IMTS 2022 Conference: Connected Systems to Deliver Predicted Outcomes

About the presentation
In conventional part manufacturing, quality control is carried out randomly. Only a few parts are inspected. This method is used due to the longer measuring times in comparison to the actual production time and limited overall measuring capacity to cope with increased inspection demands. To guarantee process reliability, statistics are used to validate the process, but this method results in a significant reduction of manufacturing tolerance compared to drawing tolerance. In addition, increasing technical requirements of end products and changing consumer expectations for performance, for example in new e-vehicles, results in very tight tolerances on parts in these products. Relying on statistical evaluation makes the production of these parts even more challenging and expensive. This presentation reviews automated concepts for manufacturing challenging parts such as gears. Using surveillance metrology for inline inspection opens new possibilities for process control.
