Overview of

SpatialAnalyzer

Overview of SA• Metrology Architecture

– Instruments – CAD – Analysis – Traceable!– Object Oriented Open Architecture

• Easy to Use Graphical Environment – Visualize Communicate

• Common User Interface – Interfaces to +50 different instruments– Multiple On-Line instruments (simultaneously)

• Advanced Analysis Technology– Bundle different instruments and stations– Relationship Optimization

• Rigorously - Tested Optimization Engine

Overview of SA• Direct Model Controlled

Assembly Automation– Direct CAD Import (CATIA V4 &

V5, UG, ProE) – Closed-loop assembly with

the design features– Real-Time 6D control of

assembly process• ISO Combined Uncertainty

and Analysis– Graphics Visualize 3D

Uncertainty Clouds– Combine Measurement

Technologies• Programmable

Measurement Process Scripting

• Integrated Custom Reporting

• Collections Manage Large Scale Jobs

Distributed Computing Architecture

• SA is Object Oriented– Encapsulates unique instrument capabilities – Inheritance between interfaces Common UI– Cooperative Environment between Instruments

• Communication Architecture– TCP/IP from SA to Instrument Interfaces– Instrument Interface to Instrument in RS-232,

TCP/IP, NetBEUI, etc. – Direct interface to Aux Instrumentation (e.g.,

Level, Alignment Lasers, Thickness etc.)– Remote Monitoring: TCP/IP from SA0 to SA1, …

SAn

Auxiliary Instrumentation

Integrated Metrology Technologies• Laser Trackers• Laser Radar – Targetless• Laser Scanners• PCMM’s• Digital Videogrammetry• Optical Triangulation

– Local GPS– Theodolite Networks

• Auxiliary Instrumentation – e.g., Levels, Alignment

Lasers, Thickness, Environmental + more

Optimize with SA• Classic

Optimization– Points to Points– Points to Surface

ERS

Relationships

• Relationships + NonLinear Constraints– Point to Point– Points to Objects– Groups to Objects– Frame to Frame– Object to Object …

Etc.
