High-flexibility components in composite material are ofgreat interest in many fields, from aeronautic and automotive industries to sport and design goods. Their deformation during cure process, known as spring-in and warpage, is acceptable ifit is within the indicated tolerance. The research aim ofthe present work is to present a way to inspect a high flexible part in composite material by means of a coordinate measuring machine with a touch probe. This means to define the fixturing equipment and the measurement strategy. The developed method was applied to an L-shaped part with a very small thickness and the obtained measurements were compared with those due to a laser system. The results show a good agreement between the two measure- ment techniques. Moreover, the further numerical simulations validate the developed contact measurement method.

Abstract
High-flexibility components in composite material are ofgreat interest in many fields, from aeronautic and automotive industries to sport and design goods. Their deformation during cure process, known as spring-in and warpage, is acceptable ifit is within the indicated tolerance. The research aim ofthe present work is to present a way to inspect a high flexible part in composite material by means of a coordinate measuring machine with a touch probe. This means to define the fixturing equipment and the measurement strategy. The developed method was applied to an L-shaped part with a very small thickness and the obtained measurements were compared with those due to a laser system. The results show a good agreement between the two measure- ment techniques. Moreover, the further numerical simulations validate the developed contact measurement method.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
