Software Automates Quality Inspection

Verisurf Software, Inc. (Chicago, IL) is pleased to announce Verisurf X8 with many new enhancements that make stationary coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), portable CMMs and 3D scanners more productive for automated inspection, guided assembly and reverse engineering.

Built on a powerful CAD platform, Verisurf X8 provides a variety of manufacturing measurement solutions to meet the needs of the quality lab and in-process applications on the shop floor.

“We are very excited to introduce Verisurf X8; the new AUTOMATE™ module enables quality engineers to program and run automated inspection routines on fixed gantry CMMs, while expanding portable in-process inspection and reverse engineering measurement applications across the manufacturing enterprise,” said Ernie Husted, the president of Verisurf Software. “Whether the customer wants a single point solution or a company-wide measurement platform, Verisurf X8 can meet their needs.”
