On-machine-Measurement (OMM) is the measuring on the machine tool and getting the result of machining instead of measuring on a measuring instrument. OMM doesn’t require the desperation and repositioning process, so the shortening the lead time for inspections is achieved. For execution of OMM the operator should set measurement strategy, such as measurement item, the number of measuring points and the position, to generate a NC program for the measurement.
In this study, our aim is the automation of those preparation tasks required time and effort, especially touch trigger probe which is introduced for NC machine tools is utilized. Our proposed system automatically recognize the machining feature from the Total Removal Volume (TRV) detected between the CAD models of product and material, and decide the measuring strategy. Therefore, the NC program for executing OMM with touch trigger probe is automatically generated. A case study was conducted to show the effectiveness of the developed OMM system.
