Development of Dimensional Measurement Methods with a 3D Measuring Device without Using a Checking Fixture
Researchers used a 3D measuring device to assess the quality of complex automobile parts without a checking fixture.
The study aimed to compare the dimensional quality of parts measured with and without a fixture. Researchers used virtual fixing and metrology methods with a 3D measurement device to assess the parts. The goal was to reduce the time and budget consumed by traditional fixtures.
Abstract
Present time’s cutting edge sheet metal forming capabilities have created opportunity to the manufacturing of automobile parts that have complex geometries. An equipment that defined as a fixture is needed in order to obtain quality status of parts which had high deformation strain before welding joint process. Fixtures are time and budget consuming equipment. Automobile sheet metal parts can be measured by 3D measurement devices. In this study, dimensional quality of parts is assessed and compared either fixture or fixtureless by methods of virtual fixing and metrology.
