DCC Retrofit

Retrofit your old CMM

Most CMMs manufactured in the 1980s and 1990s are well made, sturdy machines with good motor drive systems. We retrofit your CMM with QC-5300 DCC software and replace the controller, amplifiers, joystick box and computer. This restores your CMM to state-of-the-art equipment. It will increase productivity, extend the life of the CMM and increase the CMM's accuracy with volumetric error compensation.

Simplifying and enhancing the measuring process is what the "No Programmer Required" QC-5300 DCC is all about. Its unparalleled, easy to use functions reduce the learning curve. Watch precision, productivity, and ultimately your bottom line... soar! Measure Magic® Probe any 2D or 3D feature and the QC-5300 DCC knows, automatically, what type of feature you are measuring. Datum magic, an extension of our patented Measure Magic technology enable automatic part alignment to be performed by probing a sequence of datum features. Now you can inspect features as fast as you can think of them—and push the work, not the buttons. With our auto-repeat mode and a remote finish key, the operator can inspect an entire part without ever looking at or touching the computer. This is ideal for large CMMs, where the inspector isn't close to the computer... a real time saver, from the leader in innovative metrology solutions. Sensible Construction Do you want the line that intersects two planes? Or the circle that's created from the intersection of a plane and a cone? A distance between a 3D point and the center of a sphere? The QC-5300's intuitive user interface allows you to choose the construction and then select the features for use in the construction directly from the graphical part view. There is no need for multiple pages of different construction icons. Automatic Part Programming Measure your first part and the QC-5300 learns the datums, measuring sequence, tolerance, and reporting functions. The computer writes the program, you simply select the program form an icon on the toolbar. On screen part programming editing with point and click simplicity. Want to edit probe speed or probe path? Simply point and click. Easy Probe Selection The user can select from a variety of qualified probes and install th eones used most frequently. Just poibnt and click to select them. Graphical interface simplifies motorized probe head rotations and styli rack destinations, point and click. Multiple Options Part Views Multi-Plan Views: The QC-5300 DVCC offers true graphical part representation. Its Graphical Interface provides all the information you need in an intuitive format with four independent views: 3D modeling, XY, YZ, or ZX plan view. The tolerancing or construction features may be selected from any of the views.

Part View Controls Zoom in, zoom out, zoom to fit, zoom in on a selected area, pan and rotate functions, make the QC-5300 DCC the most complete CMM software available. Quick View Toolbar buttons allow the operator to view the part from any of a number of preselected orientations and elevations. 3D Feature Stamp The QC-5300 DCC not only reports a numerical indication of the shape of your feature, it will also graphically show you the location of the points used to construct the features and any other points. Full Geometric Tolerancing If a part or feature doesn't measure properly, you'll know immediately. Out-of-tolerance features are clearly displayed in red. Tolerancing options include: Location Bidirectionality Concentricity True Position (RFS, MMC, LMC) Form Straightness Roundness Flatness Cylindricity Orientation Perpendicularity Parallelism Runout Angle Radius/Diameter Height Length Width

Understandable Graphics
The QC-56300 DCC incorporates four graphical representations of the part: 3D, XY, YZ, ZX. Each view integrates full zooming and rotational functions and all four can be used interactively to select features for constructions, reporting, tolerancing, and color coded pass/fail indicators make it easy to determine how much of your part is within specifications.

Random Multiple Part Placement
Metronics^® WC-5300 DCC measuring software allows random placement of multiple parts of the same type. Take one point on each part and you have full automatic part-to-part inspection without expensive features.

DDE and CAD Interface
The Windows operating environment allows you to interface the QC-5300 DCC to other Windows programs such as Microsoft Excel or Windows based SPC packages. The QC-5300 DCC can also download to a CAD system through IGS or DXF file formats.

Automatic & Magnetic Planes
The QC-5300 DCC automatically recognizes and reports on which plane you have probed (XY, YZ, ZX). Using our unique Magnetic Planes function, any features that are probed above or below primary planes can be automatically "snapped" to the nearest primary planes making measurements more accurate and graphics more understandable.
