Delcam’s PowerInspect inspection software includes improved ease of use, support for multi-axis, on-machine verification and compatibility with the AIMS Metrology System used by aerospace companies such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin. The introduction of a color-coded scheme for the points to be measured—an enhancement known as the bouncing ball—is the main improvement to the system’s ease of use. It can be applied either when using teach-and-learn inspection of the first item in a production run or when programming a sequence for a number of parts offline.
