TopSolid'Inspection: ballooning and dimension control

Optimize your quality controls

TopSolid'Inspection is a software package that supports the quality department of production companies, notably allowing the creation of inspection reports.

Reading the part drawing is at the heart of the part control quality process. TopSolid'Inspection works directly on the 2D drawing to retrieve the value of the dimensions to be measured, which makes it possible to automatically launch processes that were initially very time-consuming.

The two main features of TopSolid'Inspection are:

Recovering dimension values by ballooning the drawing in order to build a document listing the control points to be noted on the part.
Feedback of measurements made on the shopfloor via a simplified data entry interface.

Saving time, limiting errors and traceability are the objectives.

Benefits

Direct use of the drawing

The part drawing in image, scan, TIFF, PDF, DXF and DWG format is integrated into the application at the inspection project level where the characteristics specific to manufacturing are defined (customer, order, production order, quantity of parts produced, serial numbers, etc.).

Dimension ballooning

The control point list is created by ballooning the dimensions directly on the drawing of the part. The value of the dimension is retrieved via a character recognition, this allows an automatic supply of tolerances (according to the general tolerance or the fitting), control frequency, location in the drawing, etc.

Features

Automatic metric/inch conversion
Management of parts serial numbers
Color, size, orientation, balloon ordering
Database of general tolerances and fittings
Management of control means
Management of treatment thicknesses
User traceability with configurable access rights

Custom editions

The control drawing and the balloon drawing are printable and exportable in standard formats (Excel, Word, PDF, etc.). The layout of the edition templates can be configured to your image (inspection report, auto-inspection, FAI, etc.).

Extensions

Shopfloor data entry interface

The software or its simplified version is portable in the workshop on a PC or Windows tablet for the measurement feedback.
Measurements can be entered manually using the keyboard or via a connected control mean.

Zero paper
Windows tablet interface
Compatible with connected control means
Management of monitoring limits
Management of measuring instrument
Dynamic control chart
Importing results from a CMM Excel report

Analysis and capability

An interface for analyzing the results allows you to obtain indicators and control charts for a project or a set of sampling projects:

Measurements and attributes control chart
Capability study, Cp, Cpk

A multi-criteria search tool allows you to find projects, control points, control means according to the selection criteria (dates, customer, control mean, etc.).
