Should we do dimensional inspection in casting? What is the benefits of doing dimensional inspection?
To ensure that the finished castings have the necessary overall dimensions, including machining allowances, dimensional inspection is done. To take measurements of the inside dimensions, it could occasionally be necessary to shatter a piece of the casting.
Dimensions Inspection
A dimensional inspection is performed to confirm that the forging or casting are manufactured according to the design drawing that specifies the dimensions and indicates the design tolerances.Benefits of Using 3D Dimensions Inspection: Better Quality in Less Time and at Lower Costs
Utilizing optical metrology in the manufacturing sector can assist lower the prices of scraps and manufacture parts of higher quality while cutting down on inspection time.
Castings and forgings with potential problems, such as insufficient material in crucial places and nonconformities with the CAD file, are easily identified by completing intermediate inspections—before and after machining. As a result, items of higher quality that adhere to the customer’s requirements and fall within the necessary tolerances are produced.The manufacturing sector may immediately detect castings and forgings that lack sufficient material by inspecting them with a portable 3D scanner before and after machining. This reduces the cost of their production because these parts can be redirected and revised before investing in them further.
100% of the surfaces may be inspected in a few of seconds with an acquisition rate of half a million points per second. Additionally, moving the component to the metrology lab for inspection is no longer necessary. By using portable 3D scanners for inspections, more parts can be inspected more quickly and with more data, freeing up CMM time for more important and valued duties like final inspections.
Parts of Better Quality: Castings and forgings with potential problems, such as insufficient material in crucial regions and nonconformities with the CAD file, are easily identified by completing intermediate inspections—before and after machining. As a result, items of higher quality that adhere to the customer’s requirements and fall within the necessary tolerances are produced.
Reduced Production Costs: The manufacturing sector can quickly identify castings and forgings with insufficient material by inspecting them with a portable 3D scanner before and after machining. As a result, the cost of their production is limited because these parts can be redirected and reworked before investing in them further.
Reduced Inspection Time: With a 1/2 million point acquisition rate per second, all surfaces can be examined in a matter of seconds. Additionally, moving the component to the metrology lab for inspection is no longer necessary. By using portable 3D scanners for inspections, more parts can be inspected more quickly and with more data, freeing up CMM time for more important and valued duties like final inspections.The dimensional inspection verifies that a casting component complies with any dimensions specifications or tolerances. This inspection can be carried out manually or with the aid of a coordinate measuring machine (CMM), which takes exact measurements using probes. The most accurate method of measuring the products is with a CMM.
