ROMER Releases DOCS 2.3 for Tube Inspection
 WIXOM,
MI, Jan 9, 2008 - ROMER Inc., a Hexagon Metrology company, today announced
the release of DOCS 2.3, a new upgrade of its state-of-the-art tube
inspection software. Designed to revolutionize quality control in the tubing
industry, DOCS (Data Overlay Camera System) 2.3 has numerous features not
found in other software. Used with a ROMER portable CMM, DOCS can inspect
and measure round metallic and non-metallic wire, tubing, and piping used in
almost any industry - automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, medical,
machinery, appliance, and more. DOCS can also produce corrected bend data
for CNC tube benders.

Among the new features of DOCS 2.3 is Auto Single Measure Mode, which
further automates the already easy tube inspection process by significantly
minimizing operator input requirements. Also, support for multiple languages
is now included: English, Chinese (simplified), Czech, German, Spanish,
Italian, Japanese, Polish, and Turkish.
“We continue to develop DOCS as the premier tube inspection and bending
solution,” said Doug Schueneman, Product Manager of Software Integration for
ROMER, Inc. “The new features in this release makes an already easy process
even easier and faster – providing crucial tube inspection data in a matter
of seconds.”
Seamless Integration of Contact/Non-Contact Probes, and DOCS Patented
Transprojection
A ROMER portable arm CMM with DOCS software, plus a non-contact tube
probe (sizes range from 6 mm to 150 mm), allows precise measurement of items
as fine as wire up to tubes that are six inches in diameter. Seamless
integration with contact (touch or touch trigger) probes is also standard,
which enables operators to measure areas inaccessible by non-contact probes.
Based on the length of the arm, touch probes can measure very large tubing
and geometric features such as brackets, tabs, holes, and slots. DOCS
supports ROMER’s powerful switch on-the-fly capability between contact and
non-contact probes during a measurement routine.
When used with ROMER’s INFINITE portable CMM, the DOCS software patented
Transprojection ability allows operators to overlay inspection results on a
live view of the part from the INFINITE arm’s onboard digital camera for the
ultimate in process documentation. This data can easily be included in the
DOCS inspection report or used to make operator instructions.
DOCS Helps to Eliminate Waste in Tube Bending
As tube inspection goes hand in hand with bending, DOCS can send
corrected bend data directly to the CNC bender. This process eliminates
costly transcription errors, and enables correction of bend data based on
inspection results of the first tube bent. The second tube is usually in
spec and ready to ship without wasting hours adjusting the bender trying to
make a good tube. The elimination of waste and scrap, as well as increased
shop productivity, is a key benefit of a ROMER arm system with DOCS. A
connection to one CNC tube bender machine is now included FREE with DOCS
2.3. Additional connections may be purchased at additional charge.
