The VAST Navigator option of Calypso is an enhancement of the known scanning method for cylindrical parts. Navigator reduces measuring time without affecting accuracy. When measuring with the “normal” time the measuring certainty can be increased.
VAST Navigator makes recording of measured values when scanning cylindrical features (bores and shafts) much faster and more convenient. Stylus movements and probing methods are faster and more harmonious. At the same time, the interplay between sensors, control technology, processes, and software insures maximum accuracy.
The VAST Performance option of CALYPSO makes it possible to use the
FlyScan function and the quick stylus system change.
– FlyScan allows you to measure scanning paths which are interrupted by grooves in one pass without lifting off the stylus.
– For quick stylus system change, CALYPSO uses the maximum travel speed when changing the stylus system. This shortens the measuring time, especially for measurement plans with frequent stylus systemchanges.
NOTE
You can only us the VAST Performance option if the Navigator and
VAST-PERFORMANCE licenses have been installed and enabled on your system.
VAST Probing is becoming a part of the standard software set for Duramax and O-Inspect machines starting 5/24/2022.
It shortens measuring time by up to 30%. Shorter measuring time reduces cost.
