Generate measurement programs that will significantly improve inspection quality and efficiency

MiCAT Planner is a software that automatically generates measurement programs for CMMs. It allows anyone to easily generate high-quality measurement programs, and can be relied on to greatly improve the efficiency of measurement operations.

1. Easy to use, no specialized knowledge required

No advanced skills or extensive knowledge and experience required. Anyone can easily generate measurement programs using intuitive operations.

2. Reduced worker hours and improved operation rate

Significantly reduces the time required to create measurement programs. Contributes to reducing worker hours for inspection and production flow as well as improving operation rate.

3. High-quality measurement programs

Makes it possible to create optimal measurement procedures that take into account all measurement items, eliminating variations in measurement quality among personnel.

1. Easy to use, no specialized knowledge required

Challenges in measurement

Programming difficulty.
Tools can only be used by those with training.

Solved with MiCAT Planner

Using intuitive click-based operation, you can easily and automatically
generate measurement programs equalling to those of experts.

Not only checks for collision, but also automatically generates collision avoidance paths that include jigs. Anyone can create safe measurement programs that avoids collisions.

What is PMI?

PMI stands for Product Manufacturing Information, which includes tolerance information, annotations, surface finish, materials, and other information that is needed for manufacturing a product and added to a 3D CAD model.

A three-dimensional model that has structural characteristics (dimensions, notes, quantities, etc.) added to it is called a 3DA model (3D Annotated model).

2. Reduced worker hours and improved operation rate

Challenges in measurement

An increased number of parts to be inspected requires more time to create measurement programs.
Creating a measurement program occupies the CMM, so it is less available for measurement.

Solved with MiCAT Planner

Enables creation of an optimal measurement program offline at the same time as the CAD model is completed.
Reduces inspection worker hours and significantly shortens product manufacturing cycles.

Even when the workpieces are not at hand, measurement programs can be created offline and in a short time. The operation rate of a CMM can be significantly increased.

3. High-quality measurement programs

Challenges in measurement

Measurement results can vary between employees.
Measurement skills difficult to pass on.

Solved with MiCAT Planner

Enables sharing of in-house measurement know-how and rules to eliminate individual differences between operators.
Automatically generates a program to measure all the elements you want to measure in the shortest and fastest way.

Examples of how to use MiCAT Planner

By broadly distributing the generated measurement program to manufacturing departments, quality control departments, business partners, etc., it becomes possible for all parties to perform measurements of the same quality.

Note: All parties need to have the same version of MCOSMOS.

Utilization of MBE (Model-Based Enterprise) 3D models

In a Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) system that distributes 3D CAD data (3DA models) with attached information such as PMI to departments outside the design departments and to suppliers, by utilizing the data throughout the company, work efficiency is improved through accurate communication of design intent and linking of information between each process.

Ideal software for promoting MBE

MiCAT Planner automatically extracts measurement items based on the PMI of the 3D CAD model. The designer's intentions can be properly reflected during measurement, and there is no need for the measurement operator to teach the system the measurement path while looking at drawings.

60-Day Free Trial - Today!

The software included in this Mitutoyo FREE TRIAL can be used for 60 days after installation.

Important: Part programs generated by this demo/test version of MiCAT-Planner, require an MCOSMOS-Run option at the CMM on which this part program is to be executed. This MCOSMOS-Run option is included in this test version but also expires after 60 days. For further use of the by MiCAT-Planner generated part programs after 60 days, the purchase of this MCOSMOS-Run option is necessary.
