Multisensor in depth: PC-DMIS optics training at Hexagon
After the basic PC-DMIS course in January, the follow-up came on 8 June 2026: the PC-DMIS optics course at Hexagon. That covers both sides of multisensor measurement in the Hexagon world — tactile and optical. Read about the first course →
The topics covered, on the Optiv M Dual Scan+ with two Z axes:
- Part alignment with optics — with and without spatial alignment
- Creating optical auto features, auto focus, working at different zoom levels
- Use and effect of filters (noise, threshold)
- Exposure under control: transmitted light, incident light, Sensi-Light
- Offset calibration between the tactile and the optical sensor
That last point is the heart of multisensor metrology: only once the offset between stylus and camera is properly calibrated do tactile and optical measured values fit together in the same program.
Thanks to the team at Hexagon — and again to Mathias Etter for running it so competently.
The knowledge feeds directly into projects: in optical measurement in house and in creating documented measurement programs on your own machines. Have PC-DMIS measurement programs created →
