SpatialAnalyzer is the ultimate software package for quality programs that require an easy-to-configure, programmable system.

The Common-Sense, Commom-Platform Choice for
Dimensional Measurement and Inspection

Imagine running multiple metrology devices in the same job setup from one common interface.  SpatialAnalyzer (SA) is the ultraversatile metrology software that works with virtually any portable, dimensional measurement instrument. SpatialAnalyzer eliminates the need for engineers and metrologists to be skilled in multiple software packages, and provides one common interface for all the various classes of metrology instrumentation. Using a single software program, users can effectively build, inspect, assemble, and reverse engineer large-scale parts and tools.

Using SpatialAnalyzer, operators can simultaneously acquire 3D coordinate data from two or more measurement devices hosted on one or more networked computers. This multi-tasking capability presents major timesaving opportunities by minimizing plant scheduling confl icts and keeping factory processes online. Because the front-end operational software is consistent, users can easily transition to new metrology devices with minimal training on procedural and setup topics.

Relationship Optimization Keeps SpatialAnalyzer Way Ahead of the Pack

Engineers using SA Quality professionals rave about SpatialAnalyzer’s exclusive Relationship Optimization. From feature-fitting to relationshipfitting, SpatialAnalyzer has pioneered a new type of spatial transformation with tremendous benefits. Many industry experts claim this feature alone is worth the price of admission.

Traditional fitting methods, such as point-to-point and point-to-surface, are not always suffi cient for orienting measured data to a CAD model. Relationship optimization allows you to defi ne the optimum transformation to the model based on the form and function of the part. The user can scrutinize and weigh each relationship relative to its signifi cance to the part/tool performance requirements.

Relationship Fitting reduces measurement tolerance guesswork, and improves assembly reliability. Brunson and SA can help you minimize preparation, setup, and flow time, and reap significant cost savings.

3D Graphical Environment for Analysis and Visualization

Users can import 3D CAD data, then measure and perform complex inspection tasks with the most advanced analysis, alignment, and transformation tools. Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) analysis can be performed right on the shop floor! SpatialAnalyzer comes out of the box with a wide range of data translators and the most popular CAD fi le formats. SpatialAnalyzer now reads native CATIA fi les, which eliminates IGES translations and the loss of critical features or geometry.

 

Traceability for Quality Assurance

SpatialAnalyzer preserves fundamental data integrity by storing the raw instrument measurements, and maintaining traceable links for Quality Assurance. Analysis reports delivered in web compatible formats make it easy to share the results with your QA team. Operators can also store several successive jobs in commonly used database formats, including Oracle, SQL Server, Access, or any other ODBC compliant datasource.

Archive Your Measurements with Confidence

One of SpatialAnalyzer’s strong suits is its ability to portray all 3D objects including instrumentation for archival purposes. Operators can effortlessly reconstruct jobs that were completed weeks, months or years before. Additionally, SpatialAnalyzer stores all pertinent
environmental information provided by the measuring instruments such as temperature, pressure, etc. Users may also observe the results of any operational checks that were performed on the instruments during the original job.
