CMM Inspection of the steering knuckle utilizing PMI data attached to 3D digital model

EV component manufacturing – Part 5

In this post, we describe how CMM inspection was used during the steering knuckle manufacturing process to ensure its dimensional accuracy and adherence to quality standards. By automating inspection programming using PMI attached to solid models, the CMM system enabled efficient and precise measurement, guaranteeing that critical-to-quality tolerances were met, thus ensuring the steering knuckle’s reliability and performance in real-world conditions.

EV component manufacturing – Part 3

The foundation of an efficient manufacturing process is always in the design. More and more companies are using additive manufacturing as their guiding blueprint, resulting in less material waste and optimizing cost savings for real production.

EV component manufacturing – Part 2

In a traditional production setting lacking a digital manufacturing infrastructure, tasks are typically carried out in isolated silos, leading to inefficiencies. This blog emphasizes the need for systematic management of iterations across the team. The adoption of a digital manufacturing infrastructure provides an efficient, error-preventing environment with immediate access to relevant data, design iterations, and real-time changes, offering the means to achieve agility and prevent operational errors.
