Specs
What is the WM scan speed?
Max 2.4 million Points/Second
What are the 4 possible exportable files types for XM/WM?
STEP, IGES, DXF
STL (only for WM)
What is a Datum?
A reference component/feature that enables you to describe positions in three-dimensional space.
What's the difference between the three software options on the home screen.
Single Measurement - create an inspection routine / measure a part
Run - remeasure a part already checked, or duplicate those measurements on another part
Statistics / Analysis - View past measurement data / print reports
Why is it important to be able to read a print as a sales engineer?
It is important to connect and communicate with customers. Show that we understand what they use day to day.
XM measurement range in metric (mm)
2000 x 1000 x 1200 mm
What are the 4 points to make every time you scan?
1. Violet laser
2. Cross-hatched
3. Working Distance
4. Live monitor on the scanner
What is CAD?
Computer Aided Design
Digitally create 2D drawings and 3D models of real-world parts
How do you create a Simple Coordinate- Cylinder?
4 points: 3 around cylinder on the same plane and 1 to set the direction of the x-axis
What is Consultative Selling?
Customer Focused
Listening and asking questions
Uncover needs and magnitude of problems
Recommend solution that solves the biggest pain
What are the 2 WM 6000 Ranges
6025 = ±25x11x12.5 m
6010 = ±10x3.5x5 m
How does our calibration process work compared to competitors and why?
No calibration just recertification with NIST artifact
Traditional methods use encoders or glass scales, but we are optics based with everything in the camera head protected in an acrylic block.
What does RPS stand for?
Reference/Relative Point System
Point vs Raw Point and use cases
Point:Can be projected into a plane. Takes into consideration the dummy point/angle of the stylus to project the point to an edge.
Raw Point: Just picks the Center of the Ruby Tip.
Why do our customers use CAD?
1. Can share, review, simulate, and modify designs easily
2. Part of their inspection requirements
CAD Comparison
Profile
3. Reverse Engineering!
What is resolution?
Point Density / Spacing per inch
Indicates amount of points per mm3 (3D)
Higher resolution = more data / finer detail = smaller number
0.4 mm is good for >90% of features
Why scan instead of probe on the WM?
1. More Data Needed
Scanning can provide more points than touch probing
2. Complex Geometry
The part has contours that are not standard geometric shapes that we can probe.
3. Material
If touching the part would cause difficulty in measurement
What is Concatentate/ When does it occur?
Step in camera movement
Merges the two views
Grays out anything created during the Camera Movement
Don't have to physically do anything
What do each of the three points for a coordinate do to create it?
Plane sets z axis
Line axis sets x axis
Point sets the y axis =0
Why are our single object reports usefull?
Clean/easy to read, Customizable, Pictures, Automatically Output
WM 6000 Accuracy Formula (probe and scan)
Probe: ±28 + 5L/1000 µm (~1 thou)
Scan: ±50 + 5L/1000 µm (~2 thou)

What does LMC stand for and mean?
Least material condition
This essentially looks to see what the least material is a feature can have
What does Mesh generation do and how does it export?
Using triangulation, a mesh connects the points in the cloud together.
This data can be exported as a .stl.
What are you most excited for about the job?
