  • System and method for determining part damage
    Patent number: 11410298
    Abstract: A process for automated component inspection includes the steps of calibrating an imaging device mounted on a table; calibrating a coordinate measuring machine mounted on the table, the coordinate measuring machine comprising a fixture coupled to an arm of the coordinate measuring machine; coupling a component to the fixture; acquiring an image of said component with said imaging device; registering a baseline dimensioned image to the component image; applying the baseline dimensioned image to a damage detection algorithm; and determining component damage by the damage detection algorithm.
    Type: Grant
