5 minutes to write a Romer CMM program with cad

Did anyone see that article in this month's Qulity Magazine about creating a Vision CMM program with cad in 5 minutes? I forget what software it was and any details but man did we get a kick out of that one... I'd go into more specifics but Mr. Henger put the magazine away before he went home (lucky dog he beat me out of here). HELLL, it takes me longer than 15 minutes sometimes just to import my cad model yet alone program with it. No wonder why my bosshole thinks I'm scrooging him half the time if he reads malarkey like that...

  • YES, This is complete BS.
    I really can't believe this.
    Verisurf is the program, I use it everyday.
    I think they s/b seeing this as a learning tool for future cmm operators you
    learn alot but you are limited by its lack of features and flexibility.
    I think it takes me about 5min just to verify the model.
    30 min to apply the tol, they call it MBD.
    yes it's easy when you only take surface pts, you don't have to worry about clearplane or having the ph10 rotated in the right direction. But when it comes to making a report or making it legible this thing sucks. It's just not as mature as a stationary CMM. the biggest drawback is being attached to the damm thing. An operator can be running 3+ CMM machines at the same time but only one romer.
