QUINDOS 2022.1 is the latest release of Hexagon’s world-leading metrology software for special geometries used for powertrains in aerospace, energy, automotive, and engineering industries.
QUINDOS is a trusted partner due to its backward compatibility and provides an extensive range of modules developed for complex projects. Trusted by leading manufacturers for its versatility and flexibility, QUINDOS’ structured programming tools enable quality professionals to build highly accurate inspection routines on a range of UHA CMMs.
The latest QUINDOS release delivers a major upgrade to the user interface. With dark and light theme options to choose from, the updated UI harmonises the look and feel with Hexagon’ extensive portfolio of Metrology and Production applications. The user experience will feel familiar to anyone used to working with Hexagon’s software. It not only looks great, but it’s also much more intuitive. The user experience has been overhauled to simplify programming of complex measurement routines. An integrated control panel guides the user through common tasks and requests inputs where necessary to reduce set up and programming time. The new UI update includes:
QUINDOS also expands its Lense analysis capabilities to include Symmetrical Lenses. The updated option now covers all rotationally symmetrical lenses. Measurements are carried out using centred scans similar to a spiderweb, thus ensuring efficient measurement of the lens. The scope of the measurement – both the area on the lens and the number of scans – can be configured in the dialogue, designed in the same familiar style as the QUINDOS layout for special geometries. A new integrated user guide has also been added to help users configure new routines quickly.
For gear applications requiring the highest accuracy, the new Pitch Calibration Module can be used to determine the pitch error of gears, the rotary table and the coordinate measuring machine. The result is improved measurement uncertainty of the pitch measurement of cylindrical gears.
Available for use with Hexagon’s Leitz CMMs, the new Non-Contact Chromatic HP-OW White Light sensors are designed for high-precision inspection of applications made from transparent materials such as glass and plastic. Thanks to the new integration, QUINDOS can now inspect contactless in a wider range of fields with the highest precision. The HP-OW sensors perform with the Articulating Probe Head HH-AS8-OWT2.5 which allows for 12.240 indexable positions.
The new connectivity allows QUINDOS users to enjoy the benefits of centralised reporting and gain insights into part status. HxGN Metrology Reporting is cloud-based, fits in easily with production workflows and can be accessed anywhere. Measurement reports, evaluations and information from the QUINDOS inspection plan are now available through HxGN Metrology Reporting. In addition to the measurement reports and plots in PDF format, additional data can be easily transferred in the form of CSV and TXT files.

QUINDOS 2022.1 also includes various improvements and fixes for the core and individual QUINDOS modules.

QUINDOS CMM Test - ISO 10360 provides the new DIN EN ISO 10360-5:2020-11 for the acceptance test.
With version 2022.1 new form plots were integrated. These are now supplemented by the new curve plot.
It has the same harmonized layout incl. handling and information output. Information of the performed best fit can be provided optionally.
The Pratt & Withney K-Chart evaluation scc. standard DCS 209 is supported with the module for cylindrical gearing. The K-Chart tangents to the trace inside a defined reference zone instead of the whole trace.
Additional colouring on the plot shows out of upper or lower tolerance.
For Feature ‘Converting drawing information to PMIs via OCR’
Features user-defined PMIs for fast interactive automated programming of the inspection plan:
QUINDOS 2022.1 runs on 64-bit Windows® 10.
The minimum requirement is Windows® 10 Version 1909.
The recommended version is Windows® 10 Version 2004.
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.1 for Windows is required. The QUINDOS installer will install it for you.
We recommend the following hardware configuration when using the QUINDOS software package including CAD options and when using QUINDOS with the QUINDOS Reshaper option or the I++Simulator software package:
We recommend a second TFT-Monitor when using CAD functionalities and when using QUINDOS with the QUINDOS Reshaper option or the environment I++Simulator.
A second network interface card is required for communication with the measuring machine.
Please check whether or not a serial interface is required for connecting to your measuring device. This may be the case on older measuring machines.
Please also note the information in the Release Notes of the QUINDOS Release Version 2022.1.
We recommend purchasing a current Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) in order to avail of the newest QUINDOS functions and latest updates.
Please note, a valid software license agreement is required to use this version.
2022.1 can be used with a valid SMA contract dates from (and including) 30 June 2020.
The SMA end date is checked during the installation process.
QUINDOS 2022.1 contains numerous improvements and fixes in the basic package and individual QUINDOS modules. Contact your local Hexagon branch or dealer for further information.
The SMA also enables ongoing access to technical Support and Service.
