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.

Inspection on coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) is based on software support for various classes of metrological tasks, i.e. tolerances. Today, the design of a uniform inspection plan for a measuring part presents a rather complex issue due to the following: (i) metrological complexity of a measuring part; (ii) skills and knowledge of a designer / inspection planner; and (iii) software for CAI model, considered as a part of an integrated CAD-CAPP-CAM-CAI system. This issue could be addressed by the usage of expert systems that generate a conceptual inspection plan for a measuring part, based on which the inspection plan for a selected CMM could be automatically developed. This paper presents the development of a model of an automatic inspection planning system for CMMs, and, in particular, the developed knowledge base model.

Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) inspection planning is an activity performed by well-trained operators, but different measurement techniques, using the same data analysis algorithms yield in different measurement results. This is a well-recognized source of uncertainty in coordinate measurement. A CMM, provided with an automatic inspection planning (CAIP) system, permits to implement more accurate and efficient operating procedures and to fit higher quality assurance standards and tighter production timings.In this paper we present a frame of a CAIP system, able to deal with almost all the decisional stages of CMM inspection. Moreover, original approaches have been developed and presented in inspection feature selection, part set-up, probe configuration, and path planning.
