Programming

Many inspectors don’t have the luxury of time to create CMM programs, many write programs so infrequently that they forget the required coding, or the inspectors that were trained have left the company. Our Accredited Application Engineers quickly and reliably create good quality programs as they have been using CMM software daily for decades. The programs are normally created offline and are proof run at your Premises, however we can proof run on our CMMs if preferred.

Validation

Ensure new or modified CMM Programs conform to the correct interpretation of Datums & Dimensioning. Your company may operate the a highly accurate CMM in terms of its specification however that is worth very little if the CMM Program is poorly written.

Introducing a level of checking, called Validation, is where Apex take the detailed drawing with a part that has been measured and compare data. By evaluating the data we can provide a critique to allow your Programming resource to improve and prove the program is fit for use.

CMM Training

Our Accredited Applications Engineers provide bespoke CMM training tailored to your requirements. Where practical we use your own parts for familiarisation and problem solving, however a range of structured training blocks is also available if preferred.

CMM training can be delivered at your premises or at our facility. If training takes place at our site, no other companies will be present. This ensures full focus on your requirements, allows open dialogue and maintains confidentiality agreements.

Our CMM training programmes cover CMM operation and/or CMM metrology software use, tailored to your specific machine and workflow. The majority of common CMM software is covered:

• Mitutoyo – MCosmos

• Hexagon – PCDMIS

• Renishaw – Modus

• Aberlink – V3,V4

• IMS – Virtual DMIS

• Penta DMIS

• PMT Inspect

• Verisurf

4P-CMMIT – Programming Standards & Training

This is the Apex developed strategy for standardising programs & validation. Structured levels to suit the customer we guide CMM Programmers how to write programs so that they are concise and can be read by other CMM Programmers.
