Yes, TouchDMIS supports 3-axis and advanced 5-axis probe systems. The software is developed to handle motorized probe heads, including those that move in two rotary axes, such as the Renishaw PH20 and REVO. This enables faster measurement cycles by reducing the need for CMM structural movement, maintaining high accuracy standards.

TouchDMIS is designed as a universal CMM software solution that can work with machines of various manufacturers and different types (Bridge, gantry, horizontal arm). The integration is supported by communication protocols like I++, allowing users to upgrade their inspection capabilities without requiring expensive hardware replacements. This cross-brand compatibility helps reduce training costs and standardize operations across mixed CMM environments.

TouchDMIS offers full CAD integration capabilities, supporting standard files including STEP, IGES, CATIA, SolidWorks, and other major CAD formats. Users can import 3D models, automatically extract nominal geometries, and create measurement programs directly from the CAD surface. The software also supports PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) extraction, enabling automatic recognition of GD&T callouts and tolerance from the CAD model.

TouchDMIS provides comprehensive support for both ASME Y14.5 and ISO GPS. The software includes certified algorithms for evaluating position, profile, runout, and other geometric tolerances according to current industry standards. This ensures inspection results are compliant with international quality requirements and can be trusted for critical dimensional analysis.

TouchDMIS is engineered to efficiently process large point cloud datasets generated by high-density measurement systems. The software includes advanced algorithms for surface analysis, color mapping, and deviation analysis. User can perform comprehensive surface inspections, including flush and gap analysis, thickness evaluation, and free-form surface verification with high precision.

Yes, TouchDMIS supports extensive offline programming, allowing users to create and verify measurement programs without occupying the physical CMM. The software includes virtual simulation capabilities that enable path verification, collision detection, and cycle time estimation before executing programs on the actual machine. This maximizes CMM productivity by reducing setup time and programming errors.

TouchDMIS is designed with Smart manufacturing connectivity in mind, supporting integration with various quality management systems, ERP platforms, and Industry 4.0 solutions like Metrology Gate. The software can export data in multiple formats, including PDF, CSV, and XML, enabling seamless data flow throughout the manufacturing process and supporting statistical process control (SPC) applications.

TouchDMIS features an intuitive user interface designed to accommodate users with varying metrology skills and knowledge levels. The software provides guided workflows for novice users while offering advanced capabilities for experienced operators. Context-sensitive help, DMIS editor or programming block, and customizable interfaces ensure users can work efficiently regardless of their experience level.

TouchDMIS enhances measurement efficiency through several key features: automated path planning reduces cycle times, intelligent probe motion minimizes air moves, and advanced scanning capabilities enable high-speed data collection. The software’s optimization algorithms can reduce measurement time by up to 30% compared to conventional programming methods while maintaining accuracy standards.

TouchDMIS includes specialized modules and capabilities for complex measurement applications. The software can handle advanced geometries, including a gear inspection module, turbine blades, and other specialized components. These applications benefit from the software’s advanced mathematical algorithms and flexible measurement strategies that accommodate complex part geometries and tight tolerances.
