSIGHTS

Dependable results when you need

them most
CAMIO conforms to the latest international standards
for CMM data analysis and tolerancing, ensuring the
integrity of your data at every stage of the inspection
process. A suite of easy-to-use tools and templates
provides endless reporting possibilities for a broad
range of applications, with real-time reporting for
instant results. An industry-standard database is
used to archive all data, with open access for offline
analysis and trouble shooting. Common file formats
and direct links to 3rd party software packages
provide efficient distribution and sharing of data
across platforms.

 INTEROPERABILITY

CAD model import/export

CAMIO’s industry standard bi-directional CAD interface
supports popular native and neutral CAD file formats.
CAD models can be used to aid rapid programming and
inspection, and to improve the appearance and readability of
graphical inspection reports.
Measurement data can also be output using the supported
CAD file formats to 3rd party software packages for reverse
engineering applications.

Full compliance to DMIS standard

CAMIO’s strict adherence to the industry standard for CMM inspection programs, Dimensional
Measuring Interface Standard (DMIS), offers users significant benefits while ensuring the longevity of
their investment in CMM software and inspections programs.
DMIS inspection programs are not bound to any particular CMM software version. This gives the
freedom to use existing inspection programs from one software package with another, and to replace or
upgrade their CMM software package without the need to modify or re-write existing programs. This is
a major advantage to manufacturers with multiple CMMs spread across different sites. When managing
inspection programs from a central resource, programs can be fully proven prior to deployment, saving
valuable CMM down-time during program prove out.
