 Dr. Heinrich Schneider Messtechnik, one of the leading companies in production metrology, has presented its new measurement and analysis software SAPHIR QD and a new series of projectors.
“SAPHIR QD clearly belongs to the age of Metrology 4.0. as inspired by Industry 4.0,” explains Wolfram Kleuver, MD, Dr. Heinrich Schneider Messtechnik. “This is because the work piece automatically integrates itself into the measurement process as an information carrier, without an RFID chip being required.”

Measurement with the SAPHIR QD software is easy to complete. The workpieces to be measured can even be placed on the measurement table in a mirror inverted way – the part will nevertheless be recognised so that measurement can be performed.
In the development of SAPHIR QD, the design engineers have not only provided for the measurement of individual parts, but have also succeeded in integrating functionalities for the measurement of several identical parts  as well as several different parts. Also the programming feature has been paid attention. Whenever a work piece without a dedicated measurement programme is placed on the measurement table, the contour of the part will nonetheless be recognised immediately.
The software will automatically identify the centroled of the workpiece and then perform an alignment operation. By placing arrow heads in the locations to be measured on the workpiece, the user can trigger an automatic transfer of measurement locations to the measurement programme. Alternatively, this task can also be entirely delegated to the software itself because the software is capable of capturing all measurable elements and integrating them into the measurement programme as required.
