Let’s say that this water pump cover needs to lie flat against its mating surface to within a specific GD&T Flatness Callout. We’ve seen, in the past, that Control X can check for GD&T Callout information and return pass/fail conditions.  But we can also use Control X to determine the amount that a part is in or out of a ‘Flatness’ spec by turning on a localized color map that we call a ‘Fitting Deviation’. [...]

Batch Processing – Unmanned Inspections

We’ve seen how to inspect the scan of a single, manufactured part against an inspection plan generated using a nominal CAD model.   But what if we have many manufactured part scans to inspect against the same inspection plan, using the same nominal CAD model. That’s where Batch Processing comes in. The exact same inspection process can be reused as many times as needed and no human intervention is required. Once the batch processing [...]

Control X – Repositioning a Crankshaft

  Control X – Repositioning a Crankshaft In this week's 2 Minute Tuesday, we explore how to reposition the nominal CAD model in Oqton's Control X so that inspection information is reported based upon the main assembly’s coordinate system and not the local subassembly. We use a crankshaft as our sample.
