Computers & Industrial Engineering, 1993

In today's competitive marketplace, It has become apparent that Improvements In current manufacturing techniques and philosophies must take place. These changes should encompass Increased productivity and improved quality. One way in which to obtaln these standards lies within the theory of computer Integrated manufacturing and Its ties to quality process control. Thls Idea must begin with the creation of a system that encompasses the framework for a ClM system. In order to produce such a system, an

This paper presents an approach for the automated inspection and quality control of manufactured parts from a remote site. A web-based control system was developed to establish communication among the various components of the experimental manufacturing cell, consisting of an IBM 7535 robot, a measuring station and a part feed station. The various cell components are interfaced with the computer through digital and analog interface modules from National Instruments and is controlled using a graphical programming language called LabVIEW. A dedicated web page was developed for the cell that allows remote users to perform online quality tests. Details pertaining to the cell and the control architecture developed to automate the quality control task are presented in this paper. The feasibility of providing non-site based hands-on engineering and technology education is also explored through this project. I.

Manufacturing processes for markets that involve high levels of customization are inherently exposed to unpredictable and often inconsistent demands. The use of statistical methods for controlling quality in these environments is not suitable. The implementation of 100% inspection would guarantee high levels of quality but involves high inspection costs, whereas 0% inspection is associated with high throughputs without being able to guarantee the outgoing quality of products. This research used the Expected Value Formula to provide a model that determined whether an inspection station should be activated or not. The modeldecision depended on specified parameters such as the internal, external and appraisal costs as well as the significance of the inspected feature. The overall profits and Cost of Quality metric were used to analyse the system performance and compare the model-based inspection criteria to the 100% and 0% inspection strategies, using simulations performed in Labview. ...

Companies have developed various systems to improve their processes. These processes' focus has been to produce more quantity in less time. To accomplish this task, it is important to also consider defects. Defective products can cause delays in the production line, rework, and the loss of money, time, and resources. This project focused on developing an integrated inspection system. Previous research has been done regarding types of vision systems, in-line inspections, and feedback data collection. A programmable logic controller (PLC) was used to control when the conveyor belt starts and stops. When the object has reached a certain position, the camera detects if the object passed or failed the process. If the object fails, the robot will pick up the bottle and take it out of the line. Human-machine interface (HMI) was also integrated, which shows how many bottles have passed and failed with a light that will indicate if a certain object has passed or failed. Feedback from the inspection process can help solve potential issues from different machines and processes. The testbed was designed, integrated, and tested in the paper to perform a feedback analysis for the production line. The setup consisted of MicroLogix PLC, Fanuc robot LR Mate 200iD and Cognex camera.

This case study arises from the need to make more robust and effective quality assurance procedures of the products by automating the final inspection process. The case study explains how the automation of the inspection process was performed in a company from the automotive sector. Knowledge, involvement and commitment of operators and respective managers should not be neglected because their reaction against the change procedures influence the success of any automation performed. The successful introduction of automation contributed to a more efficient process and from the pilot station to the remaining stations problem solving and continuous improvement was evidenced.

This article mainly studies the path planning of part manufacturing quality inspection based on models. Therefore, this paper optimizes the inspection path planning by combining the deep learning of the BP neural network in the neural network model, then improves the recognition efficiency of parts with various shapes through the collection of surface point information, and then combines the basic principles of model inspection and quality control principles to improve the accuracy of quality inspection. In order to better design this optimal path, this paper also designs welding basic formation parameter experiments and robustness analysis experiments to verify the influencing factors of the welding process and the specific results of image processing; this paper also designed the part outer diameter quality inspection test analysis to verify the accuracy and coverage of model-based part manufacturing quality inspection. The results obtained through the collection of experiments ar...

In discrete part production with CNC machine tools it is becoming more prevalent to use process control to close the manufacturing feedback loop by integrating design, manufacturing and inspection. Review of the literature suggested that coordinate measuring machine and on-machine measurement are two most common inspection techniques adopted by industry in CNC manufacturing systems. This paper presents a systematic approach to compare the capabilities of two most common computerised inspection techniques namely, On-Machine-Measurement and Coordinate Measuring Machine in a typical CNC manufacturing enterprise. In addition, in order to close the CNC manufacturing feedback loop, the requirements of each technique have been identified.

The significance of inspection processes increases when producing parts with high levels of customer input. These processes must adapt to variations in significant product characteristics. Mass customisation and reconfigurable manufacturing are currently being researched as ways to respond to high levels of customer input. This paper presents the research and development of modular inspection equipment that was designed to meet the on-line quality requirements of mass customisation and reconfigurable manufacturing environments. Simulated results were analysed for application in an industrial environment. The implementation of the equipment in South Africa is briefly discussed. The research indicates that manufacturers need only invest in the required equipment configurations when they are needed for on-line inspection.
