Shadow Automation's ( Metrolosys® ) for probing on machine tools

Inspection Software for Machine-Tool Probing

Metrolosys. The Metrology System that makes it easy to create full GD&T inspection procedures that run on your CNC machine-tool.

Save valuable setup and re-setup time. Check your machined parts before you remove them from the machine.

Volumetrically compensating for your machine's repeatable errors brings this method into compliance with the most demanding requirements in the industry.

Key Benefits -- Implementation of Lean Manufacturing

  • Save valuable setup and re-setup time.
  • Industry standard CAD interface.
  • NIST traceable procedures.

    Metrolosys is a powerful, CAD-based programming and reporting system for machined parts. Based on the industry standard DMIS programming language, Metrolosys quickly enables you to use your CNC milling machine the same way that you use your CMM.

    Any CNC milling machine that is probe-ready can take advantage of these capabilities. No special wiring or computer parts are required.
