Essential skills videos

Watch these videos to learn about some of the essential skills in PowerInspect.

Introduction to essential skills

Get started with the PowerInspect process from importing CAD to viewing and exporting reports. Learn more about the different inspection device types, with or without CAD or from a drawing only.

Import CAD files

This video guides you through the stages of importing CAD files, navigating the toolbar, quick overview of coordinate systems, alignments, and point clouds.

Machine connection

This video guides you through choosing the right protocol for manual devices and CMMs. Learn the difference between connect and attach, while setting up live feedback from PowerInspect.

Probe set-up and calibration

This video demonstrates probe set-up and calibration, including probe head and stylus creation for on machine verification and coordinate measurement machines (CMMs).

Alignments and datums

This video walks you through geometric alignments, including PLP, RPS, free form, and best fit. Other areas covered are point-cloud alignment, datum to 2D, shifted datum and how it affects the report coordinates.

Geometric inspection

This video demonstrates geometric features for inspection, including the Sequence Tree and Geometry Explorer. Get more from the picking mode using the Wireframe Checker, and learn how to create geometry and measure without CAD.

Form inspection

Learn the differences between the types of inspection group, and learn about creating and simulating a CNC inspection group.

Probe-path strategies and methods

Learn how to automatically and manually generate probe paths for geometry and form.

Point cloud

This video explores acquiring, importing, and evaluating from point clouds.

Measurements and reporting

Learn about simulating and measuring inspections, and how to create reports.
