OI Powered Geometric Library

Historically, evaluating measurement data of geometrical features in manufacturing required physical and/or mathematical alignments. These alignments directly affect the results.

To further complicate matters, the data collected by measurement systems (e.g., scanners, CMM) can contain noise and anomalies. Lastly, real manufactured parts do not realistically represent a perfect mathematical geometry and contain variation and imperfections. Because the alignment itself already introduces error, it becomes impossible to distinguish between measurement system capability, anomalies and part quality. 

The final challenge is that using inspection software, there are various manual cleanup methods, filters, and processing layers. This leaves no way to know how far off geometrical results truly are.

By applying OI Core Technology to geometrical analysis, you instantly gain access to one single, absolute alignment based on the center point and geometric structure of the data. 

Inora has applied OI Core Technology to a wide array of geometrical functional models. A list of currently available OI powered software modules is shown below. Further geometrical/dimensional functions can be developed by request. 

OI Core Technology automatically determines the quality/consistency of any data set and flags (but not discards) points that are outside of that range. No human interaction is required and numerically certain values are provided. 

The final piece to controlling geometrical measurement data is to use  InoraSRS. The SRS makes it possible to understand a measurement system’s capability and isolate that influence. 

By implementing OI powered geometrical modules in an existing software package or process, the results will move from numerically uncertain to certain. The absolute indications of quality given will save time that is wasted by the false positives and false negatives of uncertain results and trying to root cause issues that may not have actually existed in the first place.
