    Abstract: A system for part measurement and verification is disclosed. The system comprises a set of design criteria specifying a part and a fixture with gage blocks for positioning the part, where each of the gage blocks represents a known position. At least one probe is operable to measure the scalar values of the part and the gage blocks. A handheld information processor or computer is coupled to the probe for receiving the measurements and is operable to transform the measurements and compare those measurements to the design criteria to in order to verify the part. A method for part measurement and verification is disclosed. The method comprises eight steps. Step one calls for specifying the part with a set of design criteria. Step two requires storing the design criteria in a handheld information processor. Step three provides placing the part in a fixture with gage blocks at known locations. In step four, the method provides for configuring the handheld information processor to receive part measurements. The next step calls for measuring the part with a handheld probe to generate part measurements. Step six calls for receiving the generated part measurements in the handheld information processor. Step seven requires transforming the generated part measurements to a different reference frame. The last step calls for comparing the transformed part measurements to the design criteria in order to generate a part verification report.

    Abstract: A method for properly locating a flexible fixture on a CNC machine comprises probing a plurality of locators on a flexible fixture to determine a locator position on a coordinate system for the CNC machine. The position for each of the plurality of locators is analyzed to determine if all of the plurality of locators are within a predetermined offset limit from a nominal position. A controller is programmed with an offset compensation amount based upon the probed position for each locator when each of the plurality of locators is within the predetermined offset limit. The locator positions are adjusted if one of the probed locations is not within the predetermined offset limit. The CNC probing programs are generated by a computer language to accommodate various fixture configurations.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of producing a machining fixture for fixedly holding a workpiece during machining of that workpiece. The method comprises: providing an initial machining fixture comprising a plurality of receiving elements for receiving the workpiece to be machined; determining a datum, the datum being dependent upon the relative positions of the receiving elements; determining positions and orientations of one or more reference surfaces with respect to the datum; measuring the surface of the initial machining fixture with respect to the datum; and, thereafter, controlling machining apparatus with respect to the datum to machine the initial machining fixture to form the one or more reference surfaces, thereby producing the machining fixture.
