| RevWorks
applies state-of-the-art statistical
algorithms to collected part data
in order to extract best-fit geometries
for the features measured. The fitting
process allows users to collect many
sample points for a single feature,
which lessens the impact of data noise
and surface irregularities, resulting
in greater measurement precision.

The RevWorks ProbeManager and AlignmentManager
are powerful tools for managing probe
calibration and creating precision part
alignments. Documents created can be
saved for protection against system
shut-downs and moved between working
systems for greater production portability.
ProbeManager
Create and
manage multiple probe and probe set
definitions. RevWorks ProbeManager works
interactively with each supported digitizing
device to provide a comprehensive tool
for defining, qualifying, verifying
and storing probe definitions. You can
easily switch between qualified probes
without losing part registration. For
devices that support accurate probe
interchange, you can even switch probes
without the need to requalify.
AlignmentManager
Create and manage multiple
datums and datum sets using a variety
of datum types to create a common
coordinate system between SolidWorks
and your digitizer. You can also create
digitizing environments larger than
the reach of your digitizing device
with the integrated Leap Manager™
which tracks how you move a digitizer
around a large part. Datum points:
• 3 –
Point – Digitize 3
points to define datum plane and part
orientation.
• 3 – Sphere
– Digitize 3 spheres define
datum plane and part orientation.
• Custom (3–2–1)
– Digitize part geometry to
define datum plane and part orientation.
Data
Point Collection – Single Point
and Scan Point Modes
RevWorks offers two options
for collecting the point data used
to make measurements and create features:
Single Point Mode and Scan Point Mode.
While operating in Single Point Mode,
one press of a key or button causes
one point to be taken. Data collected
for two-dimensional features in Single
Point Mode may be taken any distance
from the current sketch plane and
the data is automatically projected
to the currently active sketch plane.
For three-dimensional features the
data is collected directly into a
SolidWorks three-dimensional sketch.
The Scan Point
Mode now allows you to capture data
using SnapScan™ or freeform
scanning. SnapScan limits data collection
to a user-definable collection band
buffering the active sketch plane,
allowing users to accurately collect
data on a sectional plane without
having actual markings or edges on
the part to work from. With freeform
scanning, you have the option to apply
interval filters, which limit the
data collected by definable measures
such as time or distance. Freeform
scanning allows you to collect streaming
data on a freeform surface or along
a three-dimensional path and control
the amount of information captured.
These methods give you great flexibility
for collecting part features and characteristics.
