Applications in engineering manufacture, such as dimensional inspection, often require triangulation of large sets of measured 3D data.
Dimensional inspection is one of most critical procedures during the manufacturing process for controlling the quality of products.
To achieve the surface sample height information of high temperature steel product sample, a three dimensional inspection system for static object is designed in this paper.
Different proposals have been presented along last years with the purpose of automating the process of dimensional inspection planning with coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and touch probe technology.
This paper proposes a solution to integrate the dimensional inspection process with coordinate measuring machines with the design and manufacturing processes.
Product dimensional inspection is set as one of the essential parts of the production process, where not only product quality test is checked but also its interaction with other development stages in a minimal time.
Up to date, dimensional inspection activities have not been deeply analysed, possibly due to the fact that, their work influences are smaller than others, such us numerical analysis, materials or numerical control.
For this aim, it is necessary, as it occurs in the STEP framework, to develop an application context that includes all dimensional inspection aspects, from the geometrical and measurement aspects to those related to administration and configuration product data.
However, the integration of dimensional inspection is very important for several reasons: the need of specifying the design and planning of the inspection process from the conceptual part design; the increase of use of high speed coordinate measuring machine (CMM) in the production lines; and finally, for the interest of a feedback between data inspection and manufacturing processes.
Do a search for laser measuring system, dimensional inspection, etc. Do your comparison-shopping.
