www.us-tech.com From Ping-Pong to Perfection: Enhancing the Art of Inspection Programming I
t’s sometimes called the ping-pong effect: the back-and-forth task of adjusting 3D inspection models to eliminate false calls
without increasing the risk of escapes. Thanks to a new automated programming assistant, all this work can now be put to bet- ter use.
Every time a user certifies a real defect
or false call, it remembers, constantly updat- ing the inspection library based on real pro- duction data. The result is an inspection process that automatically moves closer to perfection every time it’s in use, saving pro- grammers time, effort — and their most valuable resource of all — concentration.
The Pursuit of Perfection In the pursuit of the perfect
inspection model, program fine- tuning can often feel frustrating. Tighten tolerances too much, and the false calls proliferate. Open them up, and new escapes arise. Each modification and every review can have these spin-off effects — not exactly the best use of a programmer’s time and attention. With Mycronic’s Escape
Tracker, now there’s a way to improve inspection models over time with no added programming steps. During program fine-tun- ing, the software effectively runs a background check. Automat - ically collecting review images. Checking modified parameters against certified inspection data. Hundreds of times per second, it updates the baseline for the entire inspection library, bring- ing what began as an ideal inspection model closer and clos- er to the realities of previously manufactured and inspected components. Escape Tracker represents
the latest evolution of Mycronic’s industry-leading Library Pro: a powerful inspection library that stores and optimizes a unified database of every inspected prod- uct. The major advance with Escape Tracker is its ability to continuously perform non-regres- sion control of the central library’s performance. This gives the software a comprehensive overview of previous production, making it possible to cross-check program settings across prod- ucts, rather than solely against the current production batch as is common practice today. Once the program has been
created, Escape Tracker checks that the latest adjustments made to each inspection model for each type of component will still detect the previously known true defects and will not generate any false calls. Based on the information
provided by Escape Tracker, the programmer makes the neces- sary corrections to the inspection

model of the related component. Often it is a matter of adjusting tolerances. Once the corrections are made, Escape
Tracker performs a new efficiency check of the inspection model against known real defects and potential false calls.
A New Era This ability to cross-check a program for
a particular component against all historical inspection data marks a significant advance in 3D inspection. In the past, a so-called
