CALYPSO Metrology Software
Revolutionary CAD-based metrology software.
Visual Metrology:
The Easy Way to Create Part Programs
Imagine measuring software that returns exactly the information you want within the shortest possible time; measuring software whose results can be understood by everyone involved in the manufacturing process; measuring software that frees you from time-consuming, routine activities. You select the tolerances from the drawing or the CAD model according to the requirements of the workpiece. You define the measuring elements to be evaluated. The integrated assistant helps you select the necessary references and, before you know it, your measuring plan is ready.

This method of creating and maintaining measuring plans – Visual Metrology – is the basis of CALYPSO. The advantages are at your finger tips: create a measuring plan without programming a single line! No time-consuming, structural programming. No difficult code or text editing. Concentrate on what’s really important – the actual measuring task.

CALYPSO CAD-based measuring software.
Software Concept
  • Software for all measuring strategies and tasks
  • Integrated in production
  • Can be combined with non-ZEISS measuring systems via DME interface
  • Articulated-arm measuring machines, laser trackers and computed tomographs can be used
  • Interfaces for all standard CAD formats
Programming
  • Offers all design features for intuitive measurement program generation
  • Fast and reliable programming through Visual Metrology: tolerances are selected based on the requirements from the drawing or the CAD model; integrated assistant provides support during the selection of the references and creates the finished measurement plan

Measurement and Evaluation
  • Interactive guidance through CALYPSO during the measurement
  • Filter function, special calibration procedures, optimum approach and travel paths, as well as measuring in one pass with VAST navigator for highly precise measuring results
  • Standardized protocol output in QDSA or DMIS
  • Results can be transferred to SPC software
Flexible Options and Features
  • CAD Interfaces:
    Standard—STEP, IGES, and VDAFS
    Direct—CATIA V4 & V5, PRO E, DXF
    Characteristic Input
  • CALYPSO Planner Offline Version: Generate measurement procedures directly from the available CAD model data on an offline workstation.
  • CALYPSO Simulation: Simulate the measurement program before you run it on the CMM. Optimize it, reduce CMM use for program testing, and keep errors to a minimum.
  • Options:
    GEAR PRO—gear measurement
    BLADE PRO—turbine blade measurement
    EDM—Erosion modules
    CC Curve—Curve measuring
