Dimensional QC
Dimensional QC Software + Inspection Coordination
Dimensional quality control software coordinates coordinate measuring machine and probe measurements against geometric dimensioning and tolerancing inspection plans, evaluating an average of 20 features per fabricated component. Stored on radiation-hardened NOR flash and drawing one watt of operational power, the software executes multi-feature inspection sequences, enforces drawing pass/fail criteria, and routes non-conforming parts for recycling. Operating without terrestrial technical support across a 100-year design life, the architecture integrates machine-learning-augmented inspection planning, maintains a continuous 100-year quality control archive, and targets a 500,000-hour mean time between failures.
Dimensional QC software coordinating CMM and probe measurements against per-part GD&T inspection plans.
Purpose
Dimensional QC software coordinating CMM and probe measurements against per-part GD&T inspection plans.
Context
Child of L2-MFG-QC within the Lunar Ark system
Principles
- ▸Per-part GD&T inspection plan
