What’s new in QUINDOS 2023.1

Smart generation of measuring strategies for cylinders and cones
Smart generation of nominal points for standard geometries has been extended with the addition of cylinders and cones. Now you can repeat the generation of nominal points with one click without entering the interactive dialog.

Strategies can be adapted for challenging geometries or measurement strategies can be selected at any time.

For use with QUINDOS Basic with CAD usage

QUINDOS Cube View
View positioning is now made simple using the new QUINDOS Cube View. WIth adjustable labels & size, creating an optimal view for working in the GUI has never been easier.

For use with QUINDOS Basic

Gear Data Exchange (GDE) version 3
QUINDOS 2023.1 has now released with support for Gear Data Exchange (GDE) v3. GDE according to guidelines VDI/VDE 2610 are supported and includes Integrated versions 3.0 to 3.2

To meet the latest standards new commands have been added for import and export. as well as additional support for beveloid gears.

New commands include

• GDE3Import - Supports the import of the basic geometry as well as gear flank modifications, measured coordinates and parameters for pitch, profile and helix evaluation
• GDE3Export - Exports data from QUINDOS (basic geometry and modifications, measured coordinates, evaluated parameters)
• GDE3Append - Appends data to an existing GDE file

Module Gear - Cylindrical Gear
Extended Evaluation & Advanced graphical evaluation acc. ISO1328-1:2013 (DIN ISO 1328-1:2018)

The introduction of ISO 1328-1:2013 brought with it numerous new tolerance definitions & characteristic value calculations and combination possibilities. Their graphical visualisation has now been fully integrated into QUINDOS with the extension of the gear plots.

Improvements to the Module Gear also include support for probe configuration. With the new command GearCalcDiaStarStylus, the user receives qualified support in determining the required probe configuration.

Based on tip & root diameter and the number of styli per stylus configuration, QUINDOS calculates the critical angle between the styli in the star configuration and the minimum outer diameter of the configuration.

For use with Module Gear – Cylindrical Gear

New small features when working without CAD
Fast, simple generation of multiple circles with one command. Ideal for step cylinders (acquisition of step surfaces or cylinders) and measurement of surfaces with concentric circles (GenCircularPoints). Can also be used for generating single points for measurement via dialog (GENPNT). Also provides easier definition of probing direction for planes in dialog via icons (GENPLA)

Form Plots - easy transfer of content
Fast transfer of form plot contents into the measurement report via the selection list (PLS_PageToReport) plus easy selection of the desired plot area

QUINDOS 2023.1 offers other new features and improvements, including:

QUINDOS Dialog panel extended
Users can now toggle the visibility of advanced settings in a command dialogue.

This gives the user a central access to extended modes at a central place in the dialog panel.

CMM Monitoring with the new gauge CMM Check 2.0
QUINDOS supports the measurement of the new gauge CMM Check 2.0 from eumetron, which replaces the previous version of the test gauge.

CMM Check 2 is a modular test specimen with DAkkS calibration certificate, which is used exclusively for CMM monitoring - a machine acceptance is out of scope 

New DATAKIT CATIA Converter
In QUINDOS 2023.1 the import of native CATIA V6 CAD files is now supported.

The new QUINDOS DATAKIT Converter is available as single user license and server license.
