Software version 5 was developed in close cooperation with our
established customer base and is available in English and German.
We modernized the interface, streamlined the process and added new
features while making better use of the full power of the available
PC hardware. The new inspection functions, the macro functions and
the batch job allow easy automation and a very efficient, user-friendly
and customized work with our measuring systems.
Now all users can profit from this developments, which perfectly
meet the requirements on high-end optical measuring solutions.
Version 5 allows efficient digitizing with high accuracy.
Based on stereo viewing and the reference point method, the ATOS
scanner is able to validate the internal calibration and the data
quality in each view. Therefore, the resulting data is accurate
and reliable.
Using the certified calibration tools provided by GOM, the customers
may set and calibrate the ATOS Standard scanners from a measuring
area of 350x280 mm down to 135x108 mm (in one view) and the
ATOS Standard SO scanner from 200x160 down to 35x28 mm (in one view).
Big objects can be accurately digitized using the combined ATOS
and TRITOP photogrammetry technology, developed and offered by one
supplier.

 |
| Sections |
|
- Individual or multiple sections can easily be defined
in multiple ways to support traditional surfacing or quality
control applications
- Editing functions to further improve the section quality
- Import and export of the section data to easily cooperate
with other software packages
|
 |
| Feature Lines |
|
- Easy to use and powerful feature line generation based
e.g. on tape lines and edges.

- Accurate and reliable detection of different hole shapes
|
 |
| Primitives |
|
- Primitives, such as spheres, cylinders, cones, planes,
lines, slotted holes and rectangular holes can be generated
from mesh data by a best fit routine or by individual data
points
- Primitives can be tesselated to have them as stl data
mesh
- Primitives can be exported in Iges format to easily cooperate
with other software packages
|
 |
| Registration |
|
- Pre-registration and best-fit registration (complete data
or selected areas) of measurement data to reference data
- Primitive based (RPS) alignment to CAD data
|
 |
| Inspection |
|
- Intersection and projection of primitives

data (mesh, sections or feature lines) to reference data,
with predefined or customized color maps
- Inspect Modul certified by PTB
- Handling of tolerances, including the calculation and
the visualization of deviation values
- Generation of measurement- and Quality Control data and
reports as supplied by CMM
- Export of the measured data and the tolerances in tabular
forms

  |
| Automation |
|
- Automation is fully supported using an automation protocol
- In this protocol, movements can be recorded, edited and
launched to speed up repetitive steps in the digitizing,
post processing and data evaluation process
- Demo macros are supplied which demonstrate the major
software modules and the customized automation
- Ready to integrate ATOS into an existing process e.g.
inline digitizing, semi-automated digitizing using a rotation
table or automated digitizing based on robot handling
