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

  • I am CMM based. I explained to him obviously that the part requires a datum reference system established etc. I'm talking more from a 'manual alignment' point of view. For holes and profile I think a CMM would be too slow for our production rate requirements. Because they're thin it will be difficult to measure on a CMM that's why I was looking for something optically/non-contact.

    My description of 'throw on a table' was probably the wrong way to describe.

    I recently had a demo of an OGP and I'm quite impressed. They have a CAD-based software now called 'Zone 3' which has desperately been missing. The reason for my attraction towards OGP is that they specialise in optics. The Optiv is great but just another string to their non-CMM bow. They don't even take it to shows anymore.
