THE WINDOW ON TO THE SYSTEM Users have the choice of two software packages: PC-DMIS or QUINDOS. Both are known for their efficiency of programming and evaluation processes. PC-DMIS acknowledged as the pioneer in CAD-based, computer-simulated programming. The software offers the ability to program with a simple graphical, intuitive user interface and can display results with a variety of reporting tools. PC-DMIS CAD++ is particularly sui- table for measuring regular geometrical shapes and free-form surfaces. QUINDOS has over 50 options covering almost all industrial applications – from simple parts to special geometries. One strength of this software is its performance in the measu- rement of gear teeth and gear tooth cutting tools, e.g. straight and spiral bevel gears, worms, worm gears, step gears, screw compressors etc. All geometries can be displayed in 3D thanks to the integrated CAD core. 14 | LEITZ PMM-C LINE – Coordinate Measuring Machines
