DMC recently worked with a client that fabricates friction disks for use in automotive transmissions. It is critical that each disk meets the specied tolerances for disk thickness, atness, and groove depth, among other properties. To conrm the disk measurements, DMC assisted our client in implementing a Keyence laser scanning inspection system to interface with their PLC-driven production system and completed EOL quality tests. The EOL inspection system was programmed using LabVIEW software and relied on NI PCIe cards. The long-term goal of this application was to allow the client to enhance, change, and update their inspection system by using an open software platform. This will help the client quickly react to changing product and market requirements and ensure high product quality. T
