In the field of automotive parts production, once the form and position tolerance control of stamped parts such as fenders and doors exceeds the range of ± 0.3mm, problems such as uneven gaps and decreased sealing performance will occur during subsequent body assembly. The traditional measurement method relies on contact tools such as calipers and gauges, which suffer from pain points such as single data dimension, poor repeatability, and large subjective deviation, and cannot fully cover the complex surfaces and multidimensional dimensions of stamped parts. Moreover, the manual operation error is large, making it difficult to stably meet the strict tolerance requirement of ± 0.3mm.

Solution: Systematic empowerment of coordinate measuring instruments

In response to the high-precision detection requirements of stamped parts, the new generation of coordinate measuring machines (CMM) has constructed a closed-loop solution from single point detection to global quality control through multi-sensor fusion technology and intelligent tolerance analysis system. It can comprehensively detect multidimensional parameters such as size, shape, and position of stamped parts such as fenders, with measurement accuracy up to micrometer level, which meets the tolerance control requirements within ± 0.3mm:

1. High precision scanning and full surface reconstruction

Adopting a composite measurement mode of optical scanning and trigger probe, thousands of point cloud data are collected per second, accurately restoring the three-dimensional morphology of complex surfaces such as fenders, with a minimum resolution of 0.001mm, avoiding blind spots caused by manual sampling.

2. Dynamic compensation mechanism for geometric tolerances

Based on GD&T (Geometric Dimensions and Tolerances) standards, automatically align CAD models with measured data, and calculate key tolerance parameters such as flatness, contour, and positional accuracy in real-time. By using temperature compensation algorithm and vibration suppression technology, the measurement stability within ± 0.3mm is ensured in the workshop environment.

3. Process quality warning system

Integrate SPC (Statistical Process Control) module to conduct trend analysis on stamping batches and provide early warning of potential risks such as mold wear and material rebound.

In practical application scenarios, whether it is sampling inspection in mass production or full-size inspection of key components, the coordinate measuring instrument can quickly complete data collection and analysis.

From the perspective of industry development trends, as automobile manufacturing upgrades towards lightweight and intelligent direction, the requirements for component accuracy will become increasingly stringent, and the tolerance control standards for stamped parts such as fenders may be further tightened. And the coordinate measuring instrument is also constantly iterating and upgrading, developing towards higher accuracy, higher efficiency, and more intelligence.
