  • Patent number: 4719586
    Abstract: A process control is provided for continuously monitoring and adjusting an apparatus for manufacturing discrete workpieces. The system measures a current workpiece by taking fifteen readings and deleting the highest five and lowest five readings and averaging the center five readings. This value is then used for sorting the workpiece in accordance with preset tolerance limits. The measured average value is also compared with an expected value which the system has computed and stored. An adjustment value is then calculated based on a comparison of the measured dimension of the current workpiece and a measured dimension of the last-produced workpiece and the expected value for the current workpiece. The apparatus is then adjusted in accordance with the computed adjustment value.
