  1. Cylinder Bore Inspection Engineering Research Center forReconfigurable Manufacturing Systems

  2. NCU (residual boring marks after honing of cylinders) detection requested by power train. Applicable scattering phenomenon observed in laboratory. Defect detection: Go/No-Go vs. conventional metrology. Project Background Project Goal • Detection of non clean-up (NCU) of residual boring marks after honing of cylinder bores. • Cycle time of 20 seconds required.

  3. Laser Scattering from Machined Surfaces The physical phenomenon used to distinguish between boring and honing: Laser light normally incident on a machined surface is scattered preferentially in a plane perpendicular to the machining marks.

  4. Cylinder Surface • Scatter, not just reflection. • Different pattern for boring vs. honing. • Direction of scattered laser light varies with boring vs. honing.

  5. Probe Assembly Slip Ring

  6. Manufactured Probe Detector Mirror Laser Prism Slip Ring

  7. Typical Data • Data collected with Labview • Plots generated with Matlab NCU Detection Properly Honed

  8. Honing Problem Detection Different honing patterns at the top and bottom of the cylinder Axial stripes along the cylinder wall.

  9. Alternate Detectable Conditions Fine and Coarse Boring Coarse Honing

  10. Technology transfer to industry. Demonstrate parallel probe operation. Demonstrate survivability and maintainability of probes in a factory environment. Accelerate implementation in ERC member company plants. Full Scale Prototype Goals

  11. Inspect one bank of V blocks, all cylinders of straight 4 blocks. Demonstrate parallel operation. Easily reconfigurable. Inspect blocks from different manufacturers-straight 4,V-6, and V-8. Minimum cost. Full Scale Prototype Requirements

  17. Optimization of parallel detection at the ERC. Factory implementation of prototype system. Possible detection of rough hone or boring stages. A probe to measure dimensional variation and detect NCU is being developed. Future Work

  18. A new probe is being developed. New probe will measure dimensional variation as well as check surface finish. Probe centering in a cylinder will be easily determined using this probe. Probe uses different detector, electronics, optics and software.

  19. Scatter from surface is imaged onto detector by lens. Image position changes with distance from probe to surface. Detector is position sensitive. Dimension sensing probe Bore Surface Slip Ring Mirror Lens Detector Laser
