The lack of usage of 3D surface metrology scanners for in-line process control can be attributed to the large processing time of metrology equipment compared to the cycle time of automotive assembly systems.
Such operations as the addition of sulfur dioxide, heating (wherever beneficial), and polishing filtration are usually accomplished by a continuous in-line process.
As a result, transformation of polymorph was successfully monitored by ultrasonic velocity in-line process.
This contribution presents a strategy to maximize sampling frequency while maintaining a high SNR during in-line process monitoring.
The optimal design of sensor location and setup is essential to ensure the accuracy and precision of in-line process monitoring of water/moisture content.
In addition to the in-line process data, critical granule and tablet quality properties (such as particle size, porosity and tablet hardness) were measured in order to achieve in-depth process understanding.
3D surface metrology scanners are primarily used for surface reconstruction in reverse engineering and for off-line inspection of parts but, their application potential for in-line process control remains largely unexplored.
The fast, broadly applicable and non-invasive character of this technique can therefore promote its application for quickly and reliably assessing the degree of adhesion of graphene transferred onto target substrates, either for ex-post evaluation or in-line process monitoring.
Considering the low level of mercury in the candidate certified reference material, in-line process control was considered essential and the filling procedure was continuously checked for signs of contamination.
The combination of geometry, acquisition parameters and geological complexity of the area required specific processing techniques to produce a stacked section that could be correlated with the two in-line processed seismic profiles.
Terahertz in-line coating process measurements show considerable potential for applications in real-time release, process analytical technology and quality by design.
