A measurement system for brake connectors in automobiles

A measurement system for brake connectors in automobiles Purpose – The brake connector of an automobile is one important part in the brake system. How to measure the matching surface quality is a problem, because the matching surface is a cone surface and has a deep aperture structure. Design/methodology/approach – A new measurement system is presented which could assure illumination and image with a special beam splitter. The worker could observe the matching surface by better image. Findings – More objective evaluation is given with image processing method. Research limitations/implications – Now, this measurement system is used by Toyota (Tianjin) company and satisfied result is obtained. Originality/value – This paper is an original work and focuses on an important issue in automobile production. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Assembly Automation Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Purpose – The brake connector of an automobile is one important part in the brake system. How to measure the matching surface quality is a problem, because the matching surface is a cone surface and has a deep aperture structure. Design/methodology/approach – A new measurement system is presented which could assure illumination and image with a special beam splitter. The worker could observe the matching surface by better image. Findings – More objective evaluation is given with image processing method. Research limitations/implications – Now, this measurement system is used by Toyota (Tianjin) company and satisfied result is obtained. Originality/value – This paper is an original work and focuses on an important issue in automobile production.
