Abstract

This paper describes an advanced closed loop quality control methodology for reconfigurable manufacturing systems. The methodology enables rapid root-cause diagnostics for faster ramp-up of reconfigurable systems through integration of the Reconfigurable Inspection Machine (RIM) and the Stream of Variations (SoV) methodology. The RIM enables reconfigurable, rapid, and accurate inspection using non-contact sensors while the SoV methodology is used to quickly analyze the measurements and identify the root-cause of the errors produced during machining. The feasibility of the industrial concept was experimentally validated. A machining error was introduced during machining of an engine head. Measurement information collected by the RIM was processed and used to locate the root-cause of the error using the SoV methodology.
