Abstract


Checking Fixture (CF) design is an important element in the stamping process of automotive parts and plays an integral role in linking Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). In order to enhance CF design quality and efficiency, this paper proposes a portable quality-confirmation inspection device for automotive part. The concept of the computer-aided CF design includes a new volume bounding box generation approach for a gantry system framework.  Embedded in the system, is a multi objective optimization algorithm which is used for locator layout design and a multi-surface extension and transition method for checking the surface quality. The sensors attached to the system will capture the images of a part and transfer the data into the developed computer system. As an implementation of the CF gantry system, a portable quality-confirmation inspection device for automotive part is developed. Reinforced Front Pillar Panel CF design is taken as a case study to verify it’s feasibility and practicability.  Based on the initial results, the device is able to give good readings as compared to the manual checking method.  Finally, through improvement stages, the system is able to provide an alternative for automotive parts quality confirmation method.
