en.Wedoany.com Reported - Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division in Sweden recently released an updated version of its PULSE environmental monitoring system, specifically designed for Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs). This update aims to help manufacturers more effectively monitor environmental conditions that could impact measurement accuracy. The upgrade expands the monitoring scope through improved hardware and software to enhance CMM performance in complex environments such as shop floors.
After the update, the PULSE environmental monitoring system can track various parameters such as temperature, humidity, vibration, shock, and probe deflection. This helps operators identify factors affecting inspection results, particularly in shop floor environments where conditions are typically harder to control than in metrology rooms. This improvement aids manufacturers in promptly identifying issues and ensuring the accuracy of measurement data.
The updated version includes several hardware and platform changes. For example, it achieves native integration with automation and factory systems through Hexagon's Metrology Communication Interface (MCI), allowing PLCs, MES platforms, dashboards, and automation software to utilize PULSE environmental monitoring data. The probe deflection monitoring feature helps distinguish between vibration or shock and probe collisions, the latter of which may require recalibration. The system also offers interoperability with third-party systems, adopts a modular design to support future sensor and feature additions, and is compatible with all Hexagon CMMs and mixed fleet environments.
These changes are designed to support CMM availability and automated inspection workflows, thereby improving production efficiency. The update to Hexagon's PULSE environmental monitoring system reflects the company's ongoing innovation in the field of industrial measurement, providing manufacturers with more reliable environmental monitoring solutions.
