A digital checking fixture with a contour check is a tool used in manufacturing and quality control processes to verify the accuracy and precision of a product's dimensions and contours. It typically involves the use of sensors, digital measurement devices, and software to assess whether a manufactured part meets the specified design requirements.
The term "checking fixture" refers to a device or tool that holds a part in a fixed position to allow for measurements and inspections. "Digital" implies the use of electronic sensors or measurement devices, while "contour check" indicates that the tool is capable of assessing the shape, curvature, or contours of a part.
In the context of manufacturing, this type of fixture is often employed to ensure that components or products are produced within specified tolerances and adhere to design specifications. The digital aspect allows for more accurate and efficient measurements, while the contour check capability enables the assessment of complex shapes and geometries.
Specific features and functionalities of digital checking fixtures with contour checks may vary based on the industry, application, and the specific requirements of the manufacturing process.
