NPI Measurement Hardware Adive

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

  • It's looking extremely likely that we'll be going with an OGP or optical hardware. Trouble is that we need a backup in case the hardware breaks. This is where I'm struggling. Was thinking maybe just a full scale drawing that you just fit to best fit? Can anybody suggest anything? Please see the (poorly) drawn attached jpeg. I'm also assuming the profile is basically done to a best fit of all the holes?

    I've always been at companies with an inspection process in place (i.e. CMMs). What do you need to do to prove that a new inspection system works to your customer? Gauge RR? Correlation to a CMM?
