Description/Abstract | The handling of large volumes of inspection data printouts was a problem in PM Building, where the inspection data were being generated from Computer Numerical Controlled Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM). The inspection of a group of 600 pieceparts could generate a stack of printer paper five to six inches high. To collect only the useful data from the inspections, a change to the CMM software was purchased, which allows the transfer of only measurement data to a second computer. From the second computer, the data are saved in a tabular format to a floppy disk, using a piece of software created especially for this purpose. The floppy disk is then used to transfer the data to a computer workstation where it is made presentable and analyzed in a LOTUS spreadsheet. From the analysis, the inspected product can be accepted or rejected; the capability of the process can be determined; and finally, future inspection requirements can be evaluated and modified. This technique results in a compact document or electronic file containing all the important data in a presentable, usable, and easily understood format. 33 figs. |
