Problem-Solving Materials Productivity Improvement Edition 1-1 | In-Process Inspection of Machining
How to incorporate inspection processes into machining operations? A resource for identifying and solving issues in production sites.
This document is a series that proposes solutions to various challenges faced in production sites, from identifying issues to finding resolutions. In the "Productivity Improvement Edition," we offer solutions aimed at enhancing productivity by streamlining various manufacturing processes and reducing man-hours and costs. In Vol. 1-1, we will address the challenges of incorporating inspection processes into machining operations. [Document Overview] The most well-known inspection method after machining is "on-machine measurement." Since it allows for measurement without removing the workpiece from the machine, it can reduce the man-hours associated with transportation and setup. The typical method is the probe type, but some may have concerns such as: - Is it difficult to achieve the required precision for inspection? - Are there workpieces that cannot be inspected at all? However, on-machine measurement is not limited to probe types. By understanding the various methods and characteristics of on-machine measurement, you can choose a method that suits your company's situation. In this document, we will introduce two methods and their features of on-machine measurement. *You can download the document using the button below.
