First-article castings await inspection at Haas Automation. All first-article castings are thoroughly inspected and measured to ensure they comply with design specifications.
The inspection process used to involve rulers, tape measures, height gauges, and lots of time. Today, the castings are measured quickly using a laser scanner that feeds the data directly into the computer for comparison to the solid models. The castings are painted with low-reflectance paint, and reflective dots are placed onto all casting surfaces. The scanner recognizes the dots as data points, which are then used to create a computer model of the casting.
