Abstract
There is described herein an inspection tool for use during the inspection of components as manufactured. The inspection tool allows the comparison of measurement data with nominal data and provides complementary information with regards to at least one feature of the component.
Claims14
A computer-implemented method for inspecting a manufactured component to be assembled with other components, the method comprising:
- receiving measurement data for the manufactured component as measured on the manufactured component;
- comparing the measurement data to tolerance data for at least one feature of the manufactured component and determining a pass/fail status based on the comparison, wherein measurement data within the tolerance data obtains a pass status and measurement data outside of the tolerance data obtains a fail status;
- for a fail status, identifying an impact resulting from assembling the manufactured component having a fail status with the other components by considering an interaction of the manufactured component with the other components in an assembly;
- displaying the pass/fail status for each one of the at least one feature and displaying the impact associated with the fail status;
- and
- displaying a graphical representation of the measurement data on an image of the component by modifying a scale of the measurement data to correspond to a scale of the component on the image and tracing lines on the image to represent the measurement data.
3 more elements
A system for inspecting a manufactured component to be assembled with other components, the system comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor;
- and
- at least one application stored in the memory and executable by the processor for:
- receiving measurement data for the manufactured component as measured on the manufactured component;
- comparing the measurement data to tolerance data for at least one feature of the manufactured component and determining a pass/fail status based on the comparison, wherein measurement data within the tolerance data obtains a pass status and measurement data outside of the tolerance data obtains a fail status;
- for a fail status, identifying an impact resulting from assembling the manufactured component having a fail status with the other components by considering an interaction of the manufactured component with the other components in an assembly;
- displaying the pass/fail status for each one of the at least one feature and displaying the impact associated with the fail status;
- and
- displaying a graphical representation of the measurement data on an image of the component by modifying a scale of the measurement data to correspond to a scale of the component on the image and tracing lines on the image to represent the measurement data.
