Reporting software QUINDOS

programmingCADmeasurement

Overview
Hexagon QUINDOS is modular metrology software for special geometries, designed to program, inspect and evaluate gears, blades, screw compressors, camshafts and other complex components within a CAD-based CMM environment.

Key capabilities

• CAD-enabled programming: CAD-based environment to create, visualise and control complex measurement tasks for high-accuracy inspection.
• PMI-driven automation: Uses PMI from 3D CAD models to automate program creation and accelerate inspection planning.
• Offline programming with digital twin: Integration with I++ Simulator for offline program development, collision avoidance and reduced machine downtime.
• Standards-compliant GD&T analysis: Advanced geometric dimensioning and tolerancing evaluations with reporting aligned to international and industry standards.
• Powerful reporting and analytics: Customisable reports with numerical and graphical outputs, traceability and SPC integration for process monitoring.

Add-on modules

• Special geometry modules: Dedicated modules for gears, turbines, blades, rotors and other components with specific evaluation standards.
• Solution-specific modules: Extensions for advanced measurement and evaluation workflows.
• I++ Simulator: Digital twin offline programming environment to build, test and validate CMM programs on a virtual machine.

Product use cases

• Inspect prismatic parts: Flexible CMM programming supporting automated routines, GD&T analysis and process control.
• Inspect freeform components: Capture complex 3D surfaces (sheet metal, automotive body parts) and compare results to CAD and GD&T requirements.
• Inspect complex geometries: High-accuracy inspection of gears, turbine blades and camshafts using CAD-based programming and advanced analysis.

Why QUINDOS?
Supports major international measurement standards and ensures consistency and traceability across production and supply chains. Backwards compatibility protects existing programs and the software supports a wide range of tactile, optical and multi-sensor systems to enable a single platform across diverse inspection equipment.

What's new in QUINDOS 2026.1

• CMM Check 3.0 test gauge: Standard-compliant monitoring and interim testing workflow integrated into QUINDOS.
• Faster setup with improved high-speed scanning (VHS): Create scan paths on CAD geometries, new point types and background automation for scan parameters.
• CNC-compatible CAD programming with rotary table support: Generate measurement points with fixed or variable rotary positions in one step for multi-axis tasks.
• Smarter geometry handling with guided grouping: Guided selection, automatic unique naming and prevention of duplication within CAD structures.
• Advanced motion control with circular path support: Circular clearance movements and spiral transitions for machines capable of circular motion.
• Enhanced gear and drivetrain analysis: New radial runout evaluations, detailed tooth thickness analysis and support for cylindrical worm linear tip relief analysis.
