Overview of AutoComp Components
The AutoComp system typically consists of the following basic components.
- A gaging device, which may be a CMM, vision system, laser micrometer, LVDT-based gage, digital gage, or any device that can output a standard text file. For other gages, contact CEI for applications.
- CNC, the target of offset updates
- AutoComp PC interface software
Gaging Devices
AutoComp can be configured to accept inputs from a wide variety of gage devices.
- CMM or other File-based Gaging Device. AutoComp sup- ports data from numerous CMM file formats, as well as a flexible delimited file format.
- LVDT-based Gaging Device. An LVDT-based gaging device, such as a KurtUSB or Marposs EasyBox, is connected to the PC using a USB port. LVDTs should be set to measure in close proximity to the electrical zero point. AutoComp allows for sign reversal at the LVDT level.
- RS232, USB or Wireless-based Gaging Device. AutoComp supports a variety of industry standard gage devices.
CNC
AutoComp supports several types of CNC controls for automatic tool offset updates.
If using a control not listed, please contact Caron Engineering. A custom CNC interface can be created to meet a systems needs.
AutoComp PC Interface
The AutoComp system requires Windows XP Service Pack 2 or 3, or Windows 7, 8.1, or 10 running on a PC. For some controls, AutoComp can be installed directly on the control’s PC.
The user-friendly interface allows the user to create, edit, load, unload, and delete part routines. Run time data can be viewed in any of four dynamic graphical presentations.
