DEMANDS ON MANUFACTURING METROLOGY AND SOLUTIONS

T. Pfeifer, D. Effenkammer

Abstract

Today’s global competition causes increased demands on production processes. Workpieces with more and more complex shapes, which are toleranced very sharply, must be manufactured with a high time and cost pressure and have to fulfil highest demands on quality. That is why manufacturing processes must be optimized continuously and controlled reliably. These requirements cause new tasks and challenges for manufacturing metrology, which has to supply the needed information for optimizing manufacturing processes. Within this paper, an approach is given to fulfil the actual and the future demands on manufacturing metrology. New chances offered by the progress in metrology and information / communication technology are shown. Furthermore the article describes steps, to realize the given approach within the company using those new technological chances.
