Computer Aided Inspection Process Planning System

The document discusses computer aided inspection planning systems. It describes how inspection planning is an important part of the manufacturing process to determine what characteristics are inspected, when, and where. It then discusses the advantages of on-machine inspection over traditional coordinate measuring machines, such as eliminating non-value added steps, reducing inspection times, and allowing for more proactive quality control. The document outlines different types of computer aided inspection planning systems, including tolerance-driven and geometry-based systems, and how they are integrated with CAD, CAM, and CAPP systems.

Computer Aided Inspection

process planning system


Introduction
• Inspection process planning is integral part of design
and manufacturing activities.
• It determines what characteristics of a product are to
be inspected, where and when?
• Part and product inspection is evolving to be an
important module of integrated manufacturing.
• In today era manufacturer is using in process
inspection to control production and achieve desired
quality rather than means of acceptance or rejection
at the end
• Some of manufacturing methods and sequence
selected during process planning may be more prone
to error and inconsistency due to a large number of
set up or improper choice of datum and reference.

• In conventional quality control system a work piece


machined on a machining centre requires being
moved to a coordinate measuring machine to check
dimension accuracy
Demerit of using Inspection on CMM
• Manual job set up is time consuming process.
• Longer lead times.
• Bottleneck problem arises
• Huge capital investment.
• Time delay in material flow
So overcome of these disadvantage touch trigger
probes allow manufacturer to inspect work piece,
assist job set up, deliver precise components,
minimize scrap and maximize productivity.
Recent trend of inspection planning

• On machine inspection has been widely used


as the preferred measuring equipment for the
purpose of direct inspection
• OMI is process that integrates the design,
machining and inspection aspects of
manufacturing to allow a product to be
inspected and accepted directly on a machine
tool, example is CNC machine tool
Advantage of OMI
• Eliminated the need for expensive inspection
equipments
• Allow to manufacturer to divert resources to
other uses.
• No need inspection fixture.
• Reduce inspection queue time and inspection
time.
• Changing from reactive inspection to proactive
control
• Elimination of non value added operation such as lot
inspection, sampling plans, receiving inspection,
maintaince of gauges and reworking, nonconforming
parts
• Agile manufacturing is developed. I.e quick response
to product design changes

• Some changes will be there like mesuring productivity


in terms of total in process time rather than machining
cycle time.
• Increasingly standardization of discrete
component inspection becomes a ncessity
• To meet the need STEP and STEP- NC standards
have been developed to provide the basis for
standardization and integration of part inspection.
• In this module unified environment is set for the
exchange of information between product design,
machining, process planning and inspection.
CAIP SYSTEMS, OMI and CMM
• Automatic inspection planning for dimensional and
geometric inspection can be high level and low level.
• High Level: it is concerned with the producing a
collection of set ups. Each set up is related to
accessibility of the feature and relative orientation
of the part.
• Low Level: it is primarily addresses the issue of the
point selection, path generation and generation of
executable codes
Types of CAIP
• CAIP is classified in two types
1. Tolerance- driven CAIP systems: one of the
earliest CAIP system developed by Eimaraghy.
It is used the knowledge based approach to
generate inspection task.
Tolerance Set up scope of inspection
●

Feature Datum frames features


●

Surface Measurable surface probe selection


●

Probing points Nominal Points, Probing Points Selection


●

Paths Collision avoidance speeds offsets


●

Machine Motions Machine exist motion ambiguities, machine coordinates


●

Servo Control Coordinate Axis Motion


●
Geometry-Based CAIP Systems
• Geometry Based CAIP systems largely ignore
the tolerance information, but focus on the
geometry-matching between the machined
part and designed shape
• In this module the measured database for a
machined part is obtained and compared to
with cad database.

CAM
Inspection feature selecting and sequencing

Why it is needed ?
• Determination of inspection (Geometry based &
tolerance based) is depend upon skill and
experience of inspection engineer.
• User has to specify the face which is to be
inspected.
Therefore a automatically system will be there for
selecting inspection system directly through cad
data file.
