Hawk Quality Assurance

Additional features

Production-Oriented Quality Control

The software tool is consistently oriented towards product characteristics and the manufacturing process.

Process-Oriented Measurement on CMM

It can be used for process-oriented measurement on a coordinate measuring machine.

Process-Integrated Measurement in Machine Tool

It can be used integrated within a machine tool for efficiency, especially with large parts.

Reduced Complexity for CMM

It simplifies the measuring process by offering high user-friendliness, reducing the need to think in abstract CMM terms.

Simple Measuring Task Preparation

The setting of dimensions is predefined for the measurement of individual parameters, simplifying task preparation.

Automatic Inspection Drawing Creation

Automatically creates the inspection drawing using characteristics transferred from the part parameterization.

Part-Specific Test Drawing Adaptation

Allows part-specific customization of the inspection drawing.

Manual Test Drawing Creation

Enables completely manual creation of test drawings for general measurements using convenient, CAD-like tools.

CAD-Like Dimensioning Tools

Provides CAD-analog tools for production- and part-related dimensioning.

CAD-Like Support Geometry Tools

Offers tools for setting up support geometries (auxiliary line constructions).

Workpiece Feature Recording

Records the geometric features of the workpiece using coordinate measuring technology.

Comparison with Target Values

Compares measurement data against target values from the design drawing.

Production- and Part-Oriented Evaluation

Provides an evaluation and presentation of results oriented towards the manufacturing process and the part itself.

Ad Hoc Comprehensible Graphics

Results are presented in easily understandable graphics.

Homogeneous Interface for Correction (Integrated Solution)

Provides an interface to PTM for correcting geometry and/or manufacturing kinematics based on deviations.

Neutral Interfaces (Stand-Alone Solution)

Offers neutral interfaces to the design department and work preparation when used as a stand-alone solution.

Local Information Base

Functions as a local point of reference for quality assurance data.

Control Element in Production Process Loop

Acts as a monitoring and regulating component in the production control circuit.

Link to Information Processing

Connects the measurement process to broader information processing systems.

Complete Functional Measuring Process

Takes over the entire process, from programming the measuring task to documentation, when standard measuring devices are equipped with HAWK.

Retrofit Solution

Offered as a software solution for integrating into existing measuring devices.

Integration into Machine Tool (Modules)

Provides appropriate modules for integration into the production sequence within a machine tool.

Standard Interface Connection

Connects to machine tool control software, preferably via standard interfaces like DMIS or standard NC code.

Automatic Spatial Geometry Generation

Automatically generates the spatial geometry (e.g., curved cutting edge) for complex parts via a calculation database.

Parameter Name Inclusion in Test Drawing

The automatically generated test drawing contains parameter names for instant understanding.

Bidirectional Data Exchange

Supports two-way data exchange with the measuring device for measuring individual or complete parts directly from the drawing.

Automatic Tolerance Table Access

Provides access to associated tolerance tables when the part is parameterized.

Application-Dependent Descriptive Display

Ensures fast and reliable recording and interpretation of results through tailored display.

Nominal Geometry Read-in

Can read in the nominal geometry, usually via DXF or ASCII files.

Nominal Geometry Adaptation

Allows adaptation of the nominal geometry to the current measuring task using scaling or transformation algorithms.

Flexible Range Operations

Enables flexible setting of measurement, evaluation, and best-fit ranges.

Dynamic Filtering

Eliminates outliers and element transition problems using adjustable dynamic filters.

Targeted Geometry Fitting

Supports targeted fitting of function-determining geometries.

Virtual Probe Simulation

Simulates tactile measurement using a virtual probe based on optical measuring points.

Modular Design

Can be installed as complete stand-alone software or integrated into an existing manufacturing solution.

Shared Data Basis with PTM

Works on the same data/information basis as PTM for parallel preparation of production and quality control.
