What is Quindos? Like it?

Wingman
I am looking at a company that has this software along with Calypso. I want to get a general feel for it by the users. Any info will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Parents
  • Our company is considering a refurb B&S bridge CMM and later on adding a gear inspection capability to it. We will inspect purchased AGMA 10 quality gearing in spiral bevel and helical. We have a gearing design guy on site but nobody to my knowledge with gear inspection or gear cutting experience anymore. Our main CMM operator has about 1 year experience with Faro arms and has no experience with bridge CMMs, PC-DMIS, or gearing inspection. I'm guessing our CMM activity with be gearing about 20% of the time.

    1) Given a few months to work with PC-DMIS every day for regular programming, would our user be ready to use PC-DMIS Gear or Quindos?

    2) I'm told that Quindos is better than PC-DMIS Gear for profile and lead inspection but both can do it. Is it worth buying Quindos if this is the only advantage?

    Dave,
    My Quindos experience is limited, but I have been using PCDMIS for three years
    and MeasureMax about eight, with two year's worth of Romer thrown in for
    fun, so take this info with a grain of salt:

    1) I've never used PCDMIS Gear, but I can tell you there are ZERO similarities
    between Quindos and PCDMIS. Nothing is the same. PCDMIS experience will
    help very little in using Quindos.

    2) That may partially depend on the CMM and what controllers it uses -
    Don't know if the B&S would be a good candidate for Quindos or not. it also
    depends on which software salesman you talk to - Rolling eyes
