You’re not buying software and hardware separately; you’re investing in a system that works together from day one.
The Full Touch Experience
TouchDMIS has been designed to deliver a new kind of metrology experience, focused on simplicity, speed, and ease of use.
Its intuitive touchscreen interface makes programming and inspection more accessible, whether you’re new to CMM operation or an experienced user. With a clean layout, floating toolbars, and clear on-screen workflows, key functions are always within easy reach, helping users work more efficiently with fewer steps.
This modern approach to CMM software brings measurement closer to the shop floor, making high-quality inspection faster and more practical in day-to-day production.
Why Choose TouchDMIS
Faster Time to Report
In production environments, speed matters. TouchDMIS is designed to minimise the time between measurement and reporting, allowing users to generate clear inspection results in just a few simple steps. This helps keep production moving and reduces delays in decision-making.
Fast, User-Friendly Programming
TouchDMIS offers a streamlined programming experience that works for both experienced programmers and new users.
Inspection routines can be created quickly, edited with ease, and fully simulated before execution, helping to reduce errors, avoid collisions, and eliminate unnecessary rework. The result is a more efficient workflow and greater confidence in every measurement cycle.
Key Features
Intuitive Touch Interface
TouchDMIS features a clean, touchscreen-friendly interface that simplifies programming and inspection, ideal for shop-floor environments.
Fast, Geographical Programming
Create inspection routines quickly using visual workflows and CAD-based programming. Reduce setup time and get parts measured faster.
No Code/Low Code Operation
Operators can build and run inspection routines without needing complex coding knowledge, making it accessible across your team.
Realtime Measurement Feedback
See results instantly with clear pass/fail indicators and live data, enabling faster decision-making on the shop floor.
Powerful Reporting
Generate clear, professional inspection reports that can be shared across teams, supporting quality control and traceability.
Flexible for Production Environments
Built to handle real-world conditions, TouchDMIS works seamlessly in manufacturing settings, not just in metrology labs.
Designed for Shop Floor Efficiency
Unlike traditional CMM software, TouchDMIS is built with real-world production environments in mind.
- Production engineers
- Machine operators
- Quality inspectors
Rather than relying on specialist programmers or complex workflows, TouchDMIS enables a wider range of users to take ownership of inspection tasks, helping to reduce bottlenecks and improve responsiveness on the shop floor.
Its intuitive interface and streamlined workflows allow measurement routines to be created, adjusted, and executed quickly, making it easier to keep pace with production demands. This results in faster turnaround times, improved process control, and more efficient use of both equipment and personnel.
