Method and system for part measurement and verification

A method for part measurement and verification, the method comprising:

• a) Specifying the part with a set of design criteria;
• b) Storing the design criteria in a hand held information processor;
• c) Placing the part in a fixture having gage blocks where the gage blocks are at known locations;
• d) Configuring the hand held information processor to receive part measurements;
• e) Measuring the part with a hand held probe to generate part measurements;
• f) Receiving the generated part measurements in the hand held information processor;
• g) Transforming the generated part measurements to a different reference frame by transforming the generated part measurements to a different coordinate system;
• and
• h) Comparing the transformed part measurements to the design criteria to generate a part verification report.

A method for measuring and verifying a part, the method comprising:

• a) Specifying the part with a set of design criteria in a first reference frame associated with a first coordinate system;
• b) Storing the design criteria in an information processor;
• c) Placing the part in a fixture having gage blocks where the gage blocks are at known locations;
• d) Configuring the information processor to receive part measurements in a second reference frame associated with a second coordinate system;
• e) Measuring the part with a probe to generate part measurements;
• f) Receiving the generated part measurements in the information processor;
• g) Transforming the generated part measurements from the second reference frame to the first reference frame by transforming the generated part measurements from the second coordinate system to the first coordinate system;
• and
• h) Comparing the transformed part measurements to the design criteria to generate a part verification report.

A method for measuring and verifying a part, the method comprising:

• b) Configuring a logic unit to read data from a probe representative of part measurements;
• c) Receiving the probe data;
• d) Generating part measurements from the probe data;
• e) Transforming the part measurements from a first reference frame associated with a first coordinate system to a second reference frame associated with a second coordinate system by transforming the part measurements from the first coordinate system to the second coordinate system;
• and
• f) Comparing the transformed part measurements to the digital representation to verify the part.
