Development of flexible automotive measurement adaptors for the PQ25 VWSA platformPretorius, Shaun January 2009 (has links)
The following work describes all knowledge required in the creation of new automotive optical Photogrammetrical adaptors, which allow the user thereof to measure a fully assembled vehicle in its natural position, i.e. on its wheels for the PQ25 platform at Volkswagen of South Africa. The system is the only method available to the manufacturing plant to measure a fully assembled vehicle in this manner. The FlexMess system allows for a quick portable measurement of a vehicle at all stages of Vehicle manufacturing, aligned via the Volkswagen RPS standards. In the first part of the work, the problem of establishing a system capable of measuring the PQ25 platform is achieved by redesigning the PQ24 platform (previous generation Polo) to the new PQ25 vehicle platform. Once the system was redesigned a prototype adaptor system was created. In the second part of the work, the redesigned adaptor system is checked for its accuracy and repeatability. In a statistical analysis of the adaptors ability to measure the reference points needed for alignment of a vehicle, the system is compared to a CMM and verified that the limits fall within the limits of the original FlexMesśs certified accuracy limits. The last part of the work looks at addressing some of the problems of the FlexMess system by creating concepts for an ideal future FlexMess adaptor system.
