NPI Measurement Hardware Adive

Ben1989
Hi all,

Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year!

I'm writing as I'm seeking metrology advice for products that will quickly go through our aerospace shop.

The products are simple, flat, relatively thin composite components. It will be an in-process measurement where only two dimensions need measuring; profile and hole true position.

If you refer to the very rough drawing I've attached. The component's thickness can simply be measured with a vernier.

At the moment I'm thinking of a Romer Arm but I'm wondering if there's anything out there where you can simply throw the component onto a surface and automatically be measured.

Hope I've described what I'm working with well and is understood Slight smile

Cheers, Ben

  • A touch trigger CMM (like a romer) is not always the best tool for the job. I recommended the OGP as well as OPTIV because they're non-contact vision systems. If all you're doing is measuring diameters and profiles and stuff then a vision system should do the trick.

    OGPs are pretty easy to learn & are a lot cheaper but Measuremind or whatever the software is called isn't nearly as powerful as PC DMIS.

    Side note: And please don't take this the wrong way....Anyone who thinks they can throw a part on a table and have the machine do some voodo and measure the part all by itself needs should be careful calling themselves "cmm based". You might incorrectly give someone the impression that you know what you're talking about!
