CAD import formats include DXF, Gerber, as well as CSV location lists. Advanced review mode allows the user to visually inspect specific features in real time after a run has been completed. The coarse alignment feature allows the positioning of finders to be updated in real time for more accurate measurements. Built-in analysis tools allow for quick and easy analysis of large data trends. These tools include scatter plots, histograms of dimensional values, and whisker plots showing deviation from nominal. Evaluate your measurement requirements and recommend the solution that best fits your needs.

TurnCheck software is fast and easy to program with a focus on what you want to measure rather than how to measure it. Automatic feature extraction immediately finds and measures all part features in a single scan. A single image displaying the entire part allows you to easily see all basic shaft measurements at once. Rotational scans can be done for form and runout measurements providing plots to truly visualize the results. Pre-programmed parts are automatically rotationally aligned allowing for fast and intelligent one-touch measurement every time. For effortless thread analysis, a large variety of common types are part of an integrated thread library to quickly obtain results such as pitch and major/minor diameter. Data points can be compared directly to a DXF model including 2D GD&T analysis. Additional data points can be output to optional SmartProfile® software for 3D analysis and advanced GD&T.

Scan-X® is a powerful, yet easy-to-use, surface profiling software package that allows users to visualize and make measurements from surfaces.
