Hexagon Metrology announced today the availability of CoreView 5.5 for the Cognitens WLS400 automated and manual white light measurement systems. The new version offers improved capabilities in measuring a work piece's geometric characteristics as well as 2D cross section analysis tools. Among other enhancements version 5.5 includes measurement and GD&T inspection of planar geometries broadening the Cognitens WLS400 system's application support and 3D visualization tools that allow users to measure sheet metal features faster and easier than before. Version 5.5 supports a new set of sensor lenses with 360 x 360 mm field of view used for measuring smaller parts and in reverse engineering application. The new CAD import engine by Hexagon Metrology offers faster and more robust loading of 3D files. Accelerated data acquisition and parallel processing shorten the time required to generate a full inspection report.

Certified according VDI/VDE standards

In addition, the Cognitens WLS400 sensor and software is now certified according to the VDI/VDE 2634 Part 2 standard for optical measurement systems.
For Cognitens WLS400A robotic applications, CoreView 5.5 offers new tools for accelerating part programming and increasing system throughput by cutting the overall cycle time. These innovations combined with new colormap analysis options and enhanced measurement capabilities upgrade the Cognitens WLS400A to provide higher 3D metrology value and improved operational flexibility.
