ELEY Software: Projector Fit It

Any make of projector can be upgraded using the latest Eley software and a device linking your projector to a PC.

If the projector already has a readout such as QC200 we can take data directly from the RS232 into a PC, and using Fit It software perform fitting and comparing data to a CAD model offering form and geometric measurement, reverse engineering, auto create of features and a print out facility.

Software called Easy Measure is included for feature creation and dimensioning. It’s easy to use, measures points, arcs, circles, lines, angles and distances, all in a graphical display.

If the projector has no readout we can take directly from the scales using our proprietary device called the PIU (Projector Interface Unit), which then links to the PC.

We can also retrofit and edge detection device, and scales where there are none.

In short the FitIT range of products offer the total flexibility to enhance and optimise the operation of your Projector/Shadowgraph at any level. This could be FitIT Software to complement the operation of your existing QC200 or a full upgrade package taking a projector with no readout and upgrading it to allow the use of Edge Detection with the simple functionality of a readout in Easy Measure complemented by the ability to perform advanced fitting and reporting in FitIT

• Eliminates need for overlays.
• Upgradeable to Edge Detection.
• Total flexibility with latest software options.
• Traceability with advanced reporting, printing and e-Mail.

True Shape can:

• Fit Data to a Template
• Create Template from Data
• Fit to Specific Features
• Fit with Constrained Degrees of Freedom
• Fit to Any Alignment
• Fit using Different Methods
• Generate Conditional Reports

True Shape has:

• Easy to Use Interface
• Multiple Cad Formats
• Multiple Data Formats
• Comprehensive Macro Language
• Report Customisation
• Full Dimensioning Facility
• Run-time Switchable languages
• Independent Axis Scaling

True Shape is a 32bit Contour and geometric analysis software, for use with both contact and non-contact measuring applications. It has multiple CAD and Data import facilities together with almost limitless fitting capabilities. The easy to use interface and macro facilities ensure a smooth learning curve giving straightforward integration into either a production or ‘one-off’ environment. Comprehensive graphical and dimensional reporting facilities ensure that the output clear and easy to understand for users and customers alike.

Right hand dialogue boxes with large clear icons, and tabs for changing from one to another, give easy access for dimensioning, creating templates, error customisation, fitting and sectional analysis.

The Dimension tab allows linear dimensions in either axis or a combination of both, as well as radial diameter and angular dimensions, with tolerancing facilities and the flexibility to customise the graphical representation.

The Create tab gives the ability to make a template of geometric features from measured data. Combined with the ability to edit these features to give many of the capabilities of a 2D CAD system.

The Errors and Section tabs ensure the operator has all of the tools required to give a comprehensive and meaningful graphical output.

A 3-button mouse gives access to dynamic screen manipulation (Zoom Pan and Rotate) as well as a ‘right-click’ facility for turning on or off the various elements of the graphical display.

CAD import formats are DXF & Iges for 2D, and VDA & Iges for 3D applications. There is also a CAD export facility for created features in DXF and Iges formats.

Fitting of data points to a CAD template can be done by various methods, from simple fitting to ‘nominals’ through fitting to maximum or minimum material condition, to ‘tolerance zone’ fitting where constantly changing tolerances from 2 CAD files can be used. There is also the capability to constrain the degrees of freedom that are permitted within the fitting routines.

Overall the Ergonomic design of True Shape is intended to give the operator a fast and easy to use software package with all of the capabilities a fitting software should posses.
