The coordinate measuring machines, essential tools for quality control of dimensional and geometrical specifications of technical components, in the context of the industry 4.0

摘要

The industry, as part of the economy, focuses its activity on the production of technical parts which are highly mechanized using sophisticated and automated machines. Over the years, the ability to innovate has proved to be an important factor in industrial development, especially in technological development in line with different requirements of the industry and the efficiency of production processes, reflecting in the quality improvements of the technical components produced. For control of dimensional and geometrical requirements of the technical components, companies use the 3D coordinate measuring machines. These sophisticated measuring machines follow the effectiveness of the latest production systems according to the requirements of industry 4.0, using information technology that promotes quick and easy inspections with large data acquisition, which facilitates the interaction of the entire production process. This paper aims to give an overview of the importance of the measuring processes, using coordinate measuring machines, the large data acquisition of the dimensional and geometrical characteristics, how to export this data to the production machines in order to correct the machine parameters and to obtain technical components in accordance with the technical requirements.
