The verification and validation of engineering designs are of primary importance as they
directly influence production performance and ultimately define product functionality and …

In recent years, on-machine measurement (OMM) technology, which uses a touch-trigger
probe (TTP) installed on the machine tool (MT) spindle, has become increasingly popular …

Abstract The Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) systems are recently developed in
manufacturing engineering to provide links between Computer Aided Design (CAD) and …

Combining multiple sensors on CMMs (Coordinate Measuring Machines) is useful to fulfil
the increasing requirements on both complexity and accuracy in dimensional metrology. Yet …

The benefits of laser welding include higher production values, deeper penetration, higher
welding speeds, adaptability, and higher power density. These characteristics make laser …

Platform-based manufacturing is substantially changing the way production is conceived
and performed. Companies do not know who is making their parts, part manufacturers do …

The fourth industrial revolution is changing the way industries face their problems, including
maintenance. The railway industry is moving to adopt this new industry model. The new …

This paper presents a model of prismatic parts (PPs) inspection planning on CMMs, in terms
of an intelligent concept of inspection planning. The developed model is composed of …

Blade is one of the most important parts in turbine machinery. The complex geometry of
blades not only makes them difficult to fabricate, but also leads them difficult to inspect …

Coordinate measuring machines are widely used in the precision measurement of
manufacturing workpieces. However, the nature of a point-by-point probing characteristic …
