  • Patent number: 11846932
    Abstract: A part processing planning method includes the following steps. Firstly, a specific tolerance of a nominal size of a part is obtained. Then, a predetermined tolerance of each of processes is obtained. Then, using a process dimension chain establishing technique, at least one predetermined tolerance associated with the specification tolerance from the predetermined tolerances is obtained. Then, at least one predetermined tolerance associated with the specification tolerance is accumulated to obtain a size cumulative tolerance. Then, whether the size cumulative tolerance meets the specification tolerance is determined. Then, at least one predetermined tolerance associated with the specification tolerance is re-allocated when the cumulative tolerance does not meet the specification tolerance, such that the size cumulative tolerance is within the specification tolerance.

  • Publication number: 20220055331
    Abstract: A shaping apparatus for shaping a workpiece includes a controlling module and a pressing module, a moving module, a sensing module and a shaping calculation module that are connected to the controlling module. The pressing module includes two pressing elements respectively applying load to a top/bottom surface of the workpiece. The moving module includes a moving platform moving the workpiece horizontally between a sensing zone and a processing zone. The sensing module performs a capturing process on the workpiece in the sensing zone to obtain a surface information. The shaping calculation module compares the surface information with an ideal shape data to calculate and get a shaping information. The moving platform moves the workpiece to the sensing zone. The sensing module performs a capturing process on the workpiece. The moving platform moves the workpiece to the processing zone. The pressing module performs a shaping treatment on the workpiece.

  • Patent number: 10260870
    Abstract: An on-line measuring system, a datum calibrating method, a deviation measuring method and a computer-readable medium are provided. The datum calibrating method includes following steps. A work piece is scanned by a scanning unit to obtain a global point cloud data. A local CAD data of the work piece is obtained according to a predetermined range. A local CAD geometric feature of the local CAD data is obtained. A local point cloud data of the global point cloud data is obtained according to a local range corresponding to the predetermined range. A local scanning geometric feature of the local point cloud data is obtained. The local scanning geometric feature and the local CAD geometric feature are compared to obtain at least one spatial freedom limit. A system basis is obtained according to six spatial freedom limits, if the number of the at least one spatial freedom limit reaches six.
