Problems Addressed by CheckMate Programming

 "a revolution in CMM programming"

  1. Inspection lead time is causing delays
  2. Measurement seems like the slowest part of the process
  3. We have to develop the same inspection path twice, once for the tooling & again for the part
  4. CMM programs aren't ready when tooling arrives
  5. We have so many parts to program, how are we ever going to get them done on time?
  6. Writing CMM programs is a bottleneck in our operation
  7. Our CMM is at or near capacity and we are considering buying another one
  8. We can't read the 3D CAD data our customers are sending us for CMM checking
  9. We need to confirm the orientation of our parts in space matches the 3D CAD model
  10. We have several makes of CMM but we can't quickly assign any part to any machine
  11. It takes too much time to change an inspection program to run on a different CMM
  12. If an inspection program is written on the wrong side of material, we have to start all over
  13. If our customer wants an inspection reported on the other side of material, we have to start all over
  14. If our customer wants an inspection reported in tool or part coordinates, we have to start all over
  15. Our parts are too large to be learn mode programmed
  16. Our parts are too small to be learn mode programmed
  17. We can't accurately measure areas of high curvature when they are out of position
  18. We can't accurately measure holes and slots on sculptured surfaces
  19. We can't accurately measure trim/hem/rope edges
  20. We can't accurately measure thin walled material
  21. It is taking too long to 'trig' approach vectors from a mylar or blueprint
  22. Our measuring process lacks the consistency required by ISO/QS9000
  23. We need to convert CMM programs from one language to another
