ZEISS CALYPSO 2024 is a universal software for dimensional metrology, designed for tactile and optical measurements with ZEISS coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). It focuses on efficiency, flexibility, and reliability, offering several new features and improvements for quality control. Below is a summary of its key features and updates:
Key Features and Updates in ZEISS CALYPSO 2024
64-Bit Architecture:
Now available as a 64-bit version, CALYPSO 2024 supports all current operating systems, enhancing system performance for faster measurements and data processing.
Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) Integration:
Users can create inspection plans using PMI data based on a new Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) library, enabling faster and more productive workflows by incorporating form and position tolerances directly from CAD models.
Dynamic Planning Option:
The new ZEISS CALYPSO dynamic planning feature allows users to adapt inspection plans with a few clicks, based on statistical rules from ZEISS GUARDUS MES and CAQ systems. This optimizes inspection frequency, saving significant time during measurement processes.
Improved Mathematical Algorithms:
Enhanced algorithms boost performance for calculating freeform surfaces, point sets, and deviations. The Gauss-Chebyshev method for tactile and optical points is optimized, achieving up to 100x faster calculations for optical points and faster data transfer.
Reflex Correction for Edge Recognition:
A new reflex correction feature improves the robustness of edge detection by reducing the impact of surface finishing, enhancing measurement accuracy.
4-Axis Measurements with ZEISS LineScan:
Supports the combination of ZEISS LineScan and a rotary table for 4-axis measurements, reducing the need for sensor reorientation and enabling faster, high-performance measurement tasks.
Freeform Surface Enhancements:
Includes split programming and morphological filters for freeform surfaces, improving usability. The optimized freeform interface allows users to eliminate outliers, adjust CAD point outputs, and interactively customize report displays.
Usability Improvements:
Features a new dialog for start and base systems, a transferable measurement element display via a brush function, and greater flexibility for programming complex inspection plans.
Automated fault analysis detects out-of-tolerance characteristics and displays them in interactive CAD views via ZEISS PiWeb Reporting, reducing manual evaluation time.
Curve and Gear Metrology:
Supports measurement of connected curves and offers new filters for freeform surfaces. In gear metrology, ZEISS GEAR® PRO 2024 includes noise analysis tools like order spectrum analysis and color-coded topography visualization for e-mobility applications.
Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA):
The ZEISS SMA provides access to all updates, service packs, application expertise, and continuous support at reduced upgrade costs, ensuring long-term quality and productivity.
