Renishaw's OMV part verification software now allows users of multi-axis CNC machine tools to take advantage of its simple point-and-click 3D inspection programming for touch probes. Renishaw OMV 1.3 also allows the import of predefined data points and gives enhanced ‘best-fit’ functions for conditions including ‘Max-Material’ and ‘Least-Material’.

A PC-based part verification package for CNC machine tools, Renishaw OMV give users powerful co-ordinate measuring machine (CMM) style 3D verification against a CAD model.

Multi-axis support
New for Renishaw OMV 1.3 is a multi-axis option that allows part verification programs to operate on a variety of machine tools with 3+2 axis configurations. Machine positions can be directly programmed, or the software can automatically identify the best machine orientation for a particular measurement.

Data import of predefined points
To aid best-fit operations and the measurement of complex parts, Renishaw OMV 1.3 has a new data import facility which allows a predefined series of points to be loaded into the software.

Powerful best-fit algorithms
Renishaw OMV features powerful best-fit algorithms which match groups of measured data to the CAD model, reducing deviations and errors by removing alignment and datum constraints. Version 1.3 meets a larger range of fitting conditions including ‘Max-Material’, ‘Least-Material’ and constrained movement.

Measurement for a wide range of platforms
Renishaw OMV allows the high accuracy measurement of features such as multi-point circles, cylinders, cones, spheres and planes.
