Assessment of the Production Quality in Machining by Integrating a System of High Precision Measurement

Abstract

The development activities in machining are targeted towards improvement of the quality of the end product as well as the appearance and surface finish for geometric and work accuracy. The present work proposes a step-by-step integrated metrology scheme for evaluation of the machine tool structure before, during and after machining that affect the cutting processes. The techniques of high precision measurement are considered as realistic evaluation of the system process accuracy in compliant with the international standards of the geometrical product specification and quality. Hence, both contact and optical measurement techniques are proposed as an application for the machining industry to assess precision and quality.
