Manufacturing Quality Pack Machining Corrector

Machining Corrector

Get compliant parts faster

Machining Corrector closes the loop between inspection data and CNC corrections.

In most machine shops, CNC corrections are still based on operator judgment — not data.

In most machine shops, CNC corrections are still based on operator judgment — not data.

Someone estimates how much to adjust the offset — based on experience, intuition, and trial runs.

Each iteration costs machine time, consumes material, and delays delivery.

The tighter the tolerances, the longer the loop.

The root problem: the correction is disconnected from the measurement. There's no automatic path from inspection data to offset values.

Machining Corrector — Metrolog CMM Software — Metrologic DCS

Animation illustrating the Machining Corrector module in Metrolog. A milling tool traverses a mechanical part; two gear-shaped overlay icons indicate real-time correction of machining deviations. Metrologic DCS CMM measurement software automatically compensates for machining errors during inspection.

Correct

Get the exact correction

Machining Corrector reads your inspection results, computes the correction, and outputs the exact values to apply to your CNC offsets.

  • No manual calculation
  • No interpretation gap
  • No validation run

Every correction is data-driven

No more guesswork

Every offset is calculated from inspection data — not estimated from experience.

React instantly

Load the inspection report, apply the correction, run the next part. No wait time, no extra step.

Predict the result before the cut

Predictive Mode shows you what the corrected part will measure — before you start the machine.

Full traceability, zero extra work

Every correction is logged with its inspection data. Audit trail built in, automatically.

Predictive Mode

Simulate the corrected part before you run it.

Predictive Mode takes the current inspection result and applies the computed correction virtually — showing you what the next part will measure before you start the machine.

Confirm the correction is right. Catch residual errors. Eliminate the verification run.

Three steps inside Metrolog. No spreadsheet, no manual math.

1

Open Machining Corrector from the Metrolog menu

Access directly from Metrolog: Machining → Machining Corrector. The module loads your current part environment — geometry, datums, coordinate system — with no additional configuration required.

2

Evaluate the machining operation

Select your reference features and measured surfaces in the Evaluate Machining Operation dialog. Machining Corrector analyses the measured deviations and computes the 6-DOF transformation required to bring the part back into tolerance.

3

Read the corrections table and update CNC offsets

The corrections table gives you the exact offset values — X, Y, Z, and rotations — to enter into your CNC controller. Each value is tied to the inspection result that generated it. Apply, re-run, confirm. The loop is closed.

See it on a real CNC correction.

Watch how a CNC programmer loads an inspection report, runs Machining Corrector, and outputs the offset correction table — without leaving Metrolog.

Built for the people who run the machine
and the ones who define how.

CNC Operator

You run the machine. Machining Corrector gives you the exact offset values to enter directly from the inspection report — no manual calculation, no interpretation, no guesswork. You apply, run, confirm. That’s it.

Process Engineer

You define the machining strategy. Machining Corrector gives you measured data to tune it — and Predictive Mode lets you validate the impact of each adjustment before committing to a new run. Faster convergence. Fewer surprises.

Stop correcting by hand Start correcting by data

See Machining Corrector on your own parts — 30 minutes, no commitment.

Powered by Metrolog

Already part of your Metrolog environment.

Machining Corrector runs inside Metrolog — it shares the same part geometry, the same datum framework, and the same inspection logic you already use. No additional tool to learn, no file export, no parallel environment.

Available as a bundle licence within the Manufacturing Quality Pack. If you already use Metrolog, your upgrade path is shorter than you think.

Machining Corrector is one piece of the loop.

The Manufacturing Quality Pack connects three capabilities into one continuous workflow. Each works standalone — and works better together.

ANTICIPATE

Deformation Simulator

Validate your tolerance strategy before the first chip is cut. Apply realistic geometric defects on your CAD model and run GD&T inspection virtually — inside Metrolog.

UNDERSTAND

Decomposition Analyzer

Break down any deviation into form, size, orientation, and position — in one click, in 3D, directly on the part geometry. Based on ISO 20170.
