Description du projet/ Project Description
Productivity is hampered by frequent program interruptions for operator sizing cuts and other process verifications.  The project aims to replace such operations by on-machine gauging and automated program changes to achieve un-broken program runs

Objectifs/ Objectives
- Provide routine operator-intervention-free machining operations within each part setup by removing manual gauging operations;
- Achieve on machine-gauging accuracy to +/-0.0001” for selected key manufacturing characteristics;
- New proposed methods need to be faster than the current process intervention
- Demonstrate effectiveness of on-machine compensation strategy for automated programme parameters adjustments:
        a)  Tool wear compensation methods for sizing cuts
        b)  Verification of the blending profile by in-machine measurement system on critical profiles.
        c)  Provide compensation methods for time-based changes in machine volumetric accuracy.
