What’s new in QUINDOS 2023.2

QUINDOS 2023.2 is the latest release of Hexagon’s world-leading metrology software for special geometries. New features include a powerful new module for mesh and point cloud handling, CNC CAD measurement pattern strategies have been extended for spheres and surfaces and PMI features are now even easier to use. All this and much more in QUINDOS 2023.2

Used for powertrains in aerospace, energy, automotive, and engineering industries. QUINDOS’ structured programming tools enable quality professionals to build highly accurate inspection routines on a range of CMMs. QUINDOS provides an extensive range of modules developed for complex projects and is trusted by leading manufacturers for its versatility and flexibility.

New module for Mesh & Point Cloud handling
Use QUINDOS’ familiar user interface for quick and easy loading of point clouds and for modifying and generating meshes. Use the imported data with standards compliant QUINDOS modules for professional inspection process, analysis & reporting.

Existing QUINDOS inspection plans - used for tactile measurement on CMMs - can be used for the digitised part. Single point probing - scanning (open & closed loop) and self-centring - existing programmes can be easy transferred to point clouds & mesh inspection.

With the successful integration of the Reshaper SDK, points and mesh handling are now available in a single application; professional measurement of special geometries such as gears, blades using the digitised component is possible.

CNC CAD measurement pattern strategies extended for spheres and surfaces
CNC CAD measurement strategies now offer interactive support for spheres and 3D surfaces. With 100% CNC capable and modifiable professional strategies for nominal point generation and measurement strategies, every feature can be reproducibly measured with QUINDOS.

Strategies can be customised with a limited number of parameters via the dialog or with comprehensive parameter access in the editor mode with pre-visualisation.

QUINDOS Inspection Planning with PMIs – now even easier to use
The UI controls have been streamlined to make program creation more efficient. A new operating menu has been integrated for additional convenience and speedier operation.

UI improvements include: reviews with a single click, integrated views in the CAD model can be selected (positioning, section views, feature-oriented views), PMI data can be checked for integration correctness, checks for inactivated references and more.

Other features include: Optional access to individual process steps when processing PMIs for better control (View, Read, Review, Processing individual PMIs, cleaning PMI related data in the database).

Deletion and optimised positioning of self-created QUINDOS Metrology PMIs via the QUINDOS Ribbon

QUINDOS now supports one-click workflows: View, Review & Organize - Use one command instead of 3 steps

QUINDOS 2023.2 offers other new features and improvements, including:

Feature Polygon is now part of the Curves option
Analysis of non-circular profiles are now available with the Curves option

Supports outside and inside profiles of

• P3G-Profil DIN 32711 (harmonic triangle profile)
• P4C-Profil DIN 32712 (disharmonious rounded square profile)

QUINDOS Capto Profiles - UI makeover and optimisation
The option has been standardised in 2023.2 and now offers more intuitive handling and follows the Dark / Light UI mode with standard UI for special geometries.

QUINDOS Capto Profiles takes over the analysis of tool holders / adapters of processing machines according to the standards:

• Shafts according to ISO 26623-1
  (polygonal hollow shaft taper with face contact - Part 1: Dimensions and designation of shafts)
• Holder according to ISO 26623-2
  (polygonal hollow shaft taper with face contact - Part 2: Dimensions and designation of recordings)

QUINDOS offers the vertical and horizontal measurement for raw parts (pre-processed) and finished parts (finished) of tool holders and bushings

QUINDOS Linear Broach - extended scope
The standardised option for linear form broaches has been optimised and the following evaluations & measurement strategies have been added:

• Reference surfaces are now acquired via scans
• Evaluation of pitch distances and flank heights
• Scan of the cutting-edge angle at type H has been integrated
• For type C, the following has been integrated:
  the acquisition/evaluation of oblique cutting edges, the head cutting edge and the tooth height of the head cutting edge
