Quick Start Demonstration
This chapter demonstrates the operation of the QC5200 system. The demonstration is provided as a means
of quickly getting experienced operators started using the system. This material will be most helpful if you
perform the measurements and other activities as you follow along with this demonstration.
The demonstration will measure the Metronics QC Quickie slide part skew and datum, measure some part
features, apply a few tolerances, export results data as a comma separated variable (csv) file and print a
tolerance report. These activities will be recorded as a program and saved as a part file.
Measurements will be performed on a CNC com-
parator using optical edge detection, but could also
be performed on a manual comparator system using
crosshairs. When the program is run on a CNC sys-
tem using temporary fixturing, the user will measure
the datum of the first part, and then all subsequent
measurements will be completed by the system as the
stage is repeatedly positioned and the required points
are automatically probed. When the program is run on a manual system, the series of required points will
be indicated by a blinking green dot that moves over the part outline in the Part View window. The user
need only probe locations indicated by the dot to complete measurements.
Detailed information regarding measuring is contained in Chapter 5: Measuring. Detailed information
regarding programming is contained in Chapter 8: Programming.
The QC Quicky slide is shipped with each system
