Master3DGage™

Axsys work closely with our customers to define needs, identify solutions, implement technology and maintain systems that automate manufacturing. Our open system strategy maximizes CAD and metrology interoperability empowering our experts to help customers choose the best technology for their application and budget. Verisurf hardware is configured with the right functionality for your application and budget.

We invite you to review our products and contact us to see a Verisurf 3D measurement system first hand or to help configure and quote the right system for your application and budget.  With Master3DGage™ you can precisely pinpoint and resolve quality issues in real time, reduce scrap, improve efficiency and boost the productivity of every machine. Simplicity and ease of use are designed right in, so that even those with little or no metrology experience can get up to speed quickly. Controls and interface are easy and straightforward, so users spend less time scrolling through screens and more time making quality parts.

Master3DGage™ is a six-axis articulated arm CMM with absolute encoders and unique counterweight design making it the most balanced and accurate available. With a 1.2m hemispherical measuring volume and quick-mount base the Master3DGage is ideal for fast in-process measurement and inspections anywhere on the shop floor. Lightweight and compact place your Master3DGage™ right on your CNC machine to verify parts quickly, without repositioning.

CMM Master

Automated, affordable and calibrated for high production shop floor inspection.  CMM Master™, based on the Renishaw Equator™ platform, increases shop floor productivity, reduces scrap and replaces multiple single-use fixture gages at a fraction of the cost of traditional CMM systems. Portability, compact footprint, single phase power and no compressed air requirement makes this system ideal for flexible shop floor inspection and automated production cells.

Verisurf increases the accuracy of the Renishaw Equator™ with Cubic Volumetric Mapping. The unique software technology utilizes a 24 parameter calculation to volumetrically error map the 3D measurement volume and creates a compensation table with tri-cubic interpolation that makes the Verisurf error-corrected Equator significantly more accurate. Every CMM Master comes with calibration certificate and because the accuracy is improved through software, all Equator warranties remain intact.  

CMM Master™ can be used as a software-driven gaging comparator by measuring a ‘known to be good master reference part’ then comparing subsequent production parts to the master. This further reduces costs and increases inspection flexibility by replacing hundreds of single use hard gages.

Tool Building

Verisurf is the global leader in tool building software.

Tool Inspection

Conduct periodic inspection of your tooling without error and at the same time, with greater efficiency and process control.

Common Platform

For product data management by interfacing with all types of CAD models and measuring devices in real-time.

Applications

Tool Building

Verisurf is the global leader in tool building software. Our state-of-the-art system complete with the Virtual Gage literally guides you through the tool building process in real-time using simple to understand graphic feedback. Built on a robust CAD/CAM engine, manufacturers can read CAD files on multiple levels for large assemblies, turning on and off details at will. With Verisurf, you seamlessly reduce the tool building process from months to mere weeks.

Periodic Tool Inspection

Conduct periodic inspection of your tooling without error and at the same time, with greater efficiency and process control. As more and more companies are required to regularly inspect numerous tools to meet government and independent audit requirements, most find that automating the process creates efficiencies without sacrificing accuracy. Verisurf fulfills these demanding requirements by automatically checking key points while directing the operator through a controlled, repeatable process.

Quality Assurance

Manufacturing operations must verify that processes and machined parts meet specifications and quality standards. Fulfilling these needs with Model-based Definition (MBD), Verisurf’s unparalleled software ensures Quality Assurance during product development and Quality Control of the final manufactured part. Verisurf also provides a full spectrum of documentation and reporting capabilities for enhanced efficiency throughout the entire product lifecycle. With Verisurf, you eliminate the backup in Quality Control and complete inspections in minutes, instead of hours or even days.

Reverse Engineering

Verisurf Reverse is an advanced, powerful software tool used for processing scan data to produce usable 3D manufacturing models. Bringing state-of-the-art technology to the engineering process, Reverse allows users to precisely measure a physical part or artifact to produce a digital 3D model. Developed on a robust CAD/CAM platform, the premier solution offers advanced point cloud and meshing tools for translating the measured part to CAD geometry.

Automated Inspection

To reduce costs and time required for inspection and enhance process control, Verisurf allows the implementation of automated inspection routines. Users simply create a model-based inspection plan that subsequently prompts inspectors or even non-QA personnel through the entire process. This advanced capability means quality control engineers can develop the foundation plan for entry-level inspectors to run at anytime, leading them through the process step by step. Once inspection is complete, an easy to read report is generated. With Verisurf, manufacturers resourcefully increase productivity while minimizing personnel and training requirements.

Laser Projection

Verisurf Laser Projection offers the fastest and easiest means for creating laser projection programs. It even allows live programming on the projectors, making setup and design changes significantly more efficient. After loading the nominal CAD model from any CAD design program, manufacturers can easily select geometry to quickly create paths for Laser Projectors. With Verisurf Laser Projection, you have an edge on all of the other solutions used in the industry today.
