Features Wide Area CMM WM-6000 series

Simple measurement menu:
In addition to distance, angle, holes, and other basic measurements, complex measurements are made easy, including virtual center-lines, GD&T measurements such as flatness, XYZ coordinate measurements, and CAD comparisons.

Temperature Compensation function:
The Temperature Compensation function ensures measurement is performed under the same standards, just like a climate-controlled measuring room, even if the ambient temperature is not constant. Simply select the current temperature and the material, and the WM-6000 will automatically compensate for the standard temperature dimensions.

Design value/tolerance input:
Enter design values and tolerances to automatically judge the measurement (determine the OK/NG result), ensuring measured values are properly checked. Design values and tolerances can also be automatically applied by importing CAD data.

Macro Registration function:
Frequently used measurement procedures can be registered as macros and saved in the application. Saved macros can then be used whenever needed, ensuring efficient measurement with the same procedure.

Switching probes is as simple as putting one probe down and picking the other up, ensuring easy usability for all users.

  Simply wave the probe across the target area

Areas higher than the CAD data are shown in red, and lower areas are shown in blue.

The color map makes it easy to visualize differences between the target and the imported 3D CAD data, allowing for easy and quick confirmation of trends in relation to product design values. Color map settings can also be adjusted to suit the application.

Output data can be checked and edited with various external software.

Elements measured with the contact probe and those created based on scanned data can be output as 3D CAD data in STEP or IGES format, or as 2D data in DXF format. Scanned data can also be output as STL and Point cloud format.

Install the offline application software to a PC to share data among relevant parties for improved efficiency.

The offline application can be used to create inspection routines and check measurement results on a different PC without having to connect the camera. This makes it possible to perform, check, and edit measurements without needing the equipment at hand.

Usage examples:

• Creating inspection routines from the CAD model to increase machine uptime
• Sharing measurement data with other sites and overseas factories
• Capturing data on-site and measuring later on at the office

Significant time savings

The WM-6000 can be used easily by anyone in a wide variety of applications, enabling single-person measurement for targets that would otherwise take a lot of time or more workers with conventional methods.

Inspection report with images:
Measured data can be automatically converted into inspection reports. This ensures information is not omitted and prevents transcription errors. Reports are output in rich text format (RTF) so users can flexibly edit them as needed. Reports can also be printed in PDF format for easy sharing.

Data transfer

Data Transfer function:
This function takes data measured by the WM-6000 and transfers it to a custom Excel^*2 sheet. Data transfer settings can be configured directly from the PC without the WM connected.

Calibrating the probe is incredibly easy with no difficult operations required. Calibration data can also be stored on the device, eliminating the need to save new data each time.

Users can verify measurements daily using the dedicated ball gauge.

*1 Optional: WM-SG

While typically not required, if service or calibration are needed, simply place the probe and camera unit in the dedicated case and send them to KEYENCE. We will lend you a temporary replacement unit free of charge while your machine is being serviced.
