INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
The studies on Comparison Study of Press Part Quality Inspection System: Checking Fixture and Faro Arm Laser Scanner which is an experimental based research. This
study was proposed to be carried out due to the existing of checking fixture and Faro arm laser scanner. The most frequent usage of this application is in automotive,
electronic, metal fabrication, plastics and press industries. Based on the research title, quality investigation was carried out to collect and record related quality checking
results of Faro arm laser scanner equipment
In this project study will be using press part component such as a caster that are produce in press part industries. The experimental results in this project are among the data that
recorded in the reference. A press is a process of changing a shape of sheet metal using a force according to the shape of dies which this process is widely used in industrial
practice. Mostly, all product manufactured are necessary an inspection process in order to conform the quality of the product. Many kind of inspection method are using such as
visual inspection and through a conformance gauge. At manufacturing practice, a quality conformation on the part manufactured using press method is inspected through a
special tool called checking fixture. This tool is designed and fabricated for locating, holding and then checking a certain points on part.
Most checking or inspection process is made manually and the common product that inspected through this technique is a part produced by a stamping machine. An advance

manufacturing industries are using power generated checking fixture which is combine with pneumatic devices and controlled through a program generated via MATLAB or
visual basic program. It is usually to inspect the attribute data of product such as light brightness and sound. For example is a manufacturer of digital cameras. Nowadays,
there are many research and experimental work that have been done in the quality inspection field but the most effective parameter still cannot define. Consequently, in
this project study will analysis and doing experiment investigate of the application Faro Arm Laser Scanner in quality inspection field whether it is suitable to use in press part
industries or not.
