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 video stage us-
ing video edge detection, but could also be performed
on a video microscope. When the program is run on a
CNC system using temporary fixturing, the user will
measure the datum of the first part, and then all subse-
quent 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 Chapter 5: Measuring. Detailed information
regarding programming is contained in Chapter 8: Programming Chapter 8: Programming.
The QC Quicky slide is shipped with each system
