dimensions. The inspection device uses several multiplexed sensors, each composed of a camera
and a structured light source, to measure all sides of the object in a single pass.
BENEFITS OF CAI
The CAI process saves both time and money.
The computer software processes data from a 3-D point cloud from a laser scanner,
eliminating the need for slower and more time-consuming CMM measurements.
Inspecting with CMMs requires that designers create a 2-D drawing in addition to the
3-D CAD model of a part. The drawing is used to inspect the part at specific locations
to verify that it matches the design. Point-cloud data is taken from a laser scanner or
other 3-D scanning device. The software provides a graphical comparison of the
manufactured part compared to the CAD model.
By producing point clouds of the entire part, measurement of the part can be done
everywhere and not be limited to the specific locations on a drawing.
COMPUTER AIDED QUALITY CONTROL
Computer Aided Inspection (CAI) & Computer Aided Testing (CAT) are performed
automatically using the latest computer & sensor technology. CAI & CAT methods from only
part of Computer Aided Quality Control (CAQC). CAI & CAT are example of what have been
called Island of Automation.
The implications of the use of computer aided quality control are important. The automated
methods of CAQC will result in significant changes from the traditional concepts & methods
describe above.
The following list will summarize the important effects likely to result from CAQC.
1)
With CAI & CAT, inspection & testing will typically be accomplish on a 100% basis
Inspection during production will be integrated into manufacturing process rather than
requiring that the part to be taken to some inspection area. This will reduce the elapsed time to a
complete the part.
3)
The use of non contact sensor will become much more widely used with CAI.
4)
Because of 100% inspection & online quality control system will become prevalent; a
