Abstract
A method includes receiving three-dimensional (3D) measurement data based on a measurement of a first used component of a particular component type. The method also includes performing a comparison of the 3D measurement data to in-service tolerances associated with the particular component type, the in-service tolerances determined based on a measurement of at least a second used component of the particular component type and an evaluation of structural characteristics of the second used component. The method further includes generating, based on the comparison, an output indicating whether the first used component is acceptable for reuse.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving three-dimensional (3D) measurement data based on a measurement of a first used component of a particular component type;
- performing a comparison of the 3D measurement data to in-service tolerances associated with the particular component type, the in-service tolerances determined based on a measurement of at least a second used component of the particular component type and an evaluation of structural characteristics of the second used component;
- and
- generating, based on the comparison, an output indicating whether the first used component is acceptable for reuse.
A system comprising:
- a three-dimensional measuring device configured to generate three-dimensional (3D) measurement data based on a measuring a first used component of a particular component type;
- and
- a computing device configured to:
- perform a comparison of the 3D measurement data to in-service tolerances associated with the particular component type, the in-service tolerances determined based on measurement of at least a second used component of the particular component type and evaluation of structural characteristics of the second used component;
- and
- generate, based on the comparison, an output indicating whether the first used component is acceptable for reuse.
A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- receive three-dimensional (3D) measurement data based on a measurement of a first used component of a particular component type;
- perform a comparison of the 3D measurement data to in-service tolerances associated with the particular component type, the in-service tolerances determined based on measurement of at least a second used component of the particular component type and evaluation of structural characteristics of the second used component;
- and
- generate, based on the comparison, an output indicating whether the first used component is acceptable for reuse.
