Title: Bringing CMM Inspection To Cells.
Authors: Korn, Derek
Source: Modern Machine Shop. Mar2008, Vol. 80 Issue 10, p90-96. 7p. 4 Color Photographs.
Subjects: Hartzell Propeller Inc., Manufacturing cells, Coordinate measuring machines, Aerial propellers, Flow charts
Abstract: The article deals with the advantages for Hartzell Propeller of its move to strategically combine shop floor coordinate measuring machine (CMM) inspection and on-machine probing in its manufacturing cells. To provide instant process feedback to cell operators, the propeller manufacturer culled the best shop machining practices, developed proven processes and documented them in operational flowcharts and brought highly accurate, automated inspection capabilities to each cell via shop floor CMM.
