The aim of the article is to present a method of measuring the volume of a blank using a laser sensor and a complete measuring stand. In the analyzed part of the manufacturing process of water fittings, the brass rod is cut on blanks of a given weight using CNC sawing machine. Due to the applied flashless forging technology, high cutting precision is required, understood as a relative mass tolerance of the blank of less than 0.1%. In this case, it becomes important to measure the geometry of the rod to calculate its volume – to correct the length of the blank. The natural way to calculate the volume of rotational solids with complex shapes is to determine the definite integral of the curve describing the outer surface of the solid. However, in the case of solids with geometrical errors this function may vary with the angle of rotation of the solid. In the case of real systems, in which the measurement results are a discrete sequence of numbers, it is natural to choose numerical integration. The paper presents the use of a laser sensor moved around the axis and along the rod to measure its volume and the concept of a complete measuring stand. |
