(Nikon: Leuven, Belgium) -- Nikon Metrology introduces CAMIO7, featuring a new metrology software interface that redefines 3-D tactile and laser CMM inspection. With fewer mouse clicks and instant access to programming functions from a single ribbon toolbar, the programming experience is both faster and easier than previous versions. CAMIO7 users are able to program many differing features within a single operation, and graphically step around the measurement path before committing to the part program or CMM. By packaging powerful capabilities into such an uncluttered user interface, CAMIO7 metrology software makes CMM programming an altogether more flexible and productive experience.

The CAMIO7 programming environment is developed with every user profile in mind. An important design criterium was to combine powerful functionalities with easy-to-use workflows. Users can select any combination of features to measure by using “Teach and Learn” from the handbox, picking from a CAD model, or typing coordinates from the component drawing. CAMIO7 automatically programs the touch points for each feature; however, specific touch points can be defined if required.
