Abstract

The productivity rate of a manufacturing process is limited by the speed of any measurement processes at the quality control stage. Fast and effective in-line measurements are required to overcome this limitation. Optical instruments are the most promising methods for in-line measurement because they are faster than tactile measurements, able to collect high-density data, can be highly flexible to access complex features and are free from the risk of surface damage. In this paper, a methodology for the development of fast and effective in-line optical measuring instruments for the surfaces of parts with millimetre- to micrometre-size is presented and its implementation demonstrated on an industrial case study in additive manufacturing. Definitions related to in-line measurement and barriers to implementing in-line optical measuring instruments are discussed.
