In-Process Measurement and Control

By Stephen Murphy Copyright 1990

    This book attempts to encompass in-process measurement and control holistically as opposed to dealing with the bits and pieces. It discusses various types of sensors and strategies for using the data derived from the sensors in a closed-loop feedback arrangement.

    1. Concepts of In-Process Measurement and Control 2. In-Process Gauging Sensors 3. Laser Telemetric System 4. In-Process Optical Gauging for Numerical Machine Tool Control 5. In-Process Inspection with Air Gauges 6. In-Process Inspection System Using Tool Touch Auditron 7. Sources of Error in Machining Centers and Corrective Techniques 8. Machine Vision Applications in Machining and Forming Processes 9. Fiber Optic Probes for In-Process Control 10. Quality and Automated Process Gauging
