WHAT IS DIMENSIONAL MANAGEMENT ANDPRODUCTION ENGINEERING METROLOGY?
Our definition is:
The applied science of reliable geometrical assurance, geometricalcontrol and geometrical metrology in research and in the product
realization process.
“From raw material to complete aircraft”

Compliant tolerance analysis: Rigid body analysis v.s. non rigid body analysis:
ü According to our studies, there are cases of simulations where non-rigid body analysiscould and should be applied. (Composite manufacturing, sheet metal manufacturing,and in some cases in metrology planning applications)
ü Typically cases is where elastic parts such as sheet metal parts are used.ü However we could ”work around” those non rigid issues only using conventional
rigid body analysis without compromising the result.ü To simulate non rigid bodies leads to other negative consequences and disadvantages
such as increased complexity, considerably longer times for simulations, increasedlicense fees, educational needs etc.
Conclusions:We have not found any particular simulation cases where the need for non rigid bodysimulation considers the disadvantages, as mentioned above.

TREND:SCANNING - WHY SHOULD WE IMPLEMENT AND SCAN MORE?
Recent benchmark and internal casestudy:
Facts:
üLaserscanning compared to discrete pointmeasurements (lasertracker v.s.Photogrammetry)
üApplication: Manual measurement andinspection of Ailerons using 3D portablecoordinate measuring machines
üHigh production ratesà Minimize the timefor measurement and inspection
üEquipment used: Absolute Tracker 901 withT-Scan 5 and Spatial Analyzer(measurement software)

TODAYS SOLUTION – PHOTOGRAMMETRY SYSTEM
ü One Metronor DUO photogrammetry (stereo camerabased technique) system and Powerinspectmeasurement software is used.
ü The purpose is to measure, extract and filtering out 280measurement datapoints, and use advanced best-fitcalculations

LASERSCANNING SOLUTION
ü The measurement software Spatial Analyzer extracted thepoints of interest from the point cloud, did a relationship fitting(different tolerance on different points).The fixture was not ideal for the scanner so T-Probe was usedin some areas.
ü If the measurement fixture is changed so only the T-Scan isused and a Measurement Plan is created in the measurementsoftware, the measurement and inspection could be performed6 to 8 times faster than the old photogrammetry method.
Conclusion:
ü The current software has limitations in performing a bestfitcalculation, using different tolerances and weightening ondifferent points and on different surfaces. It is also more timeconsuming (6-8 times) to extract 280 measurement datapointscompared to using laserscanning

LEVEL OF METROLOGY AUTOMATION?
Trend: Going from manual measurements to more fully automated and in-linemetrology systems. ”Measure at the source”
Where should one measure?
• To measure in confined and environmental controled spaces or
• To measure in non confined and non environmentally controled spaces,ref. ISO 1 – reference temperature 20 °C, such as:‒ In-line, in-process and in close range to the machine tools in part
manufacturing or at the jigs, fixtures and automation cells in airframeassembly?

TREND:DATA MANAGEMENT / SPC - THE SAAB WAY
19
Concentrate on the geometricalfeatures rather than the specific part.
Store as a virtual features, geometrical“phantom features”
Virtual parts are a part with onefeature for example a hole.
That virtual part collects thehole data from a number ofphysical parts produced in oneand the same machine tool.
