MCOSMOS vs. Metrology.NET vs. TANGRAM vs. autoMinder Comparison Chart

MCOSMOS is Mitutoyo’s proprietary metrology suite of interrelated modules and dedicated expansion modules for Microsoft Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 operating systems (32- or 64-bit). Available in 37 countries and 12 different languages, MCOSMOS sets the world’s standard for metrology software. MCOSMOS allows for integration among a whole series of applications, improving the efficiency of your CMM and bringing greater productivity to your quality control functions. Expansion modules such as GEOPAK are available for specific applications including gear measurement, airfoil analysis, reverse engineering, and integrating CAD with metrology. The modular MCOSMOS system gives you the ability to tailor your measuring software so that it includes only the specific modules needed to meet requirements. Measurement results may be displayed, printed, and archived with numerous built-in and user-defined formats.

A very capable, flexible, and yet intuitive metrology software, TANGRAM offers a totally graphical approach with no need to learn any complex programming language and fits each customer's need perfectly. TANGRAM is developed for users who need simple, economical, easy-to-use metrology software that does only what they need. TANGRAM offers the correct balance of functionality, usability, and performance and is the final piece of the flexible gauging solution and of CMM functionality. Graphical, in-line element reporting easing element form and position deviation evaluation. Simplified and advanced reference system creation. Measurements may be stored in an Access database, and thus be accessed by any application for special calculations, statistics, and integration to other applications. Special calculations may be added with a Pascal-like inner language for advanced users. Geometric tolerancing and relations between elements and dry-run mode for checking program flow.
