Veriprobe or Camio Studio

[MAW]

Has anyone tried out Veriprobe or Camio Studio? Which one seems to work better? This is going on LK CMM

Veriprobe here. Programming a Virtual DIMS 5 axis Brown and Sharp CMM with it. Pretty straight forward. I wish it was upgraded to X2 would be my only real compliant. Need to get a good post for your machine and all should be good.

Ron,

All I have heard around here is that veriprobe is not the way to go. Our rep will not sell veriprobe but will sell verisurf which we just bought for the faro arm. Our CMM programmer just left to go make more money down the street. So I got moved out of programming into this for now. The Camio software is really limited.

Sorry you are correct Verisurf here as well and it can do some very nice things. Make sure you have the latest download it has some new reports functions that are very nice with MBD and deviation charts.

Does verisurf only work on manual CMMs or can you do full blown programming with it?

[crazy^millman]

I do full blown programming with it. Just need to get a post for your machine is all and good to go. We use Virtual Dimms here and I make all of our CMM programs using Verisurf.

who sells a good post for a cmm machine? Right now we do not even use our faro arm that has verisurf. I want something that mastercam with it like verisurf.

[crazy^millman]

Talk to Verisurf they have somethings in the works that might be able to help you out with the posting. What machine do you have that you need the posting for?? Do you have any programs that have worked on the machine?

We have two LKs and one Brown and Sharpe. Yea we program with camio studio but it is really limited on what you can do with it. If you have to do anything with the model you do it in Catia or Mastercam. If you miss something if have to start over.

I used to program an LK CMM using Verisurf and a simple VB routine that was written by the guy I worked with. I was easier and faster than using Camio. He is still doing it and has been for over 10 years. Currently, he is using LKDmis 5.2.2. He does all the point data in Verisurf and exportthem out to a csv file. He then runs the vb routine within his program which goes and uses the csv files. Call us up and we can see what we can do for you. We can also talk to you about how to best utilize the arm.

Ron and Tim,

I want to thank you for your help on the matter with verisurf. I guess the fast food workers with 6 months experience in aerospace won out on keeping junk Camio. I no nothing after 15 years except to keep my mouth shut and not help out anymore.

Keep us in mind just in case the fast food worker falls into the vat of fry oil.
