The Challenge:
Manufacturers rely on precise dimensional inspections to meet engineering specifications; however, traditional methods are slow, create bottlenecks, and often rely on offsite measurements. The IRODI system is being developed to address these challenges by enabling real-time, in-process inspections on the production floor through the integration of optical scanning and the accuracy of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs).
How it Works:
A key component of IRODI, the Maestro software, has been tested in a lab setting using CMMs and laser scanners to perform dimensional inspections of machined components. Maestro integrates with existing metrology tools to coordinate inspections, analyze measurement data, and optimize quality control. A key attribute for MAESTRO is significantly reduced time for small batch inspection. The full IRODI system is designed to automate inspection planning, enable on-machine inspection across both subtractive and additive processes, identify defects earlier, reduce rework, support real-time decision-making, and integrate seamlessly with current manufacturing environments.
