Quick Start Demonstration
This chapter demonstrates the operation of the QC-300 system. The demonstration is provided as a means
of quickly helping experienced operators to use the system. This demonstration will be most helpful if you
perform the measurements and other activities as you follow along.
The demonstration will use the Metronics QC Quickie slide to create a part skew and datum, measure some
part features, apply a few tolerances, print a tolerance report and save all these activities as a program that
can be recalled and run again later.
When the program is run on manual or CNC systems,
the series of required points will be indicated by a green
arrow that moves over the part outline in the Part View
or Video window. For manual systems, the user need
only probe locations indicated by the arrow to complete
measurements. For CNC systems, the measurements are
performed automatically.
The demonstration will show measurements being per-
formed on a video stage using a video edge detection
probe. However, the same measurements could also be performed on a microscope or comparator using
crosshairs.
Detailed information regarding datuming and measuring is contained in Chapter 6: Measuring. Informa-
tion regarding tolerancing is contained in Chapter 7: Tolerancing. Report printing is discussed in Chapter
10: Communication. Information regarding programming is contained in Chapter 8: Programming.
The QC Quickie slide is shipped with each system
