Checking The Production Process With Trend Analyses

In series production, it is important to ensure the process security of production because every part is supposed to have the exact same quality. That is why it is necessary to continuously monitor whether and to what extent the production process is changing.

ATOS systems with high measuring speed and assured measuring data quality support the monitoring of the production process efficiently. Optical metrology helps to observe how the production deviates over time. Checking parts from series production fully and regularly opens up the following possibilities:

1. Such an inspection shows how the entire surface of serial parts varies. This helps to estimate how stable the production process is.
2. It is possible to analyze trends at every surface point of the part and for every feature, such as whole position or trimming points. In this way, critical developments can be found in time.
3. Any statistic analysis can be carried out for every surface point and feature.
