Metus Metrology Software for VISIUS CMM

Metus Metrology Software removes complexity from vision measurement workflows, reducing time and costs associated with quality and process control tasks in industrial applications.

Built upon Hexagon's world leading GD&T library, it offers powerful image processing algorithms and a wide range of features to efficiently measure simple or complex components.

Metus works hand in hand with Hexagon's VISIUS range of optical CMMs. This cost-efficient, all-in-one system means machine shops don't have to compromise for the sake of affordability, allowing them to enhance and improve processes in an economy where every dollar counts.

Fast

• Save time and effort with streamlined measurement operations
• Quickly measure distance, angles, and holes. Simplify complex tasks such as creating virtual centerlines, GD&T assessments and XYZ coordinates
• Integrated programming with CAD data.

Simple

• Clear screen layout for direct access to common programming, evaluation and reporting functions
• Intuitive software with a minimal learning curve. Set up measurements with just a few mouse clicks
• Programme measurement routines using a range of time saving tools
• Use camera based navigation to quickly identify points, lines, and circles to measur

Reliable

• Precision measurements, compliant with industry standards created for quality control and compliance in manufacturing
• Ensure compliance with design specifications using embedded Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
• Powerful image processing with trusted edge detection algorithms.
• Clear, concise reporting available in a range of convenient, easy to share formats.

Smart edge detection
Advanced image processing algorithms with powerful image and element filters. Reliable detection of geometric elements even with low‑contrast edges.

Programming with CAD
Import DXF, Gerber and other CAD formats, for automatic feature extraction and measurement routine generation. Reduce programming time and eliminate data input errors.

Image stitching
Stitching of multiple FOVs from the vision sensor into a high‑resolution panoramic image of the measuring region. Accurate sensor positioning and fast feature programming within the stitched panorama.

Reporting
Metus can calculate visual statistical data such as CA, CP, CPK, and generate measurement reports in real time. Results can be shared and accessed through common file formats such as Excel TXT and CSV or exported to third party databases.

3D graphical form deviation analysis
Graphical representation of the form deviation of measured elements. Convenient analysis of the measurement results.

Field of view (FOV) measurement
Simultaneous measurement of all elements that fit within the vision sensor's field of view. Acceleration of the inspection process by up to 70%, depending on feature size and density.

Real-time colour-coded pass/fail result summary
Quick identification and remeasuring of out‑of‑tolerance or failed‑to-measure parts. Cut data analysis time, improve overall inspection efficiency.

Programme editing with instant data refresh
Easy programme editing with batch modification of feature parameters and instant data refresh.

Metus and HxGN Visual Detection

Add AI powered defect detection to your inspection workflow
Hexagon Visual Detection is an AI‑powered automated surface inspection tool capable of detecting surface defects on a wide range of materials.

It is ready for use with Metus and VISIUS to combine feature measurement and visual surface inspection in a single system.

Machine learning technology is used to quickly learn from sample images in order to identify scratches, cracks, dents and more on glass, metal, plastics, ceramics and textiles.

This streamlined quality inspection and defect detection workflow reduces manual effort, delivers greater accuracy and improves throughput.
