Applied Automation Technologies (AAT) and DMG MORI have set up a partnership for on-machine measuring software. The companies will offer this software technology as a solution within the DMG MORI Qualified Products (DMQP) program. Having the ability to perform CMM (coordinate measurement machine) measurement and metrology tasks is an important part of ‘smart machining’ manufacturing processes. CappsNC provides capabilities to quickly develop measurement programs offline and run these programs directly on CNC machine tools in a similar way to a CMM. Measurement results are used to adjust machining process parameters such as calculating precise work offsets, dynamic tool compensations and…
