Problems Addressed by
CheckMate SoftFit Analysis
"a revolution in the utilization of complex
measurement information"
At the heart of CheckMate Analysis is the SoftFit Best 3D
Fitting engine. SoftFit helps to quickly solve shape related prototyping and manufacturing
process problems, some of which are summarized below:
- Its taking too long to get first article buy off
- We think there is something wrong with the datums but we really
don't know
- When we make an alignment error, we waste CMM time re-measuring
- We spent a lot of time shimming and re-measuring to get better
results
- If we knew how to do it we could just re-label the tooling balls
instead of re-machining the tool
- We think we are rejecting good parts because of bad datums but we
have no way of quickly verifying this
- We have no fast way to assess whether there is sufficient material
for the machining process to produce a good part
- We have no information to help us adjust the machining origin to
guarantee a good part
- It is taking days to position the locating pins to balance core and
cavity
- We could lower our reject rates if we could move errors to
re-workable areas of the part
- The amount of welding required to re-work tooling is unacceptable
- We could save re-work if we could localize problems into a small
area of the part
- Too much guess work in our prototyping process
- Too much hand work in our prototyping process
- Our reject rate is too high
