Notes:
The outer race of the constant velocity(CV) joint is an important load-supportingautomotive part, which transmits torque between the transmission and the wheel. The outer race isdifficult to be forged, because its shape is very complex and the required dimensional tolerances arevery stringent. Therefore, the internet based shape inspection system is developed in this study toprovide quick and accurate measuring data. Proposed system uses mechanical displacement sensorsto measure the shape of CV joint that has six inner ball grooves, and commercially available Lab-View program is used to process measured data into the dimensional shape. Developed programprovides a simple user interface that enables users to have real-time access of data measured fromindustrial production lines. Furthermore, the measured data can be exchanged via the internetbetween users and forging system operators. A java applet helped the system connection viainternet. A data, IP access, is transmitted to the packet by TCP/IP. Our proposed system has manyadvantages over current measuring systems including fast and efficient data processing by real-timemeasuring, and system flexibility
