These competitors have maintained\r\ncompetitiveness by reducing production costs through the utilization of either advanced\r\nmanufacturing technologies and\/or low labour costs. Due to global pressures, Canadian\r\ncompanies have now started to focus on different areas to reduce production costs.\r\nQuality is one area that Canadian companies are focusing on because quality problems\r\ncan contribute to a 2 to 5% revenue loss. To assist the Canadian industry in cost\r\nreductions, a proof-of-concept of a real-time automated quality control system was\r\ndeveloped. The system took existing machine vision technologies from other industries\r\nand adapted them to a system designed specifically for the value-added industry. Basic\r\noptical metrology techniques were used to map the surface profile of the parts leaving a\r\nmachine centre. Three different basic profiles (tongue, groove and chamfer) were used to\r\ntest the prototype system. The accuracy of the system was verified against several other\r\nmeasurement systems; digital calipers, digital micrometer and laser profilometer. To\r\nmeet the industry requirements, the system's target accuracy was set to \u00b1 0.1mm. The\r\nprototype system, however, was not able to deliver consistent results due to a lack of\r\ncamera resolution and a lack of precision in the mounting hardware. Fortunately, these\r\nproblems can be remedied with modifications to the hardware and software.","language":"en"},{"key":"dc.language.iso","value":"eng","language":"en"},{"key":"dc.publisher","value":"University of British Columbia","language":null},{"key":"dc.rights","value":"For non-commercial purposes only, such as research, private study and education.
