Introduction
Introduction KOTEM was founded in 1992 as software development company specializing in metrology Expertise in CAD, Mathematical libraries for metrology, GD&T algorithms. Our employees hold advance degrees; 95% have either a MSc or PhD. Members of ASME and ISO technical committees on GD&T and metrology Broad customer engagements Automotive: Chrysler, GM Aerospace: Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, Rolls-Royce Medical: Boston Scientific, Medtronic, Stryker Consumer: Apple, Hitachi, Seagate Became a Quality Vision International company in 2005. QVI (OGP) is a 72 years old private company with HQ in Rochester, NY and is a leader in multisensor CMMs 2
KOTEM Products KOTEM has a long history of software products Prior to 2005 KOTEM products where sold to OEMs under their brand names. SmartFit 3D in 1992 MeasureFit in 1998 Recent KOTEM Products SmartProfile 3D in 2008 KOTEM EVOLVE started work in 2006 released in 2016
EVOLVE SmartProfile GD&T and Dimensional Evaluation Software for Manufacturing Quality Control and Analysis Hardware independent, point data can be used from any measurement system Offline and mobile, faster evaluation Drawing or PMI based measurement callouts Broadest support of ASME and ISO standards + Explanations Automatic evaluation + reporting Quick visual Go/No-Go analysis Eliminate results variability caused by different metrology software packages evaluation techniques Eliminate human error caused by incorrect interpretation of standards and drawings Visual results allow quick assessment of part functionality and determination of required process corrections 4
Product Family Supports the needs of enterprises from design through manufacturing and QA Increases efficient communication between departments Dimensional quality is in focus, as a common platform Pointing out the impact and competency relationship between departments Quality is handled by the EVOLVE products across the whole digital thread, this is Industry 4.0 Reduce cost 5
Industry 4.0 Workflow & KOTEM EVOLVE DESIGN Analysis Manufacturing Smart Profile Data Preparation SPC GD&T Evaluation CMM s 6
EVOLVE Design This tool helps design engineers or quality engineers to set up and validate proper GD&T and traditional tolerancing by showing the impact of those requirements ASME/ISO standards explanatory Drawing correctness GD&T proofing with same GD&T rules as QA Wall thickness analysis 7
EVOLVE SmartProfile Get normalized and fully automated evaluation (no programming involved) from All metrology devices in the company or suppliers. Get Data Measured by CMM 8
EVOLVE Manufacturing Analyze and correct errors in your manufacturing process Simulate fixturing with Coordinate Systems Feature groups defined by fixturing or tool usage Analyze errors listed by error components (Location, Orientation, Size, Form) 9
EVOLVE SPC CAD Model based 3D visual results Real-Time Charts Gage R&R Reporting Database 10
EVOLVE Data Preparation This tool is for importing and processing scan or CT data Dense and noisy scan data captured quickly by a laser scanner Reliable, sparse, CMM like point data for standard based GD&T evaluatuion 11
EVOLVE Data Preparation Import points from any sensor type (.stl is supported) Standard based filters CAD model can be used to provide intelligence Eliminate points by CAD deviation (color map) Noise reduction, point elimination CMM-like sampler Source-Result / Before-After visu. 12
EVOLVE LNP Experience 1. Importing and processing measurements using the DataPrep functionality 2. Reduce the Large Number of Points, extract CMM-like high quality points 3. Evaluating the measurements based on the reduced points 4. Analyze the results graphically with color maps 5. Carry out a simple CAD-Scan deviation analysis (use BestFit alignement and Least Squares evaluation technic if needed) 6. Document the results in reports 7. Automate and replay the process 13
