InnovMetric partners with Aberlink for CMM software
Summary
InnovMetric has entered a partnership with Aberlink to integrate PolyWorks|Inspector software with Aberlink CMM hardware and Deva machine controls. The agreement is designed to streamline inspection workflow setup and measurement data analysis for shops running Aberlink coordinate measuring machines. This gives Aberlink users direct access to PolyWorks|Inspector's dimensional analysis and reporting capabilities within their existing CMM environment.
Why It Matters
For metrology departments running Aberlink CMMs, this integration removes a significant friction point: the need to operate disconnected software stacks for machine control and dimensional analysis. PolyWorks|Inspector is a well-established platform in multi-sensor and complex part inspection, so shops that previously faced compatibility gaps between Aberlink hardware and enterprise-level inspection software now have a supported, native path forward. From an operations standpoint, tighter software-hardware integration typically reduces programming time, lowers the risk of data translation errors between systems, and can accelerate first-article inspection cycles. For quality managers evaluating CMM investments, a validated software partnership also reduces long-term support risk — a practical consideration when justifying capital equipment purchases to finance teams.
