Enhancements in Version 6.0 of OpenDMIS
Wenzel has released V6.0 of its popular OpenDMIS CMM software. It may be coincidental but some of the more ground
breaking developments involve support of 6 axis products from Wenzel.
So the big story is about support for the Wenzel CORE M and 6-axis MAXOS (CORE technology on a Wenzel CMM
frame) machines and enhancements for 6-axis CMM machines running Renishaw REVO and rotary table, but what else
does the release have for the more traditional CMM users? What new functions can increase capability and save time for
current OpenDMIS users?
Renishaw REVO
We have added new functionality to V6.0, particularly for the easier handling of ex-
ternal diameters and shafts. Such measurements can now be easily programmed via
the GUI as well as in DMIS code.
Handling of the new RSP3-6 and associated styli are also incorporated.
