REGISTRATION AND SURFACE INSPECTION OF AUTOMOTIVE PRESSED PARTS BASED ON POINT CLOUD GENERATED BY OPTICAL MEASURING TECHNIQUES

Modern quality control has become unthinkable without optical measuring systems which are intensively used in automotive industry. This paper shows the analysis of preparation of models in terms of proper positioning in relation to the digitized model and the correct interpretation of the results of quality control. Experimental results verifying the method and the theory are shown. Part of tool for pressing and fabricated physical model of passenger car's suspension control arm is compared to CAD model. Presented results of measurements show that the optical measuring systems are powerful tool for quality control, analysis and discovering of causes of faults.
