Hawk Quality Assurance

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

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

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

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

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

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

Allows part-specific customization of the inspection drawing.

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

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

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

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

Compares measurement data against target values from the design drawing.

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

Results are presented in easily understandable graphics.

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

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

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

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

Connects the measurement process to broader information processing systems.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Eliminates outliers and element transition problems using adjustable dynamic filters.

Supports targeted fitting of function-determining geometries.

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

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

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