8 Ways of Automating SA Measurement Plan (MP)

9 What is a measurement plan? An MP is a script written in SA to automate measurement, analysis and reporting tasks. SA Ultimate SA Machine

10 What Are MPs Good For? Repetitive Tasks. Complex Tasks. Removing Human Error. Process Standardization. Incorporating Custom Logic. Extending SA Functionality. Automatic Report Generation. Reduction in Turnaround Time. What Are MPs Good For?

11 Demo MP - Analysis

12 MP GUI Graphical User Interface (GUI) used for editing Not Text-Based !

13 MP Building blocks Conditionals Loops Variables File I/O Arrays Subroutines

14 RealWorld Example: Automation of Application truck trailer bogie AT402 with SA to assemble two separate parts of a trailer bogie One of the parts which have to be aligned to each other is the base structure of the trailer without the wheels. The other one is an already assembled part which axle / wheel suspension. base structure axle / wheel suspension

18 Exercise: Truck Trailer - Alignment Alignment: Primary Z-Axis: 4 measurements on the bottom of both frame rails Secondary X-Axis: Line between the center of the King Pin and the average point between the edge point on the bottom Origin: Center of the King Pin

19 Truck Trailer – Build Sequence For the alignment process the customer has constructed a special rail system to move the wheel part into the right assembly position. On the wheel part will be 4 holes which could be measured to detect the right position. Build the wheel slider Use the imported lines for nominal information Tolerance +/- 0.1 Create a vector group which will show the result of the build process

20 Truck Trailer – Build Sequence Visual Representation

21 Truck Trailer – Additional Reporting Representation GD&T Flatness Check of the 2 stringers Tolerance: 0.2 Distance Check between the wheel axes Diagonally distance check

22 Reporting process: Excel Report Contains all dimensions with Pass/Fail indicators Part ID, Operator Name, & Date also contained in Report Truck Trailer – Excel Reporting
