Program Builder & NextGen Metrology Software
Overview
Adcole Program Builder is a robust and versatile software solution developed for the inspection and reporting of camshaft, crankshaft, and cylindrical components. Purpose-built for precision metrology, this exclusive gage software simplifies the inspection process through an intuitive characteristics checklist that enhances usability and reduces the potential for error. Its user-friendly interface is accessible to operators of all experience levels, while its support for radial, linear, and axial measurement parameters allows for full customization to meet specific application needs.
Complementing this is the NextGen UI, a modernized interface designed to optimize gage operation, streamline part measurement, and improve data analysis. Engineered with productivity and precision in mind, it offers intuitive controls, real-time visual feedback, and advanced reporting tools. Together, these features deliver a seamless and efficient user experience across all Adcole gages.
Ideal Applications: Program Builder is engineered to handle the most demanding measurement tasks, making it ideal for:
- Complex camshaft and crankshaft assemblies
- Heavy-duty diesel engine components
- Transmission and output shafts
- Cylindrical parts requiring radial, linear, or axial measurements
- Other precision cylindrical components across various industries
Software Capabilities
Key features of the Program Builder software include automated report template generation to ensure consistent and error-free output. Users benefit from both online and offline programming capabilities, as well as integration with SPC tools and graphical output displays.
Likewise, the NextGen software includes real-time, color-coded output provides immediate visual alerts to potential issues during the measurement process. Dynamic plot scaling allows users to zoom and pan individual feature plots, including polar plots, for in-depth inspection. The software also supports:
- Data annotation
- Enabling users to mark report plots with data points for added clarity
- Comprehensive reporting capabilities generate detailed results with clear Go/No-Go status indicators
- Interactive report navigation makes it easy to apply zoom and scale settings across multiple features
Additionally, flexible report storage options support various formats such as PDF, image, print, and no-print, with user prompts to ensure reports are saved appropriately.
Benefits
The customizable characteristic checklist and tabbed interface allows teams to focus on specific process needs, while support for both online and offline programming adds flexibility. Users can independently configure Qs-Stat’s K 2005 characteristic class per operation, ensuring precise quality control. Designed for efficiency, the system enables reuse of selections and inspection operations across similar parts, significantly reducing programming time. It automatically generates all necessary files for measurement, output, and SPC reporting—including graphical displays—streamlining the inspection process and minimizing human error.
The software enhances productivity with a modern, touch-friendly interface that reduces training time and improves ease of use. It provides clear, visual feedback to help operators confidently accept or reject parts, while automated data insights identify and report minimum and maximum values across selectable data ranges. With flexible parameter reporting, graphical outputs, and scalable architecture, the software supports evolving manufacturing needs—empowering users to maintain high quality standards while optimizing operational efficiency.
