Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on programming a 3D measuring machine using the Metrosoft Quartis software. Understanding how to efficiently program and operate this software is essential for accurate measurements in various applications, including quality control in manufacturing.

Step 1: Setting Up the Software

• Install Metrosoft Quartis: Ensure you have the latest version of the software installed on your computer.
• Open the Application: Launch Metrosoft Quartis and familiarize yourself with the interface.
• Create a New Project:
  • Navigate to the “File” menu.
  • Select “New Project” to start programming your measuring machine.

Step 2: Importing CAD Models

• Import a CAD File:
  • Go to the “File” menu again.
  • Choose “Import” and select your CAD model file (e.g., .dxf or .dwg format).
• Positioning the Model: Use the tools within the software to correctly position the model in the workspace for accurate measurements.

Step 3: Defining Measurement Points

• Select Measurement Points:
  • Identify key points on the CAD model that require measurements.
  • Use the “Point” tool to click and define these locations.
• Label Each Point: Clearly label each point for easy reference during measurement.

Step 4: Programming the Measurement Sequence

• Create a Measurement Program:
  • Access the “Program” tab.
  • Use the scripting or programming interface to define the sequence of measurements.
• Example Code Snippet:

  // Sample code for measurement points
  MeasurePoint(point1);
  MeasurePoint(point2);
  

• Incorporate Conditions: If necessary, add conditional statements based on measurement results to ensure quality control.

Step 5: Running the Program

• Check Settings: Before running, ensure all settings such as measurement speed and probe type are configured correctly.
• Execute the Program:
  • Click on the “Run” button to start the measurement process.
  • Monitor the machine's operation for any issues.

Step 6: Analyzing Measurement Data

• View Results: After completion, navigate to the results section to view the measurement data.
• Export Data: If needed, export the data for further analysis or reporting.
  • Go to “File” > “Export” to save the results in your desired format.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we covered the essential steps for programming a 3D measuring machine using Metrosoft Quartis, including setting up the software, importing CAD models, defining measurement points, programming the measurement sequence, executing the program, and analyzing the results. With these skills, you can ensure accurate and efficient measurements for quality control in your projects.
