AICC - Automatic Inspection of Cut Carbon

In this article, measurement methods and an optical test device for determining the quality of machined components are introduced. Until now, catalogues of limiting samples are commonly used for this and visual quality assessments are carried out without technical aid, so they are not reproducible. In the article, an optical measurement procedure is presented. This procedure evaluates special machining errors on drill holes and edges that can occur during the manufacture of fiber components. The measuring method was implemented in terms of a handset with the name AICC (Automatic Inspection of Cut Carbon). With the help of AICC, the subjective and error-prone assessment of a worker is avoided and reproducible measurement results are created. Further, there is the possibility to file all measurement results in a database, what allows to draw conclusions about process flows and stability.
