ZEISS CALYPSO releases

ZEISS CALYPSO is a universal software for applications in dimensional metrology. By regularly updating the software, we ensure modern and future-proof systems.

With the ZEISS CALYPSO 2022 software release, ZEISS is once again ensuring, with more than 60 new functions, a significant increase in performance in quality control for further time and cost savings in the inspection and analysis of components. Above all, optimizations for automation play a major role in the new software version.

ZEISS CALYPSO 2022 offers users many new functions and improvements for the automated creation of finished measuring programs based on Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI) stored in the CAD model. With the new release, separate or combined tolerance zones are recognized, and the corresponding evaluation is automatically created. If defective geometry elements are attached to a PMI in the CAD model, the new release automatically creates the inspection characteristic without the measuring element, thus generating an inspection plan completely and without interruption. For PMI specifications that previously required manual input, manual input is now eliminated. With the new release, PMI generation runs automatically. For more clarity, the inspection characteristic groups are generated automatically with the new release.

The optical distortion correction feature in ZEISS CALYPSO 2022 increases the accuracy of optical systems. A significant increase in accuracy is particularly noticeable in the peripheral areas. The smaller magnifications that can be used as a result increase the "Field of View". This means that more geometry elements can be captured in the image at the same time. Depending on the measurement task and the required tolerance, this reduces the necessary number of measurement images and at the same time saves measurement time.
The latest version of ZEISS CALYPSO 2022 now also supports the new ZEISS O-DETECT. This means that inspection plans from other CMMs - especially from the ZEISS O-INSPECT - can now also be run on this device. This means that all reporting evaluations and CALYPSO functions such as PCM, curve or generate inspection plans with PMI are available to users of the ZEISS O-DETECT.

CMM systems, especially optical ones, are getting faster and faster. With ZEISS CALYPSO, for example, it is now possible to easily measure 1000 holes in ten minutes. However, the subsequent manual evaluation of the measurement logs used to consume an enormous amount of time. With the new release of ZEISS CALYPSO, inspection characteristics with defects are detected and the complete detailed information is automatically displayed in the measurement report. The ZEISS CALYPSO inspection characteristic concept has now also been incorporated into the automated defect analysis in ZEISS PiWeb Reporting. This means that all characteristics "out of tolerance" are now automatically displayed in the interactive CAD view. This means that users no longer have to laboriously search for defects in the log. This saves time and also reduces the risk of overlooking out-of-tolerance features.

So that the coordinate measuring machine is not occupied by the evaluation after the measurement, the evaluation can take place at a 2nd computer. The CMM is free for further measurements immediately after the end of the pure measurement. The measuring points for a subsequent evaluation are automatically stored and transferred to the evaluation computer with the settings from the CNC start. The coordinate measuring machine is immediately free for the next measurement. The evaluation computer can be commissioned by different coordinate measuring machines.
