METHOD FOR ASSESSING FIT AND ALIGNMENT OF A MANUFACTURED PART

摘要

An automated method is provided for assessing fit and alignment of an assemb ly component in relation to its assembly environment. The method includes: collecting measurement data for the assembly component; defining model data representative of an assembly environment, where the assembly environment is defined by surfaces of objects that are adjacent to the assembly component i n an assembled configuration; and comparing the measurement data with the mode l data for the assembly environment, thereby assessing the assembly component in relation to its assembly environment.
