Since 2022, ZEISS CALYPSO has been offering you many new functions and improvements for the automated creation of finished measuring programs based on Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI) stored in the CAD model. Separate or combined tolerance zones are recognized now, and the corresponding evaluation is automatically created. If defective geometry elements are attached to a PMI in the CAD model, the new release automatically creates the inspection characteristic without the measuring element, thus generating an inspection plan completely and without interruption. In addition, PMI generation runs automatically. For more clarity, the inspection characteristic groups are generated automatically with the new release.

With ZEISS CALYPSO, you can easily measure 1000 holes in ten minutes, for example. To optimize the subsequent manual evaluation of the measurement reports, ZEISS CALYPSO recognizes the inspection characteristics with errors and automatically displays the complete detailed information in the measurement report. This ZEISS CALYPSO inspection characteristic concept has now also been incorporated into the automated defect analysis in ZEISS PiWeb reporting. This means that all characteristics that are out of tolerance are automatically displayed in the interactive CAD view.

To ensure that your coordinate measuring machine is not occupied by the evaluation after the measurement, you can evaluate the measurement results on another computer. The CMM is free for further measurements immediately after the measurement has ended – the utilization is significantly increased. The evaluation computer can be commissioned by different coordinate measuring machines.

The new option ZEISS CALYPSO dynamic planning allows you to easily adapt the inspection plan based on statistical rules from ZEISS GUARDUS MES and ZEISS GUARDUS CAQ. These rules determine how often measurement characteristics are inspected in a measurement plan. This plan can be influenced in the process. With ZEISS CALYPSO dynamic planning, the measurement plan can be adapted with just a few clicks. Based on the applied rules, significant time savings are possible during the measurement process.

An improved mathematical algorithm provides a significant increase in performance for the calculation of freeform and point sets as well as freeform deviations. In addition, the software features an improved adaptation of the Gauss-Chebyshev method for tactile as well as optical points. The latter are calculated faster by a factor of 100. Furthermore, the improved mathematical algorithm enables a significantly accelerated data transfer. The optimized freeform user interface can now be used to eliminate outliers, set the number of points output in the CAD window and interactively adjust the CAD display in the report output. Thanks to all these innovations, ZEISS CALYPSO now delivers results up to 20 times faster.
