Automated Inspection for Flexible Machining Systems

Abstract

Automated inspection is a broad classification of techniques which can, without the aid of human intervention or interpretation, determine whether or not a manufactured part or manufacturing process has characteristics which meet predetermined limits or criteria. These criteria can be shape, weight, size, hardness, or surface finish to a name a few. Recent improvements in electronic sensing, instrumentation, vision signal and image processing, data logging, software, and computer control of machining operations have expanded the opportunities for expanding the use of automated inspection in flexible machining systems.
