Abstract:

<p> With nonrigid parts, it is most convenient for designers to specify the desired shape in the design condition; that is, the shape is specified with all loads present that the part will experience in service (gravity, assembly constraints, etc.). The flexibility of the part begins to pose challenges for the dimensional inspection of the part profile when the deformations due to design loads exceed 10% of the dimensional tolerances. A common approach to negotiate the inspection of nonrigid parts is to construct an inspection fixture that mimics the design condition (identical mounting points

Abstract:

The service life of any concrete marine structure is influenced by the physical condition of both the above water and below water portions of structure. This requires implementing an adequate inspection, maintenance, and repair program for the entire structure. To develop an effective maintenance and repair program for the submerged portion of the structure, the causes and extent of concrete distress or deterioration must be clearly understood. This requires a selective underwater condition survey, using a range of in-situ and laboratory testing and inspection techniques, to obtain the necessa

More than ever, efficiency and quality are key words in modern industry.

Given a part to be inspected and a corresponding model of the part stored in the model data base, the first step of inspecting t

Abstract:

There has been growth in the costs of maintenance over the last 40 years. This can be linked directly to the changes in production technology over that period of time. However. there has also been growth in the field of management science and operations research. Many models have been developed to assist the maintenance function in its decisions. However. it would appear from engineering journals and shop floor practice that these models are not well used. For this research the method of inspection and repair maintenance has been chosen. Mainly because it is one of the most widely used methods

Abstract:

This study examines the automatization potential for two production lines at Scania Transmission workshop in Södertälje using Industry 4.0 technologies. In order to do so, the capabilities of the operational performance and safety features of cobots and an Automated Visual Inspection System is theoretically investigated and intended to substitute CNC operators on certain tasks such as loading of conveyors and quality controls. The purpose of the study is to generate a realistic approach and give insight to the benefits of a future practical implementation.Previous research around these technol

Abstract:

Initiativet till detta projekt togs av PitchUp AB, då efterfrågan av en bättre drönare förinspektion till industri framkommit.För att utföra inspektioner i trånga miljöer krävs idag mycket arbete, då delar avindustrin måste stängas ner under utförandet. Många arbetsplatser kräver även attställningar monteras på plats som tillträde för inspektionen, vilket utgör större resurserför personal, tid och kostnader.Fokus i projektet har varit att ta fram ett designkoncept till en ny drönare som skallanvändas vid inspektion för underhållsarbeten inom industri i trånga och mörka miljöer.För att förbättr

Abstract:

The thesis presented herein comprises of the work undertaken to research novel methods of Phased array ultrasonic inspection of complex steam turbine blade roots as found in the power generation industry. The research was conducted as part of the Engineering Doctorate scheme, administered by the Research Centre for Non-Destructive Evaluation (RCNDE), in conjunction with RWE npower and the University of Warwick. Steam turbine blades, and in particularly last stage blades of low pressure steam turbines, are amongst the most highly stressed components on a power generating plant. Two of the most

Abstract:

In this study, a calibration setup for laser beam positioning systems used in visual inspection applications in industry is designed and manufactured. The laser positioning systems generate movable parallel laser lines on the projection surface. There are several translational and angular error sources affecting the positioning accuracy of the laser lines on the projection surface. Especially, since the laser line positioning error caused by angular error sources increases with the distance between the laser system and the projection surface, angular parameters of the laser sources should be m

Abstract:

Dimensional inspection with Vision Systems requires a careful selection of image analysis methods in order to obtain accurate information about the geometry of the parts to be measured. The purpose of this project is to study, implement and compare different image evaluation methods and to show their strengths and weaknesses with respect to dimensional inspection. Emphasis is made on the inspection of circular features. The criteria of comparison for these methods are discussed. Using synthetically generated images, various analysis methods are compared and conclusions for their use are drawn.

Abstract:

For some time now coordinate measuring machines have been an integral part of the shop floor. The goal has been to make coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) into tools that can easily be used by machinists to improve their manufacturing capabilities. The value of a CMM as a quality control tool is undisputed. Now efforts are being made to further reduce the time and cost of measurement by reducing the physical distance between machining and measuring processes. The ability to reduce that distance to zero and measure a part directly on the chip-making machine has been a goal for many years. Dim
