Product Focus / Inspection Software Complements Portable Measurement Applications Device Adjusts CMM Adapter Plate to Any Angle The Cube Squared Plus from Q-Mark is designed so that CMM users can quickly position adapter plates at virtually any angle. The device's predecessor, the Cube Squared, adjusted the adapter plate's cube to 90 degrees relative to the CMM's X and Y axes. The Cube Squared Plus uses an engraved protractor and a series of ball detents for unlimited axial rotation of the cube to any angle. The handheld device requires no additional tools. The user simply loosens the cube on the adapter plate, sets it to the desired angle and retightens it. The process takes one minute or less to complete, the company says.

It is now available with and said to be particularly well-suited to the company's Romer measuring arms. Using high-resolution multi-touch display technology on a tablet PC, users can physically interact with the software's guided measurement sequences and report templates. One-time dimensions are executed through intuitive automated measurement sequences, while more complex measurement plans are created by simply following guided sequences and measuring features directly on the part. PC-DMIS Touch organizes measurement plan features intuitively using the "Face" concept for the traditional work plane. The user is guided through measurement processes using a full set of inspection tools such as simple feature measurement, construction of features or feature sets, 2D and 3D dimensional reporting, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing configuration, and more. Each of these tasks follows a consistent, intuitive sequence that the company says can be quickly learned with minimal training.
