Hello everyone!
I am new to this forum and have a question on calibrating a vision system. We have resently installed a vision system on our assemly line not to measure a part but to verify that the correct part is being used. The plan is to measure the first part of every job and take a picture of that part. Then every part in the job is compared to that registered image. This system is going to be used on hundreds of different part numbers so master parts for all of the different parts is impossible. The system isn't intended to verify that all of the parts are in print just to verify that the part isn't dramatically different than the measured part.
We are TS 16949 certified and I'm not sure what the auditor's interpitation will be on this. The vision system manufacturer says they have not heard of anyone calibrating a vision system since it doesn't really measure anything. Does anyone out there have a system in place like this? Do you have it calibrated or do you have master parts that you periodically check on it? Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
