Abstract

Quality control extended to the entire life cycle, from design to final product inspection, is a prerequisite for technical and economical success.

The paper presents some activities aimed at analysing a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) machining process by means of Statistical Process Control (SPC) tool applied to dimensional characteristics of a Chock Support of a Rolling Mill Cartridge Stands.

The paper focuses on the analysis of Process Capabilities Indexes of data collected through an extensive Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) measurement campaign, at the end of machining operations. On the basis of measurement results, causes of variations have been identified. As a result, new fixtures and locking procedures have been designed with a view to achieve a process, under statistical control, capable to meet geometrical specifications required by the product functionality.
