Garr Inspect: Measuring Complex Surfaces

Overview of Garr Inspect Functionality

• Garr Inspect allows for the measurement of complex surfaces using various inspection devices, enabling on-the-fly inspections.

• Manual inspection devices can measure complex surfaces by taking random points during the inspection process.

Inspection Process and Results

• After acquiring points, results are displayed immediately with color-coded deviation indicators:

• Green indicates points within tolerance,

• Red denotes points above tolerance,

• Blue signifies points below tolerance.

CNC Controlled Inspection Devices

• For CNC controlled devices, users can create paths to measure form either manually or through an automated raster strategy.

• It is recommended to simulate these paths before actual machine inspections to identify potential issues like collisions.

Edge Measurement Techniques

• The CNC edge group facilitates measuring edge extents on sheet metal or composite parts similarly to surface inspection points.

• Interactive feedback in CAD view helps indicate where additional edge inspection points can be added.
