ABIS II Evaluation and Visualization Software
Besides the development of a surface defect across the process chain, the time-related changes within a production period also give users important information on the quality changes. For example, when the audit value deteriorates, corrective action (e.g. regarding press parameters or tool surfaces) can be taken at an early stage before producing parts with defects that will later require rework. Statistics programs provide distribution charts that show the user which component positions and which steps of the production process offer a potential for cost-saving optimization.
When programming additional test sequences for new parts, the user is systematically supported by the easy-to-use ABIS-TeachIn software. After defining the individual inspection positions on the part, the user assigns the required quality level to each object area. The latest version of the TeachIn software features a virtual toolbox for auditing. The toolbox comprises whetstones in different sizes that can be used according to the dimensions of the individual surface defect. Short whetstones in the TeachIn software allow inspecting critical positions on parts (e.g. door handle recesses, tight concave surface contours), which cannot be accessed using real whetstones. Additional functions for detecting skid and impact lines, cracks and holes are also easy to activate. The classification criteria and threshold values for a subsequent automatic evaluation of the defects are always based on the customers specifications. In addition, the system applies the customers internal audit note standards and defect names. The specified threshold values can be flexibly adapted to the relevant production stage at any time (floating audit).
