Inspection planning is a process of reasoning about inspection activities. As a result, a sequence of inspection actions is formulated, which, when performed, will achieve the desired measurements. In manufacturing, automated inspection technologies, such as Computer-Aided Inspection (CAI) or Co-ordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs), will be facilitated by inspection planning. Inspection planning involves the following four aspects: representation of inspection features; process formalization; modeling of inspection activities; and, finally, plan synthesis. This paper discusses an approach to knowledge-based inspection planning. Accordingly, a prototype inspection planning system has been developed, which is also described in this paper.

Quality inspection is the source of vital information for business control and improvement in manufacturing. This paper describes research at the University of Bristol, in collaboration with Rolls-Royce plc, to develop automated inspection planning and computer aided inspection applications. The inspection planning system involves the representation of inspection features and the manufacturing process model, together with an automated planning mechanism driven by rule-based plan reasoning. The shop-floor computer aided inspection workstation uses hand-held instruments interfaced to a computer, and provides flexible, interactive assistance for the dimensional inspection task. Batch and component traceability and control, together with a range of quality information storage and reporting functions, are provided.

Computer-aided inspection planning (CAIP) has gained significant research attention in the last years. So far, most CAIP systems have focused on the use of a touch probe mounted on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). This article investigates multisensor measurement aiming to perform automatic and efficient inspection plans. High-level inspection planning, which deals with sequencing of measuring operations, is the main concern of inspection planning. This paper presents an automatic approach to generate inspection sequences by combining laser sensor and touch probe, and by giving preference to the measurement using the laser sensor if quality requirements are satisfied. The proposed approach consists of three steps. In the first step, recognition of inspection data from the computer-aided design (CAD) part model is carried out based on the concept of inspection feature (IF), and the extracted information is stored in a database. In the second step, a list of privileged scanner orientations is proposed by analyzing the accessibility of both sensors. In the third step, a sequence of operations is generated iteratively. For a given scanner orientation, the ability of the laser sensor is assessed according to an original process based on fuzzy logic model. If the laser sensor does not meet the ability requirements, touch probe ability is assessed. The proposed approach is implemented and tested on a part defined by its CAD model and specifications.

This paper represents a part of research plan of “Advanced Endodontic Technology Development.” In order to aid endodontic treatment a 3-D computer model of root canals has been created which shows the geometrical characteristics. The extent of work needed for root canal treatment is obtained from this 3-D model. The objective of this paper is to convert the geometrical characteristics into automatic treatment procedure planning. This computer-aided process planning for endodontic treatment determines tool selection and process method. It also calculates tool path and optimum tool movement distance. The output of this planning system is a numerical controlled program. Because of paper size limitation, only tool selection and path control during coronal canal treatment preparation for posterior teeth are discussed in the paper. The computer-aided treatment procedure planning system provides transformation from a 3-D canal model to a machine-controlled program that will yield a treated root canal ready for filling. It serves as a bridge between design (3-D canal model) and manufacturing (canal treatment). Unlike conventional methods for root canal treatment, the computer-aided treatment process planning system emphasizes a non-destructive internal tooth geometry examination and less invasive access preparation.
